More Proof Walmart is run by evil people
http://www.boxturtlebulletin.com/2009/11/07/16449Link by way of ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) gblvrLet's see just *how* discriminatory and bigoted we can be today, boys and girls. And I've talked to people who don't understand why I refuse to shop at WalMart for anything. Luckily, I am in an area where I do have other choices of where to shop. I know there are some areas where if you don't want to shop at Walmart, you can grown your own food or starve, or weave your own cloth or go naked, because they've put everyone else out of business. Which is yet another reason to hate them, actually. |

Political Fun
So Alan Grayson is a freshman Congressman from Florida. And he actually wants real answers when he asks the tough questions. Questions like, if you are an auditor, shouldn't you know where the money is going? This happened in May, but I just found it today and had to share. |

10 Years ago today
I was married to my best friend. Happiest day of my life. I'd post a picture, but I have a free account and can't upload pictures. |

Requesting assistance
As my final project for my summer graduate class on creativity I am going to write a paper on the evolution of anime fandom in America, and I would appreciate any and all memories you are willing to share with me. My teacher was fascinated when I told her I got into the fandom because in the late 1980s early 1990s it was possible to tell science fiction stories in animation that could not be done live action at the time (CGI was not really developed yet), and the Japanese (since to them animation was not necessarily just for kids) were telling some pretty good stories. I don't know how much I'll be able to find, particularly about the early days 20+ years ago, by researching through the school library and doing google searches so I am hoping to get as much personal memories as I can to be able to have a decent paper. I'd really appreciate it, and please feel free to forward this to anyone else you think may help. Thanks! |

Leverage
So I watched Leverage last night for the first time. I don't know. It was entertaining enough, if you ignore the huge gaping holes in the logic. Not the plot - that flowed. But some of the other stuff? ( Read more... ) |

Kindly read, take action, and pass on
From elmyraemilie's journal" From Neil Gaiman's Twitter account, I have this link: National Guidelines for Embryonic Stem Cell Research Under AttackCatholic organizations have mobilized to skew comments on the National Institutes of Health's guidelines for embryonic stem cell research. According to the website linked here, of the 6000 comments registered so far, 99% of them are against any kind of ESCR at all. If you want to see medical research into ESCR in the United States being carried out on a basis of open scientific inquiry rather than religious objection, please click the link and add your comments at the website indicated. |

Happy Mother's Day and a movie review (no spoilers)
To any out there who celebrate it. And I don't want to post spoilers for those who have not yet seen it, but electroweak and I went out on a date Friday night to the new Trek movie and dinner afterwards (tasty, tasty, Thai food) and I just have to say the movie was totally worth it. We enjoyed it immensely, and from the applause at the end of the film everyone else in the theater did too. As someone who thought the Next Gen series premiering on her birthday lo these many years ago was a fantastic (if unknown and unmeant) birthday present and who has seen all the movies in the theater (even the ones that were awful, and that we knew going in were going to be awful) I have to say it was really nice to see what a good job they did with it. |

WTF?
So in my humor bookmarks I have a site called News of the Weird. Updated every Sunday with the current week's column, the author collects odd news stories from around the globe and presents them in one neatly organized place. I don't always remember to check it out on Sundays, but at some point during the week I do try to spend a few moments reading about other people's stupidity because it tends to make me smile. But sometimes it makes me want to weep for the species. Case in point, from the April 26th column: A high school student in Oakton, Va., was suspended for two weeks in March when she inadvertently brought to school her birth-control pill (her prescription for which was approved by her mother). It was only then (with two weeks off to research it) that the girl discovered that, in comparison, county rules required only one week's suspension for bringing heroin to school. Officials told the Washington Post that birth-control pills are particularly objectionable because they countermand the school system's "abstinence-only" sex education classes. [Washington Post, 4-5-09]If this is from the "county rules" then that implies to me that it is a public school. I believe I am appalled. The main site is here if anyone is interested: http://www.newsoftheweird.com/index.html |
