Heaps of Sand: Women's suffrage was good for something!
http://lunchstealer.blogspot.com/2009/07/womens-suffrage-was-good-for-something.html
Monday, July 20, 2009. Women's suffrage was good for something! When the US mint decided to make a silver dollar commemorating women's suffragist Susan B. Anthony, the result was one of the most sublime statements of duality known to man. The coin is roundly derided as the lamest dollar in US history, and yet on the flip side (literally) it is the awesomest coin ever minted in the United States. Dig it, yo. Happy Moon Landing Day, everybody! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

Heaps of Sand: August 2010
http://lunchstealer.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Saturday, August 21, 2010. Farewell, Farewell, Fellow Stargazer! This guy taught me all I know about being an unapologetic nerd. I wish I'd watched his show more, and learned more of what he had to teach. Tonight, snowflakes are dancing in the heavens. Thursday, August 05, 2010. Fuck You, Democracy! 7,001,084 out of 13,402,566 decided that they'd allow some people to have a chance to marry Nicole Kidman, but not others. And marriage isn't just about two people who love each other and want to spend th...

Heaps of Sand: This deal is getting worse all the time
http://lunchstealer.blogspot.com/2009/02/this-deal-is-getting-worse-all-time.html
Tuesday, February 10, 2009. This deal is getting worse all the time. I am altering the deal. Pray I don't alter it any further. In a closely watched case involving rendition and torture, a lawyer for the Obama administration seemed to surprise a panel of federal appeals judges on Monday by pressing ahead with an argument for preserving state secrets originally developed by the Bush administration. Hat Tip, Radley Balko. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Born in the Shenandoah Valley, reared in the Caro...

Heaps of Sand: If y'all could leave me out of your war, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
http://lunchstealer.blogspot.com/2008/08/if-yall-could-leave-me-out-of-your-war.html
Monday, August 11, 2008. If y'all could leave me out of your war, I'd appreciate it. Thanks. This dataset I was working on was for the Russian Caucasus, and includes Chechnya, North Ossetia, South Ossetia, and Abkhazia. There aren't any significant expansions of the data into Azerbaijan or other parts of Georgia. It's kind of creepy. And the cherry on top of this creepy-coincidence-sundae is that the coworker who made this request is named Mikhail. Ooh You're a cog in the war machine.

Heaps of Sand: Everybody do the time warp.
http://lunchstealer.blogspot.com/2009/10/1959-called-and-said-they-dont-want.html
Friday, October 16, 2009. Everybody do the time warp. 42 years after Loving v Virginia. Keith Bardwell, a Justice of the Peace in Tangipahoa Parish, Louisiana, has refused to grant a marriage license. In a pathetic display of self-delusion, he attempted to whitewash the stain on his soul, saying " I have piles and piles of black friends. Without a trace of irony, dug the hole deeper. "They come to my home, I marry them*, they use my bathroom. I treat them just like everyone else," he lied. Hat tip, Ali.

Heaps of Sand: Fuck You, Democracy!
http://lunchstealer.blogspot.com/2010/08/fuck-you-democracy.html
Thursday, August 05, 2010. Fuck You, Democracy! Several friends have hailed today's 9th Circuit ruling against Californias Proposition 8 - banning half the population from marrying Tom Cruise (which is kind of a blessing, but that's beside the point) - as a victory for democracy. It's a big deal. And democracy decided to screw over a bunch of people the voters didn't like. Fuck you, Democracy, how about a little CONSTITUTION on your ass? Seriously, democracy is good. It's way better than autocracy (y...

Heaps of Sand: March 2009
http://lunchstealer.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 30, 2009. How to f* k over Mexico's violent drug lords. Mexico is making headlines again, but not the good kind of headlines, like you want. They're not even making headlines because they're taking American jobs (although in this case they kinda are, but more on that later). No, Mexico is all over the news and the Secretary of State's lips because of violence. And a good portion of that violence is concentrated right up next to our border, and sometimes spills across it. Born in the Shenand...
