Americans, she said, love to trumpet their freedom. But it’s hard to square that with political correctness that straitjackets communication for fear of giving unintended offense, hair-trigger litigiousness that requires major corporations to treat customers (”Caution: Coffee is hot”) like idiots for fear of being sued, zero tolerance policies and mandatory sentencing guidelines that remove human judgment from human encounters for fear of rendering unequal justice.
… A nation of iconoclasts and originals seems hellbent on becoming a nation of hall monitors. A nation born in revolution has lived to see revolution neutered and co-opted. So much so that even that which poses as a threat to the status quo (hip-hop, for example) nowadays has commercial sponsorship and corporate tie-ins.
” Leonard Pitts, Jr., my favorite column writer. (http://www.miamiherald.com/living/columnists/leonard_pitts/story/523915.html)Sigh. These are the words of a misogynist, and yet I still catch myself worrying about whether or not this is true.
The article argues that men find women who seek independence off-putting — then goes to say that men also find women who mention wanting to get married or have kids off-putting. LOL contradiction!

Oh, men! Such desirable creatures. Honestly, sometimes I just don’t know how I get through the day without wanting to marry, have sex with, doodle the names of and just plain ol’ worship every one of them I meet. It’s tough, I tell ya. But god, life must be even harder when you’re a man, dealing with those pesky women who just want to MARRY or HAVE SEX with you all the time.

LOVE THAT LAST BIT, GIRL. Preach on!
So I was reading an Entertainment Weekly article the other day about the Harold and Kumar movie. The article was speculating as to why Pot Movies do so terrible at the box office and yet the DVD sales are huge. They really had no idea, no clue.
>_>
No one who enjoys weed is going to want to go sit in a movie about weed and halfway through lose their high from smoking a quick bowl in the car. So they wait until the DVD comes out, and then they can invite all of their friends over for a fun, forgetful afternoon.
Duh.
art crush of the day: Jacob Dahlgren
!!! There’s one of those, made with yellow plastic strings, on the UT campus! I pass by it every day on my way to work and may or may not have ridden my bike through it a few times.
I wonder if it’s the same artist.
On John McCain: “We don’t need a president with a bucket list. Who’s going to be his VP? A nurse?”
On Clinton’s experience: “My wife, we’ve been married 10 years, but if she got on stage now, y’all wouldn’t laugh at all.”
On Obama: “We’ve never seen a black man so cool — that wasn’t in the music business…” …and Reverend Wright: “Have you ever met a 75-year-old black man in this country that wasn’t angry? I mean, they have a few reasons.”
On voting: “They don’t want you to vote. If they did, we wouldn’t vote on a Tuesday. In November. You ever throw a party on a Tuesday? No. Because nobody would come.” (via)
I know, I know, REBLOGS. But I want to save this for always.
