    Random Recitals

    A 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. When he has no respect for anyone, he can no longer love, and in him, he yields to his impulses, indulges in the lowest form of pleasure, and behaves in the end like an animal in satisfying his vices. And it all comes from lying to others and to yourself.
    Fyodor Dostoevsky

    the meme that wouldn’t die

    Evidently AP is looking to interview women who were Hillary supporters who are now going to vote for McCain because he picked Sarah Palin as his VP.

    Because I believe many of the PUMAs truly are Republicans in Democratic clothing, I will be emailing to let the AP know why I, as a woman, would never vote for Sarah Palin.

    If you would like to do the [...]



    on the brink of real change

    A 25-year Special Forces veteran, who allegedly was rejected from a job after they learned she was transgender, gets her day in court.

    just one more thing i will never understand

    Why do U.S. forces shoot, repeatedly, almost everyone they come into contact with when they’re entering a home in Iraq to arrest someone? Isn’t this what Tazers were invented for?

    And why is it they seem to kill everyone but the person they’ve come to arrest? Coincidence, or is it just for the operational simplicity? Take no prisoners, except the one(s) we want [...]
