An Honor To Be Nominated
Asides
- Wear A Hoodie, Get Removed From House Floor
March 28, 2012 | 1:29 pmApparently, a Black man can’t wear a hoodie in Congress either. At least he didn’t get shot.
- No John Edwards Sex Tape
February 24, 2012 | 10:57 amThank goodness! The John Edwards sex tape — the one he made with his mistress and campaign videographer — will suffer the same fate as Edwards’ political career. It will be destroyed. Let’s hope no copies were made, and that one less of these things will be making the rounds online.
- Whitney Traffic
February 15, 2012 | 2:07 pmWeird. I haven’t posted anything about Whitney Houston’s death. I have an unfinished post that may go up soon, but that’s it. Still, I just peeked at my stats and discovered this 2008 post about Whitney House and Amy Winehouse got over 2,000 visits this weekend.
- Two CPAC Disappointments
February 10, 2012 | 5:00 amI came away from CPAC a little disappointed yesterday, for two reasons:
- I missed the dating seminar, which would have been entertaining, if nothing else.
- With GOProud gone, I couldn’t find any gay people to hang out with — even gay right-wingers would have been bright spot.
On the up side, it looks like I may be partying with gay, Republican presidential candidate Fred Karger tonight.
- 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?

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.
