Comic Fun...

Finding this site at 2am may be part of the reason that I found it so funny, but it is a great site to see some old comic covers and scenes. Most are done for humour, but the WW2 covers and text are a good bit disturbing.

I like that he doesn't alter the comic but makes commentary.

And no Batman isn't... :)

Old but good

This article and its second part are really good. I find alot of what the writer says is fantastic insight to why we have the political mess we have now.

Sad that we have to legislate fairness in media, but it is time for it to come back. Human nature is human nature.

Some Articles to look at...

I have seen some news and other articles that I wanted to post out and pass on for others to look at.

Carl Bernstein has written a really interesting commentary for Vanity Fair. It is well worth a read. It is long, but it is one of the best arguments that I have seen for a real investigation into what has been going on with the Bush Administration.

In other news, Congress seems to be rolling back Civil Rights. They are considering revising the Higher Education Act to allow discrimination on religious and moral grounds. Now, dont get me wrong they have the right to limit who they want, but they cant take government money if they should have to allow all. They dont take a dime from the government for anything they can do as they wish. I dont think that the government should change to allow them to take money and discriminate.

Virginia continues to ratchet up the discrimination as well. There is no reason to put discrimination into the Virginia Bill of Rights, which is where this amendment would go. Even the governor feels that it would jepordize contracts between members of the same sex, no matter who they are.

Finally, in the well I knew that catagory. Time has announced that Jamaica is the worst place on earth to be gay. This is not new for any part of the Carribbean. I hate to say it but the best thing that gays can do is vote with their wallets here.

Anyway that is my round up.
NOTE: I edited this to take out some venom that I put in this morning.

Who have they been talking to...

So Monday, we get Chinese and this is my fortune.

"Versatility is one of your outstanding traits."

hrm...makes you wonder...

Love is...

(WARNING: Sappy and probably more information than anyone needs to know about my thoughts)

As I ramp up to our day, I have been doing the wedding ceremony and thinking alot about what love means to me and how I love my partner.

Here are some random thoughts on love.

Love is hard.
Love is painful.
Love is worth it.
We dont use the right words to describe it.
Love doesnt follow rules or norms.
Love doesnt involve sex, but sex with love is better.
Love is not always patient, but patience can make love grow sometimes.
Love makes the days better and wipes away the tears.
Love changes the way you view things.
The best love is one that gives of who you are to the other person. The Greeks called it Agape.
Love is sharing - the good, the bad, the ugly.
Love can be between friends; spouses; family.
Love means you are not alone even if you think you are.

That is it for now.

Doors closing...

A very interesting article on the changes that might come from the overturning of Roe v. Wade.

I think it is interesting that most likely over 30% of the abortions performed in the US will not be affected by these changes other than woman will have to resort to back alleys.

I cant find a link on it, but there have also been some interesting articles lately on abortion laws in El Salvador which is the strictest in the Western Hemisphere and criminalizes the doctor if he doesnt report that a woman tried to end her own pregnancy. Although El Salvador also has the most progressive birth control program as well and does alot of free distribution to women and men.

At it again...

So the leaks start again about what we are planning to do about Iran. Who thinks that this will bring them to the table or get them to comply faster? One way to make a people stiffen their necks is to threaten them with attacks. I understand it is a negotiating tactic in some ways, but dont you think the Iranians will only stiffen their resolve.

On the other side, if Russia and China think that aiding Iran will make them immune, they are sadly mistaken. Extremists with nukes should be feared by everyone.

Ah well...
