Kiva Paid Off!

Kiva Loan: My first Kiva loan was paid off! Investing in a liquor store meant that the $25 I invested has been fully paid off. I’ve invested it in someone riskier this time: Anderson Cristaldo, a 21 year old salesman in Paraguay. He’s cute, he’s young, and I was the first person to loan him […]

Minor Dilemma

So this past weekend the weather in Weimar was fantastic—and I headed out to the park wearing a t-shirt with shorts.

I was a book stuck in the back pocket, a novel I was in the middle of reading. I first headed to the Weimar Office, where I read a hearty chunk of the novel, […]

Republican Values, Evaluated

12 Minutes of detail analysis of Republican George W Bush’s time in Iraq, including his sacrifice honoring dead soldiers: he’s given up golf.

Blog Birthday

Four years with 1,493 blog entries and 4,420 comments.

I’ve certainly gone places and done things far beyond what I expected to do when I started. My deepest gratitude to all of you reading my blog; even more to those of you who have commented on it over the last four years. I hope you […]

Happy Holiday

Ah, to be European…

Such a plethora of holidays at your fingertips—and today is Pfingsten. In English that’s the Pentecost, which still gives me no clue what the holiday is about. I understand Easter (Christ on a Cross), Christmas (Christ in a Manger), and even Ascension (Christ goes to Heaven), but even after reading about […]

I’m not really sympathetic.

Like the guys who own gigantic SUVs in America who are just now discovering that not only are the vehicles expensive to purchase, they’re expensive to keep running. With fuel just now approaching […]

Oral Killing

I hadn’t realized the source of all the problems in the United States until yesterday, and Samee wanted me to write about it.

It was back on June 7, 1965, when the US Supreme Court ruled that it was okay to break the law and sell unmarried women birth control pills in Connecticut—and thusly an […]

Sexy, Sexy Obama

Now that there are only a smattering of states left to vote in the Democratic nomination process, I might as well come out of the closet.

I want to fuck Barack Obama.

Seriously, he is sexy: nice body, dresses well, can say all the sweet nothings that will make my heart swoon.

He reminds me […]

Guess Who.

Lips Sealed

Ok, all it took was me writing that the black computer reboot thing had been fixed.

Let me assure it, it wasn’t and last night it totally screwed up my computer, to the point where I gave up trying to use it, and went to bed with only my imagination working. It’s scary out there.
