Hello world!
I got a new theme.
I got a new job.
I’m looking for a new apartment.
I suck at posting.
I am totally sorry about that, internet. It’s not ALL my fault. For the last month, every time I’ve logged into wordpress, I’ve been prompted to upgrade. By the time I finish upgrading, I don’t feel like writing anymore.
Okay, totally my fault for being a word-wuss. I won’t give up as often anymore.
How are you guys doing? Is anyone out there?
The blood spatter was all my idea.
Go vote 5 and buy (if you like it, anyway!) for this sweet tee.
Testing iphone app capabilities.
Typing this into my iPhone instead of my laptop.
This could be a big boon for me. Super moblog!
In which Barack Obama loses my vote.

I want to take this opportunity to speak directly to those of you who oppose my decision to support the FISA compromise.
This was not an easy call for me. I know that the FISA bill that passed the House is far from perfect. I wouldn’t have drafted the legislation like this, and it does not resolve all of the concerns that we have about President Bush’s abuse of executive power. It grants retroactive immunity to telecommunications companies that may have violated the law by cooperating with the Bush Administration’s program of warrantless wiretapping. This potentially weakens the deterrent effect of the law and removes an important tool for the American people to demand accountability for past abuses. That’s why I support striking Title II from the bill, and will work with Chris Dodd, Jeff Bingaman and others in an effort to remove this provision in the Senate.
The FISA court’s powers were already ridiculously overreaching. Saying that returning to what is at best a basic separation of powers and at worst a pantomime of asking for a retroactive warrant.
There’s no excuse for supporting the continuation of the warrantless wiretapping program. Obama says that he’d rather support an imperfect compromise than wait for a perfect bill. That’s the most backward thinking I’ve heard come from his normally golden tongue. If a bill is bad, vote against it. It’s as simple as that.
Obama is trying to appear strong on terror at the cost of angering his base. I know a lot of his supporters will ignore or forgive this transgression, but I won’t be among them.
No Country for Arizona?
There are striking visual similarities in the two movies that, in this writer’s humble opinion, sum up the two different styles of Coen Brothers movies.

Crap…
“The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. I mean, life is tough. It takes up a lot of your time. What do you get at the end of it? A Death! What’s that, a bonus? I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first, get it out of the way. Then you live in an old age home. You get kicked out when you’re too young, you get a gold watch, you go to work. You work forty years until you’re young enough to enjoy your retirement. You do drugs, alcohol, you party, you get ready for high school. You go to grade school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities, you become a little baby, you go back into the womb, you spend your last nine months floating…
…and you finish off as an orgasm.”
