This video was featured on Countdown with Keith Olbermann this evening. It is from my hometown (Pensacola), and shows that a portion of the nation still sees the light with reason and logic.
Kudos to this man!
By the way...the background info for this story is this: "tea parties" were held around the country on Wednesday to protest "taxation," and other things that redneck republicans don't even understand. One of these "parties" was held in Pensacola, and this man...a stout progressivist and Democrat...stood in the middle of the crowd of Republicans and confused the HELL out of them.
Notice how all of the people in the crowd cheer for him until the very end, when they realize that they've been fooled.

racism
A while back, a colleague of mine asked me if things in the South really were as bad as people think. I responded that in order to answer that question, one had to experience the day-to-day life and make a judgment for themselves.
This newspaper article demonstrates that, yes, things really can be as bad as everyone thinks.
If this lady is LUCKY, the news and the story of her racist ass will stay confined to the deep south...but not if I have anything to say about it. She's a TEACHER, for crying out loud!
Anyway, I put up with stuff like this everyday of my life. In Oregon it rains, it's cold, there's dead trees and the occasional scent of rotten moss and fertilizer around every corner, but compared to Pensacola, FL...it's a bloody fucking paradise.

some stuff
I saw this story on the website of my hometown's newspaper. I thought it was absolutely hilarious, so I thought I would share with everyone. (be sure to check out the video on the right side of the screen for full enjoyment)

That will probably only be up for a few days, so get it while the gettin's good.
Also, "Transfer Cases" is now published and available at www.decompmagazine.com. Just look for my name. (there is a typo that I've email them about....a stray question mark. See if you can find it!)
Jedi edit: The stray question mark has been fixed.
