Big Bird is a Red Herring
It’s no secret that the United States is in financial trouble. According to the sensory overload Debt Clock website, the national debt is over $16 trillion, and the government is operating at a $1 trillion. As we roll into the 2012 Presidential Election, each candidate has a proposed solution, and Governor Romney’s plan includes a very divisive suggestion to excise non-critical programs and to...

And then I debated whether or not to put it on Tumblr…but I decided it was important. Because in my own way, I can (unfortunately) point out exactly what is wrong with men when they don’t realize how hard it is to be a woman. How we do not have equal opportunities and freedoms in everyday life….

The Middle Ground
On July 20, 2012, a gunman entered a theater in Aurora, Colorado where fans were enjoying a midnight screening of The Dark Knight Rises. In the ensuing chaos, twelve people were killed and fifty-eight others were wounded.

They are acting like the Sikh temple shooter being labeled as a right-wing extremist somehow means that all right-wingers = terrorists.

The 18-year-old Smith gave them the “verbal kicking they deserved” on her blog:
As Hannah pointed out earlier, we don’t lift weights in order to look hot, especially for the likes of men like that. What makes them think that we even WANT them to find us attractive? If you do, thanks very much, we’re flattered. But if you don’t, why do you really need to voice this opinion...

Aurora
Like everyone else, I woke up this morning to the terrible news of the shootings in Aurora, Colorado. Like any other midnight premiere, the event was a celebration of the passion fans have for epic storytelling and fantastic worlds. It is the very same passion that fuels the imagination and makes us think about the human condition in terms of parable and metaphor.
