Subversive Talk

30-May-06

Very annoying. Just caught K-Pax on Bravo, and grateful I checked it out a bit on the Internet Movie Database. Evidently, a few lines of Prot’s got cut:
Every being in the universe knows right from wrong, Mark.
And:
Let me tell you something, Mark. You humans, most of you, subscribe to this policy of an [...]

Wisdom Amongst the Anagrams

29-May-06

I was having a little fun with Sternest Meanings, a website which features a ‘bot’ which will create an anagram of whatever you tell it (rearrange the letters to form new words). For example:
Me: I am the great and powerful Mike; tremble all ye who come before me!
sternest: Deathful tapeworm migraine — meekly became [...]

A “Learning Experience”? Oh, GOOD.

28-May-06

Bush recently admitted that saying “bring it on” and “wanted: dead or alive” were dumbass maneuevers. Video and transcript. Excerpt:
Q: … which missteps and mistakes of your own you most regret?
A: … saying “bring it on,” kind of tough talk, you know, that sent the wrong signal to people. I learned some lessons [...]

Mom, if you’re reading this, don’t watch this one. The rest of you who know what you’re getting into, enjoy. (But let the whole thing load before hitting ‘play.’)

Just Amend It ‘Til You’re Happy, Bushie

20-May-06

Jesus. I hadn’t realized how incredibly screwed up we were until this moment. Do you realize that Bush has been using “signing statements” to amend legislation as he signs it into law? That has why he has never vetoed a bill.
From the Boston Globe, via the Buffalo Beast:
Dec. 30, 2005: “US interrogators [...]

20-May-06

David Gregory, NBC’s chief White House correspondent, who has asked some of the more insightful and pressing questions in the briefings with McClellan, sat down with Bush himself recently. The discussion, which can be seen here, had some amazing moments:
Gregory: In the most recent survey, your disapproval rating is now one point lower than [...]

The Rev. Frederick McFeely Rogers

20-May-06

On Friday evening, I watched a recording of Fred Rogers giving testimony before the Senate Subcommittee on Communications in 1969. The Corporation for Public Broadcasting had recently been started, but President Nixon wanted to slash its funding (the proposed endowment was $20 million, and Nixon wanted to cut that over half) in half in [...]
