Vada a bordo, cazzo!
We live in a world where people are quick to pass the buck, to claim it’s not their problem, to blame others, to manipulate the truth, to lie. It might not be anything new, but I feels like it gets worse every year. The outraged that Italian cost guard commander De Falco expressed at the …

Nothing to see here folks…
In the middle of the night the police move in to kick out the OWS protesters. The mayor said it was over health and legal concerns. Thank goodness NYC is run by someone who cares so much about health and legality that he gives no-bid contracts to drink venders in our schools and decides the …

Your Guide to the Budget
Click to enlarge. With all the talk of a government shutdown, you may be confused as to why tax breaks for millionaires are good for the economy, while funding the services necessary for a functioning society is bad. The answer is: you get what you pay for. And by that I mean, if you can …

Revisiting: Mixed Media
Click to enlarge It’s astounding to me that “liberal” Hollywood is responsible for corrupting our minds, but vicious right-wing hate speech gets a free pass. I’m not advocating censorship. But if you’re going to take advantage of the right to free speech, you have to take responsibility for the things you say.

Sign of the Times
click to enlarge. This one has been bouncing around in my head for years. I decided to do it now, upon hearing that The Washington Times was likely going out of business. No, it’s not that the paper is no longer making a profit—it never has made one. It’s that the Times‘ is losing its …

Sleep Deficit Disorder
click to enlarge. This one has been churning around my brain for a few months. And really, it could be used to call out conservatives on just about any issue that they conveniently ignored under the Bush reign; but deficit reduction is probably their most laughable hypocrisy. Plus it’s easier to make a pun with. …

Pick up your phone, Senators!
I tried calling my Senators today to get them to stop being a bunch of cowards and start acting like Democrats (you know, the majority party in a state that’s largely democratic) and push health care reform. I couldn’t get through to Schumer (no voicemail? really?) and Gillibrand number sent me to Verizon (not that …

How to stick your foot in your month in academia and thus destroy your career before it starts ~or~ What happens when you mention a known fact
Being that I have been asked in the past to promote the on-line evaluations at Queens College, and seeing that I’m both president of my student association and have been asked to join the Academic Senate’s committee on redesigning student evaluations, it seemed a good idea at the time to promote this semester’s evaluation process. …

Batman: False Faces – Brian K. Vaughan OR shut-up and let me read the comic myself
What not to do in and introduction: write about how crappy the stories are that you are writing an introduction for. Few things an author can do infuriates me more than when they are belittling their own work. And no, it’s not that they are being open-minded to their flaws; you can do that without …

Evil of Facebook

Settings 2. Privacy 3. News Feed and Wall 4. Click on “Facebook Ads” 5. In the ‘Appearance in Facebook Ads’ …

Blast from the Past
As a tribute to former Bush Press Secretary Scott McClellan’s “new revelations” about the dishonesty of the Bush admisinistration (and their predictable response), I humbly resubmit this cartoon from March of 2004. You’ll note that some of the people in this comic who are shouting have since become those being shouted at (including Scott himself). …

Historical Illusion
The Bush Administration is spending lots of energy reminding us how important Iraq is (especially with an election coming up). Unfortunately, their historical allusions are really just hysterical illusions… Click on image to enlarge.

Now Accepting
Click to apply now. The armed forces have recently been failing to meet recruitment goals. It could be because they’ve been told to stop using illegal recruiting methods. Or maybe it’s because there’s a freaking war going on. In any case, in order to meet their recruitment numbers, they’ve not only lowered their goals, …
