Posted on 07. Feb, 2010 by Brad.
[ad]
As a long time Death Cab for Cutie fan, I was ecstatic to find out they were releasing a new album and even more excited to get my hands on a promo. Narrow Stairs is by far the best album I have heard in a while. It is not my favorite Death Cab album, as [...]

Lovely Latinas – MSN
Posted on 25. Jan, 2010 by Brad.
[ad]The list of Lovely Latinas from MSN this morning makes me cringe. Many of the stars pictured are very lovely, but I think the list went out of their way to pick horrid photos. I have seen prettier pictures of corpses a few days old than some these. The lighting was horrid, the expressions mostly distasteful [...]

History 101, or maybe 1936
Posted on 13. Dec, 2009 by Brad.
When did we quit teaching history in school? I find it all well and good that schools invest in teaching kids new technologies, but if this is what we get by skimping elsewhere, I may have to make some revisions to my thoughts on how education dollars are spent.
On the other hand I think [...]

Absolut and the Pissed off Californians
Posted on 10. Oct, 2009 by Brad.
Alcohol mixed with emotion is usually a bad thing. Reactionaries in the US are pissed because Absolute Vodka used a pre 1848 map of Mexico which included much of the west including California in an ad campaign aimed at the Mexican market in Mexico.

Winning in Iraq
Posted on 17. Apr, 2008 by Brad.
I am sick to death of being called a coward because I don’t think we should be fighting this war. A lot of good people don’t think we should be there either. A lot of real war heroes don’t think we should be there either. A lot of the top military minds don’t think this [...]

Racism in America
Posted on 10. Apr, 2008 by Brad.
I am more than a little disgusted that we are having to still talk about this. The fact is we do and it crosses every racial barrier in this country. Despite what some people would like you to believe it isn’t just white who are racists. There are plenty of them and since they hold [...]
