"People are losing their homes, their jobs, their health, their investments, their retirement security; yet there is unlimited money for war, Wall Street and insurance companies, but very little money for jobs on Main Street. Unlimited money to blow up things in Iraq and Afghanistan, and relatively little money to build things in the US. The Administration may soon bring to Congress a request for an additional $50 billion for war. I can tell you that a Democratic version of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan is no more acceptable than a Republican version of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Trillions for war and Wall Street, billions for insurance companies… When we were promised change, we weren’t thinking that we give a dollar and get back two cents."

Dennis Kucinich (via afghanibanani) (via opparaics) (via robot-heart-politics)

I used to rag Dennis Kucinich, but he’s been making a lot of sense lately…

putthison: An Open Letter to the Half-Zip Sweater Dear half-zip sweater, What are you?  What are you for? In conclusion, go away. Sincerely, Jesse Thorn Put This On Boo. The half-zip has a very worthwhile place in any wardrobe. And the example you cite is excellent. The high collar and the great fit make the half-zip a perfect blend of the cardigan and the traditional v-neck. Half-zip, I love you.

Half-zip, I love you.

"They’re willing to pass on anything they hear without regard to reliability — to the point where I automatically and studiously ignore the first day or so of news coverage on these events because, given how these things are “reported,” it’s simply impossible to know what is true and what isn’t. In fact, following initial media coverage on these stories is more likely to leave one misled and confused than informed."

Glenn Greenwald, taking the words right out of my mouth.
