Tomorrow it will be back to business as usual, all kitten farts and Top 10 lists of Chuck Bass's favorite colors of ascot. But for today, just for today, let's stay in this feeling. We don't get it very often.

The Terminator trudged along the wooded path towards the lake, his gun dangling by his side, the taunts still ringing in his hypersensitive bionic ears. He stared at the ground as he walked, and didn't even bother scanning anything with...

Do you ever eat foods that you know you don't like, just to remind yourself why you don't like them? I think that's a good thing to do sometimes! The worst case scenario is that you might momentarily have a...

Last weekend, something strange happened. Some of the Videogum Monsters created their own secret, password-protected chat room. In 2009! Incredible! I suppose every monster has his cave, or whatever. As it turned out, though, we already had a Videogum Chat...

I went to see Where the Wild Things Are on Saturday, but it was sold out. Ay-ay-ay. That was a surprise! I mean, anticipation for this movie seemed pretty high, but anticipation for lots of movies seems high, especially when...

Everytime I see this video, it slays me when the kid ramps himself up as if the next gift could possible top the Nintendo 64, even it were something Nintendo 64-related. No N64 peripheral (were there any?) can ever top receiving the system itself.

I totally am with you, and totally felt that way last night too.
But with civil rights eroding in multiple states, its a bittersweet day for me.
Especially since 70% of African Americans in California voted yes to Prop 8, and the fact that he won over 60% of the vote says that plenty of Obama supporters voted yes to Prop 8. We can fight for their rights, but when we need them, they completely turn their backs on us. It sucks.
Score = 2
OK, but let's be easy on the "they" stuff. Obviously I agree with you about Prop 8. The fact that it was even on the California ballot was disheartening and the fact that it's probably going to pass is heartbreaking. But didn't "we" (also it wasn't really we, it was we's parents and we's grandparents) fight for "their" rights because it was the right thing to do? Part of the importance of fighting for equal rights is a fundamental, INARGUABLE belief in the way the world should work. It's not a tit for tat argument. You support equal rights without the expectation of anything in return. And hopefully that type of selfless dedication to what's fair and right will bleed over into less tolerant or less informed populations and lead towards genuine progress.
Score = 3
I want to see him open the box and Nintendo 64 dust spills out because he beat the shit out of it too much.
Totally agree on the civil rights erosion with the bullshit in California among other states. But fuck it, Go Canada!

Speaking of Barack Obama:
Barack Obama is a racial-minority individual, and in his heart and mind he inevitably does not endorse hate crimes committed by George W. Bush.
George W. Bush committed hate crimes of epic proportions and with the stench of terrorism (indicated in my blog).
George W. Bush did in fact commit innumerable hate crimes.
And I do solemnly swear by Almighty God that George W. Bush committed other hate crimes of epic proportions and with the stench of terrorism which I am not at liberty to mention.
Many people know what Bush did.
And many people will know what Bush did—even to the end of the world.
Bush was absolute evil.
Bush is now like a fugitive from justice.
Bush is a psychological prisoner.
Bush has a lot to worry about.
Bush can technically be prosecuted for hate crimes at any time.
In any case, Bush will go down in history in infamy.

I am not sure where I had read it before, but anyway, it is a linguistically excellent statement, and it goes kind of like this: “If only it were possible to ban invention that bottled up memories so they never got stale and faded.” Oh wait—off the top of my head—I think the quotation came from my Lower Merion High School yearbook.
