Crushes: Rose McGowan in Glasses

Rose McGowan in Glasses Meander Slow Roasted black dress fishnet stockings high heels


From The Bastardly - Rose McGowan in Glasses. ZOMG - she needs to do a movie wearing these. If she wore these on Charmed, the show would still be on.

There's nothing about this picture that I don't love, love, love. There's a dozen of these shots at the link.

I Drove All Night

I've believed that this song was a Roy Orbison song that Cyndi Lauper covered, awesomely. I was surprised to read that Cyndi was the first to release "I Drove All Night"! Orbison never released his version until 1992!

Wikipedia:
"I Drove All Night" is a song written by Billy Steinberg and Tom Kelly… Read full post »

"Irrelevant"

Troll Crushing

From the comments section at another site:

Troll: "Marriage is defined as the union of a man and a woman, check it in the dictionary. "

WRONG:

Definitions of Marriage on the Web:

* the state of being a married couple voluntarily joined for life (or until divorce); "a long and happy marriage"; "God bless… Read full post »

A Strange Alchemy

A comment from ProfWombat at Eschaton this morning:


Something happened to Obama, and to a lot of us as we watched. I'm old enough to recall well what happened with Robert F. Kennedy, McCarthyite lawyer and union buster, carpetbagger, opportunist, who, for reasons still unclear to me, grew into as dece/

Obama's grandmother dies of cancer in Hawaii

Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama's grandmother died of cancer, he said in a statement on Monday, a little more than a week after Obama interrupted the White House race to say goodbye to her in Hawaii.

Thank you, Mrs. Dunham.

Righteous

From PowerPop.
I can't help but feeling that Obama is thinking, "My daughter got to meet Bruce Springsteen tonight! How cool is that!" A dad can be no more righteous.


Added 11/05/2008: Except, of course, when he gets his girls a puppy because he just won the White House.

An Apology

My Apologies to all of those who asked me to vet documents for them and asked me, "Is This Racist"?

That answer was consistently "Yeah, probably", but I was not able to answer directly, due to lack of time and will and energy.

One of the amazing things about Obama and his…

The Future is Now

Just got a call from my co-worker.

"I just voted! I just voted!" She was so proud.

She, her 80-year old mother, and her 18-year old daughter went to the polls together this morning.

Three generations of black women, voting together.

May God Almighty save and protect any fool that chooses to stand agains…

Running out of Places To Park

Atrios discusses Car Sharing...

Maybe some other Houstonians can check me on this, but I'm getting the distinct impression that even here, we've run out of places to park. Any place worth getting to, you can't park there any more.

I believe that there would be major benefits in offering substantial tax/…

Losing His Religion

It occurs to me that McCain is making the same mistake that Al Gore made back in 2000.

Because of the impeachment and Lewinski issues, Gore decided to keep Clinton at arm's length, depriving himself of a major fundraiser and an effective advocate. He still won, of course, but maybe the extra…

Crushes: Milla Jovovich

So, Friday night, TNT ran one of their periodic Superhero/Fantasy/Action bloc of movies. At least, I'm sure that's how they think of it.

Me, I always think of it as the Night of Kick-Ass Babes In Tight, Tight Pants!

First Kate Beckinsale In Underworld, Milla Jovovich in UltraViolet, and then Charlize T…

Universal health care NOW

It's time to seriously discuss universal health care.

From Spocko, one of my heroes:

I need to live in a society where my daughter's access to the insulin she needs every day to live is not subject to the whims of my employer. And I think Obama offers me that option.

I hope.

Right-wing domestistic terrorism is a lock.

Projector

McCain's been going on about a planetarium projector all this time?

No shit?

Gramps, by any standards, a Senator who gets the Feds to buy a fucking planetarium projector for his people, is a fucking saint. What a mean fucking old man you are.

God, I'm embarassed just having to say that.

Blood Libel

Seeing as the the Dow tanked on Monday, I thought that I would break my "no cable news" rule and check out the discussion when I got home.

I was reminded AGAIN that I have a very good reason for that rule.
