Aggravator Aggregator Vol 1. | The Holy Swill
https://holyswill.wordpress.com/aggravator-aggregator-vol-1
Aggravator Aggregator Vol 1. Let them eat porridge. What will the rage (and by that I mean what Webster calls “a fit of violent anger”) for budget cuts actually mean? A wonk-ful take from the Center for Budget and Policy Priorities. On the state-level program and policy implications of letting Grover Norquist, Michelle Bachmann, and Rick Perry continue to impersonate smart people. No reason to worry about the Jesus freaks, Pt. 1. Who is Ross Douthat and why should we be scared of him? About one of the mo...

My parents got the call yesterday; there’s a spot for them at Genteel Oasis of Decrepitude by the Sea, the “lifecare retirement community” at which they’ve chosen to…umm…die.

Three years ago, my siblings and I finally convinced them to move from the suburban home in the generic community near the giant multinational. On the way home last ni...

1) It is the greatest good to the greatest number of people which is the measure of right and wrong. Everybody on earth knowing that beauty is beautiful makes ugliness. Everybody knowing that goodness is good makes wickedness. Stop being holy, forget being prudent, it’ll be a hundred times better for everyone. Ursula K. Le Guin. Our perfect companions never have fewer than four feet. When you believe in things that you don’t understand, then you suffer. Superstition ain’t the way. The path of the righteo...
