Random RecitalsA man who lies to himself, and believes his own lies, becomes unable to recognize truth, either in himself or in anyone else, and he ends up losing respect for himself and for others.

I’m donating 100% of gross receipts from my Etsy shop til the end of January to Dr. Paul Farmer’s organization, Partners in Health, if you want to make a donation and get something spiffy for your Valentine to boot. I’m going to [...]

Article by missy on November 5th, 2009 at 11:57 am “The injunction of Jesus to love others as ourselves is an endorsement of self-interest,” Goldman [Sachs]’s Griffiths said Oct. 20, his voice echoing around the gold-mosaic walls of St. Paul’s Cathedral, whose 365-feet-high dome towers over the City, London’s financial district. “We have to tolerate the inequality as a way to achieving greater prosperity and opportunity for all.” Greed is good!

Article by missy on October 21st, 2009 at 8:32 am and have been out of commission since Friday. Only benefit was I got through most of Jon Krakauer’s Where Men Win Glory: a wonderful, horrible read about Pat Tillman’s decision to leave the NFL for the Army Rangers after 9/11, and all that BushCo did to use him and abuse his family after his friendly fire death in Afghanistan. Truly, it is to read and [...]
Article by missy on October 1st, 2009 at 10:17 am I’m sure by now you’ve read or heard about John Perry’s cris de coeur begging the military to take care of “the Obama problem.” Some, like Jurassic Pork, have even questioned whether Perry is a real person or just some military officer in drag, projecting the tea-baggers’ “take our country back” screed through a civilian straw man. Unfortunately, Perry is a real person: [...]

Article by missy on September 22nd, 2009 at 10:04 am I once cut off the end of my left-hand ring finger in a buffet-line plate warmer. (It just missed taking all of the nailbed, so I’m lucky to have a weird – but existent – fingernail.) I broke two toes on my right foot while swimming by entangling them in the lane divider rope. A couple of years earlier I’d broken one of the same [...] Page 1 of 781234»50Last » | |
