(Community Matters) Possibly my favorite commercial of the decade

sorry I couldn’t get to load.  Video here

review

(Community Matters) Watching Glee this evening, realizing it’s about the life of 25 – 35 year olds superimposed on our memories of high school

Vodpod videos no longer available.

(Community Matters) to the extent yesterday’s gun toting marches are intended to “warn” anyone of some groups’ discontent – are you f#%king kidding me?

Progressives, liberals, most people of color, most of the LGBT community, etc de facto accepted when the S Ct cut short the counting of presidential ballots to decide in favor of GWB. We mostly – agreed, not completely – supported the commander in chief in two failed wars, admittedly not quietly though we didn’t threaten insurrection or violence.  And, when the previous administration spent us from a trillion dollar surplus to an 8 trillion dollar projected deficit, we didn’t rise up in arms.

Today’s threats are intolerable.  Don’t be fooled into thinking misplaced force won’t be met with force.

I’m not talking about those demonstrating for second amendment or other rights.  I’m talking about those threatening violence, militas or any other form of armed resistance

btw, you didn’t get mad . . .

(Community Matters) Not a surprise to anyone – article, Change.org

Blame it on the bank bailout. Blame it on a black president. Blame it on healthcare reform, or the sheer desperation of people who are angling backwards as the country moves forward.

Whatever the cause, the stats are unmistakable. A report released from the Southern Poverty Law Center last month shows hate groups are on the rise.
