I am doing a bed cast today because my back is hurting! And I haven’t talked to anyone much so my voice is scratchy. But you may like the way this sounds because of the pillows and mattress blocking some of the echos. I don’t record this often because . . . → Read More: Flyswatter 11-10-2010

After a long time, an actual post!

I have been neglecting this podcast, and haven’t even been writing in this blog for a while. Certain events in my real life which I really do not want to go into have caused me to want to pull into myself and hide my personal self from the internet. I have been doing some posting . . . → Read More: After a long time, an actual post!

Traffic Court Pt. 2

Vino Wong/vwong@ajc.com

Well, I’m back from Traffic Court.

Back in early December, I got ticketed for running a red light that turned red as I passed through it. Dumb me–but I’ve been hit from behind on several occasions when I stopped on a yellow light so I tend to speed up and scoot on . . . → Read More: Traffic Court Pt. 2

Traffic Court

Clifford told me today that he wanted to go for a walk, so I said I’d walk with him so he wouldn’t get lost. As an 87-year-old man with dementia who has lived with us since April, he has never once found his way home on his own power. I told him I had to . . . → Read More: Traffic Court

Wretched lately

I have been extremely stressed lately. Clifford, the 87-year-old uncle of my husband whom I’ve been staying home watching since last April, has gotten worse. He’s much more confused, weaker, and sleeps much more than he was. When he’s awake he asks the same questions over-and-over and tells me the most random anecdotes. I worry . . . → Read More: Wretched lately

American Humanist Ad

Here’s the ad from American Humanist. I don’t know. While I like the sentiment that Barack Obama’s mother raised him to be a decent human being in a secular household, Obama himself is a Christian, whether that is for political expediency or for a true religious inclination. It seems like crass opportunism on American . . . → Read More: American Humanist Ad

From Democracy Now! On NSA’s wiretapping being outsourced to Israel

James Bamford talks about foreign companies spying on Americans for NSA. This is very frightening.

Children killed in Gaza by shooting directly into their chests and heads

A friend on LiveJournal said that Israel is practicing aparthaid whereas Hamas is practicing insurgency.

But I do know that Israel’s attack on the people of Gaza is like shooting fish in a barrel. The people have nowhere to go, no way to protect themselves, and the innocent are dying. And Arabs see images . . . → Read More: Children killed in Gaza by shooting directly into their chests and heads

“Stop! You’re shooting at kids!”

From Korean TV, unarmed Palestinian woman confronts Israeli soldiers who are shooting into a crowd.

EDIT: I just found out from somebody on Facebook that the woman’s name is Huwaida Arraf; she is with the International Solidarity Movement.

Hemophiliac children knowingly injected with AIDS virus

A division of Bayer, Cutter Biological, knowingly sold AID-infected Factor VIII concentrate (for blood clotting) in the 1980s to children with hemophilia to Latin America, Asia and certain countries in Europe, according to the New York Times. No one at Bayer has admitted to any wrongdoing.

Minnesota Senate Race

It looks like finally, FINALLY the Minnesota Senate race is over. It appears after the recount of wrongly-rejected absentee ballots, Democrat Al Franken is the winner over Republican Incumbant Norm Coleman by 225 votes.

Whoops, spoke too soon–Coleman has vowed to keep fighting, so it isn’t over yet for at least a week. Also Senator . . . → Read More: Minnesota Senate Race

Bottled liquid bullshit

Did you ever see the remarkably woo-woo pseudoscientific movie “What the (Bleep) Do We Know!?” There was a scene where water molecules could be influenced by thoughts–words taped on the bottles could change the crystals when frozen, depending on the words used. The movie relays the astounding information that the natives of the West . . . → Read More: Bottled liquid bullshit

Information hoarding

The last time I looked at blog aggregator (I use and really like NewsGator, just so ya know), I had subscribed to over 500 blogs. I have about 150 podcast subscriptions feeding into iTunes on various computers and don’t even have a working iPod to easily listen to them anymore, so they are just there . . . → Read More: Information hoarding

Imagine by John Lennon

I always liked this music video. And I always liked this song. We used to sing it when we were active in First Existentialist Congregation, which was a kind of far left branch of the Unitarian Universalists down near the Little Five Points, Inman Park, Lake Claire and Candler Park areas of Atlanta. Sadly, . . . → Read More: Imagine by John Lennon

Goodbye Dubya, you old asswipe.

I was kind of reeling from the auto industry bailout that never was and felt Bush was on the right side, then was kind of amused at the shoe-throwing Iraqi reporter incident, and then I read this. Arrgh! Do the Repubs just not want this country to survive if they aren’t in power? Do they . . . → Read More: Goodbye Dubya, you old asswipe.
