A Show with Ze Frank by Ze Frank →

Ze Frank posts on Kickstarter to bring his show back. Total Kickstarter-bait. Already fully funded. And yet, I’m in.

“Why did they stop the movie again?” Beatrix, asks. Thus leading to essentially the same conversation as before. She just does not understand why one would want to watch anything this way.

Or, said another way, collusion.
Good to see people are starting to take notice.

– Jacob Witte, Obama no better than Bush concerning civil liberties
This is, by far, the greatest reason I cannot support the re-election of President Obama. And it’s not like the Republican candidates have a better stance.
