An Honor To Be Nominated
Asides
- Bah, Humbug. Here’s My iPhone 3G
November 29, 2011 | 12:18 pmOK. I plead guilty to this When I got my iPhone 4, I gave Parker my old iPhone 3G (with parental controls in place, phone service deactivated, everything restored to factory settings, history wiped clean, and internet access and the App Store on lockdown) to play games on, etc. But does that make me a “Scrooge”? Puh-leeze. An eight-year-old needs the latest iPhone?
- Feeling Bookish
September 9, 2011 | 12:04 pmIt’s happening again. I’m getting that “I’ve got a book in me, if I can make time to write it,” feeling. Of course, that “if” is the big, and the deciding, factor.
- There Is Too Such a Thing as Bisexuality
August 24, 2011 | 12:38 pmI was never one of those who claim “there’s no such thing as bisexuality.” I’ve known too many bisexuals to buy that the “don’t exist.” So, I’m not surprised that a study now indicates there is too such a thing as bisexuality. In men, that is.
- Kate, Cancelled
August 16, 2011 | 11:59 amApparently, it’s hard to build a successful television show around someone who’s (a) unlikeable and (b) had no discernible talent beyond reproducing.
- The POTUS To Tweet?
June 20, 2011 | 10:51 amIt’s not that I don’t trust the guy, and maybe the whole Weinergate thing has me a little gun shy, but am I the only who thinks Obama tweeting for himself may not be the best idea?

I know your comment is a little tongue in cheek, but in the light of October being Domestic Violence Awareness month, I have to just say the problem is not facebook, it’s domestic violence. This woman did not cause her own death through a facebook status update; please let’s not blame the victim. Her murderer caused her death by attacking her. It’s likely he would have found “cause” to murder, rape, beat, maim, or otherwise abuse her without facebook. Hearing a rumor or seeing her talking to another man could have triggered him. Whatever it is, it’s not her fault, because she has the right to live her life without threats of violence.
Ultimately, the responsibility to control himself is his, and thank goodness he got life in prison. But I urge you not to use victim-blaming language. It’s like me saying, “Acting gay in rural Tennessee? Not a good idea” and linking to part of your Hate Crimes series.
