Climate Aid in a Nutshell
“The vast gap between rich and poor is also reflected in the rancorous debate over climate aid. The European Union has endorsed or offered almost $11 billion over the next three years to help developing countries shift to green technologies and adapt to the inevitable impacts of climate change. Developing countries and activist groups have denounced this as a shameful pittance. They point...

1. Mr. Belvedere: Christmas Eve, I was sitting with two guys over 45 and one kid who was probably 22 (though looked like he was 17) who had no idea what I was talking about when I was trying to describe the titular British housekeeper and the father (who has been in movies and the actor’s name begins with Bob, I believe, but don’t recall his last name) of the family of this ABC sit-com of the...

What Makes a Gay Man vs. a Faggot?
GAY MEN VS. FAGGOTS
by Daniel WK Lee
Recently, I got in a lively debate with a fellow gay Twitterer regarding the difference between a gay man and a faggot. I contend(ed) that there isn’t one, that indeed, in the eyes of society and obviously in other gays, all homo guys are potentially both the villainous faggot or palatable gay. My debater, of course, saw and sees this differently. After...

danielingo Lesson of the Day: "angle"
An “angle” is a booty so well shaped, so amazing, that at no matter what angle you look it, it’s finger-lickin’ good good good! A perfect example below: Lucas Neill, 31 year-old footballer and captain of the Australia national team. Check that angle out! Coined in Chicago, IL by Mae Karas in 1995.

Healthcare Passes, But the Fight Goes On →
A really great summary by J. Lester Feder at TheNation.com of what Progressives must fight for as the House bill must be merged with the Senate’s. Not mentioned in the piece however is we must work to get Liebermann out of office, stripped of his chairmanship, and senatorial procedure reform on the filibuster. The 60 vote supermajority is legislatively prohibitive! Fight on!

1. Sarah Palin
2. Ann Coulter
“If we took away women’s right to vote, we’d never have to worry about another Democrat president. It’s kind of a pipe dream, it’s a personal fantasy of mine, but I don’t think it’s going to happen. And it is a good way of making the point that women are voting so stupidly, at least single women. It also makes the...

danielingo Lesson of the Day: "Dumb ho-ism"
A dumb ho-ism is a memorable quote or saying made by a dumb ho.
An example from Rep. Michele “Batshitcrazy” Bachmann. (R-Minnesota):
“Any of you who have members of your family that are in the lifestyle – we have a member of our family that is. This is not funny. It’s a very sad life. It’s part of Satan, I think, to say this is gay. It’s anything but gay.”

5 Critical Flaws of the Senate's Healthcare Bill
via MoveOn.org
The Senate bill would:
#1—Deny Americans the choice of a public option. In contrast, the House bill contains a national public option, the key to real competition, greater choice, and lower costs.1
#2—Leave insurance unaffordable for some lower income and working people. Both bills require virtually all Americans to buy insurance. But even with the subsidies provided, some...

1. Climate Change Imperative: The failure to produce a strong, binding accord in Copenhagen means that politically and socially, we need to make addressing climate change a central issue on all levels on government to ensure that the planet doesn’t melt and threaten the survival of human beings before we find a way to space travel and live out the story line of Battlestar Galactica (the new,...

2009 and/or the Decade in Review
I’ve asked all my contributors (or at least the folks I hope to be contributors) to give me there “Top 5’s” of 2009 or of the past decade so that I can publish one every day until the new year. The first is one I wrote after I read all 70 pages of The Green Party platform. Not all of these top 5’s will be as “serious” or “meaningful” as this...

A 'Jersey Shore' Handbook →
I haven’t even seen this show but for all the commotion, I gotta believe that it is truly “American Kabuki theater, a refreshingly solipsistic aesthetic world, a temporary coastal community that’s a bulwark against normative American youth style.”

Moral Failings at COP15 - Copenhagen
by Daniel WK Lee
Let me break this shit down: Island nations across the globe are having their countries swallowed up by the oceans, displacing entire populations to who knows where. In the meantime, poorer, developing countries are being asked to follow the most stringent carbon emissions benchmarks with paltry financial assistance from developed countries. How does say, war-ravaged Sudan,...

via AlterNet; more outrageous history twisting by Glenn Beck:
“That is a common misconception. … Do you know who wanted slaves to be counted as a full person? … Slave owners. … The reason why they wanted that is because of the balance of power.
