Kindergartner Suspended for Mohawk Haircut →
I will be starting a picket line and website to get my brother in hair reinstated next week. This kind of discrimination can not stand, fight the power!
This is one of my favorite Bloc Party songs, Luno, as covered by another good band, Death From Above 1979…enjoy!!

I love the miniature story line if you follow along with the pictures.
One thing to keep in mind while answering is to use a lot of nouns not pronouns....

Super! Delegates
via Youth and Young Manhood: I came across Hillary Clinton’s new propaganda website today: Delegate Hub (Seriously, the one domain name I haven’t registered. What was I thinking.) Hillary is actually lobbying to have the delegates from Michigan and Florida seated at the national convention, despite the Democratic National Committee ruling long ago that they wouldn’t be counted. Neither Hillary nor...

I hope meat never comes between us Tim, we’re stronger than that dammit!

Any Star Wars geek worth his weight in credits has to be very excited to see this. The animated series that aired on Cartoon Network a few years ago was very good so I can’t wait to see how it is in CG and all cleaned up.

Neck and Neck, Democrats Woo Superdelegates →
If the democratic nomination is decided by superdelegates, I’m going to be very upset. In that situation, it basically boils down to who has scratched whose back in the past and not the choice of the American people.

The Dangers of Genetic Engineering on Natural... →
Its not very often I speak out as a scientist and I apologize if this seems lame, but the frequency and severity of things like this continue to grow and cause me great distress. As a biology major, I fully appreciate what genetic engineering can and will do for humanity in the future. It just seems to me that the scientific community is way to gung ho when it comes to things like crop yield,...
Efficient Little Robot
Maybe its the loneliness, maybe its the insomnia, but every few months or so I embark on the ridiculous excursion of cleaning the shit out of my room. I throw out boxes and boxes of crap I should have never held on to in the first place. It started last night at 2 a.m. when I made a mix of “efficiency improving” music like Ryan Adams, Massive Attack, Justice, and TV on the Radio and...
