Website change

— Posted by Leshka at 9:24 pm

Yeah, I’d said I was going to change this before. The news depresses me. I can’t comment on the inanity of political and social life as we know it.

I can, however, point you to places that do comment to the news, as well as places and things I think are awesome. I’ve already started doing stuff like that in the past few posts, and I’ll still be doing some “Just Saying” posts. I might even change this old look. We’ll see about that, since there’s a lot going on in my life right now (when is that ever alleviated?)

Stay tuned!

Just Saying (the series)

So when the economy was worse than it is now and unemployment was up at 10%, life for the Republicans didn’t start until January 2009. Now that the troops are being withdrawn from Iraq, they suddenly remember their esteemed leader and cry foul. Forgetting, of course, that said leader put us in this mess in the first place.

OK, why haven’t I been watching Damages before this? Yeah, I thought it was just another lawyer show, but I finally followed the advice of a few people and started watching it. Unfortunately, I have work tomorrow, or I’d still be watching it right now. It’s freakin’ unbelievable! The manipulation Glenn Close has over the other people in this show reminds me of the Marquise in Dangerous Liaisons. This time it’s to win a case – and she’ll do anything to get her way. No spoilers here; you get that in the first episode. Watch it!

Oh, and start following Edward Finney’s Quest to Find the Meaning of Life. Drawing and surreal storyline remind me of Edward Gorey. You should start from the beginning, but the archive isn’t that long yet. Excellent stuff.

Dave Coulier made it into a political comic strip. Weird…

Just saying (# whatever in an occasional series)

If the Tea Party really have a problem with the Occupy Wall Street protesters being too white, maybe they should remember that in New York, three or more black people hanging out in one place is considered a gang, and they’ll get arrested even if they did nothing wrong.
