Sex Scandal blah blah blah
Category: politics
Oh man,

I am so behind on my regurgitating of sex scandals. Ya, it is always hilarious to find out that a hypocritical Republican was doing the nasty with a prostitute in a nappy, or an anti-gay senator was getting his chum bucket dredged by an escort. The democrats' sex scandals are boring. So some staffer wanted a 3-way with a 13 year old boy. Just because you make copies and phone calls for someone doesn't mean you are all in some unholy pedophile cabal. Only hypothetical pedophilia can be funny, but only rarely. Actual pedophilia is just deeply saddening.

The Rudy billing the city of New York for hotels and transportation for his mistress and her family is a fine story. The names are great: shag-gate and my favorite 69-11. But fraud doesn't get me going.

So I dug up an old friend. As more and more men are making it public that they have had sex with disgraced Senator Larry Craig (including Mike Jones, the man who regularly blew Ted Haggard) I thought of the first such story I read a few months ago. It is shows the level of class Craig operates with. I will give you the highlights, but you can read the whole thing (and it is short) here.

Here is the man Craig boinked

and here is the unsavory money quote from the linked article

"When we got to what reminded me of a rarely used guest room, he stripped me down, and the man's hands and mouth were all over me. He kept his pants on, though, while laying me back on the bed to suck my cock. Then, he stripped naked and asked me to suck him. I complied for a while, then he disappeared and returned with lube and a condom to fuck me me with. It was a clumsy and unremarkable fuck, except that I wasn't clean and he was frantic about not getting my shit on anything. Still, he blew his load, ripped the dirty condom off and ordered me to get dressed without wiping myself. He hurried me to the back door, again ranting, 'You were never here. You don't know me. Right?'"



If only he threw a $20 at the man on his way out.

tell me, would this country not benefit from a nation wide pan-sexual orgy?
jason - 12/04/07 14:50
Ugh, you know what, I retract my last crack - I agree that pedo is not funny.
jason - 12/04/07 14:43
Aw, shucks, c'mon man - what's wrong with a little pedo every now and then?

Signed,

Holy crap
Category: school
It is the end of the semester and I have a ridiculous amount of work to do. I need to pump out two essays tonight (one on a book I didn't read) and write a 20 page research paper by next Thursday. In between I have three final exams I need to study for and then the day after my research paper is due I have a teacher's certification exam that will decide my fate.

GHAAAA!!!!


Well, at least my boss has left me alone for the day with leftover Indian food. Yummy, yummy.
james - 12/03/07 21:14
I organize at the end of the semester by throwing everything on my desk out except my school notebooks. I have about 20 old notebooks with half the pages ripped out. There are half-written short stories or poems in them that I keep telling myself I will finish writing someday.

But I have had a generous glass of wine!
mike - 12/03/07 20:39
when faced with so much work it is time to a) clean/organize everything you own and b) get drunk. Thats what i say!
james - 12/03/07 16:16
a history of immigrants from India in Queens... it is a real page turner. She spent 20 pages talking about different culinary differences between carious Indians and I gave up ten pages into a discussion on variations of the Sari.

It was almost enough to delete all my Ravi Shankur songs off iTunes.

So what is the book you didn't read?

Ron is Right
Category: politics
Hey there estripper,

Are you tired of people telling you how awesome Ron Paul is? Sick of having to defend your politician of choice against the flawless glory that is web-candidate Ron Paul?

Wish there was a way to get them back?

WELL NOW YOU CAN!!!

Just send that Ronnite over to Ron is Right.com where they will be greeted with an open letter telling them 1) You get it already 2) Please leave me alone.

And what would make a most delicious icing on the cake? How about the most 80's tastic, easy listening garbage music video ever!



thank you RonIsRight.com!

mrdeadlier - 12/03/07 16:12
Ok I have to admit, that was pretty funny. I especially liked the "the rest of the internet" closing.

It Pays to Procrastinate
Category: school
Hi,


So, I am taking two graduate history classes this semester. One of them is on US immigration. 1/3 of my grade is based on my participation in a debate on immigration policy and an attending paper defending my position. I should have been working on this since the beginning of the month, but school and I don't roll like that.

So, three days before it is due I start to take a huge crack at it. Unsure about the written component I email the professor who tells me she forgot about it entirly so it is being dropped. Sweet!

The book I am to base this on has two different arguments 1) immigrants are both positive and negative but the net effect is slightly good. 2) immigrants are both positive and negative but the net effect is slightly bad. It isn't material that takes your breath away, so I am ignoring it.

But what do I see when reading my favorite blog on New York state politics? but a report from the Fiscal Policy Institure which says that immigrants bring $299 BILLION dollars in output to the state, about 30% of total output. It is full of wonderful little positive things from there on. Which diffuses the negative portion of both arguments, both cultural and economic. You can read it here.

I am so going to get an A with minimal work. I think this calls for a celebratory drink tonight. Nothing light a slight hang over to mask your smug sense of superiority!

Inspired by this post I will put off reading my lab till tomorrow morning :)
james - 11/26/07 16:26
Jason: it is very dull actually. The scope of the argument is on legal immigration. But will invariably descend into illegal immigration.

What I will argue is that they have a positive economic impact (thank you Fiscal Policy Institute). But what I think needs to be mentioned is the positive cultural and social impact. Multiple ethnicities in a society leading to a diversifying of that societies culture in the face of racism and nativism.

Basically, I want to paint the Nativists of the past as knuckleheads who had no idea what they were talking about to make the Nativists in my class look like doo-doo heads.

If anyone tries to bring faith into it, I've got your back. The Bible is incredibly pro-immigrant, unlike many evangelical voters.
jason - 11/26/07 16:08
There is a part of me that is curious about what your argument is (strictly economic?)
james - 11/26/07 15:58
Mike: That is why I am in the social sciences, it is the very stuff of bull shit.

Jason: oh ya! There is a ton! The report lists a bunch of them. It just made my life easier because now I have page after page of statistics to back it up rather than saying "I read once in some report or another".
jason - 11/26/07 15:53
There are a ton of positives to (legal) immigration, other than contribution to the economy.
mike - 11/26/07 15:08
oh procrastination, I love it! Unfortunately it is the only style I know and it doesn't seem to be working quite as well in organic chemistry! I just can't learn it all over night like I could whip out a semester long paper the night before or something for sociology or communications! grr

Family Gathering
I have been at my folks house since Wednesday evening.

I have so much work to do this evening and I haven't had a chance to do much more than read 30 out of 300 pages of a book I need to have a debate about on Tuesday for 30% of my grade.

Living six hours away from family is nice, they seldom bug you and understand when you can't be there every other weekend.

Living six hours away also means you have no opportunity to escape. My old bedroom has been converted into a den of sorts, with my kid brother playing Halo in most of the day. No escape, no escape.

But, when I leave tomorrow and can finally breath my own air I will be glad to have come.

But until then I am going to wish I had a sodering iron to eat.

Hope your holiday is going well.

Even though we are in different situations it seems that there is one that we both share and that is having a break makes work more intense and a lot more of it. Last week everyone had to sort of do 5 days work in 3 days. Then some people where going to work today to kinda get caught up and start next weeks work, we get busy at the end of the month so the combo of the holiday then end of month is a tough one.
