While this example singles out a particular party, I find this behavior "objectionable" under any circumstances.
And the worst part is, there is no recourse that does not give political ammunition to the party who intentionally and repeatedly speaking out-of-order. If the offending congressman is silenced or removed, even if done in accordance with parliamentary procedure, they will go straight to a press conference to tell their sob story to America.
A minority party in a two-party system is rarely so small that childish behavior is their only recourse. But lefties and righties are too afraid of each other's cooties to rationally weigh their options.
Just another reminder that politics is not government.
I am earnest in this statement: no politician will in the future be supported by me whom I have witnessed engaging in this or similarly infantile behavior, unless I see their challenger has played their pool far dirtier. Though I would be more than tempted to write in "No" in cases of double-disgust.
The opposition party is far too often aptly-named. Disagreeing is one thing. But being a contrary pest for the sole reason that the other guy isn't in YOUR club is something most people get over in grade school. |

"Homophobia is like racism and anti-Semitism and other forms of bigotry in that it seeks to dehumanize a large group of people, to deny their humanity, their dignity and personhood. This sets the stage for further repression and violence that spread all too easily to victimize the next minority group."
-Coretta Scott King
Mrs. King's quote really speaks to the reasons I stand for Marriage as a basic human right.
In my opinion, to deny homosexuals marriage is to say they are less than human.
I strongly encourage everyone to remember we were deciding the fate of real people. Remember this when the call comes up again.
"The greatness of a community is most accurately measured by the compassionate actions of its members ... a heart of grace and a soul generated by love." |

| I am voting "no" on Question 1, because I have following concerns about the "yes" vote: |
[Oct. 27th, 2009|02:33 am] |
I am concerned that I have yet to even HEAR a secular argument against gay marriage, let alone a convincing one.
I am concerned that, while one could argue there are MANY challenges to traditional marriage, gay people seem to be the ONLY challenge that requires acting on.
I am concerned about the massive amount of effort and money is being misapplied; it could, instead, go to actual life-or-death concerns.
I am concerned the very idea of allowing others to marry makes your own less meaningful even exists.
I am concerned that this is an elitist and selfish decision to deny others what one takes for themselves.
I am concerned that people want to maintain the second-class status of any group of citizenry.
I am concerned that ads lie about our schools. There's nothing keeping anything from being taught in schools above and beyond the required curriculum, no matter how this vote goes.
I am concerned ads use out-of-context material (check the years), are recycled from no fewer than two other states, were widely criticized and ultimately disproven - yet are still playing.
I am concerned opponents often get hung up on sex as though that's all there is to people who are gay.
I am concerned some see this as a slippery slope that will also see bestiality, pedophilia and polygamy (again with the sex!? Seriously) legalized.
I am concerned that people desire to discriminate.
I am concerned that the church has such a sense of ownership of a word that they will deny human beings medical, familial and inheritance rights to protect religious semantics.
I am concerned Gays are being used as the replacement for ____________________.
*Choose one: Immigrants, Native Americans, Black people, Women, Poles, “the Irish,” Railroad worker, The poor, Arabs, Mentally Ill, Jews, pagans, D&D players, Witches, Commies, Rock and Roll Music... anybody I left out?
I am concerned that straight couples with civil unions end up with the rights of the married anyway, but gay couples are excluded. |

Dear Michael Bay,
What it entirely necessary to introduce FOUR new comedy relief characters and keep them with the main plot all the time, and to give three seconds of screen time to all the other new and old Autobots (save for Optimus and Bumblebee)?
Seriously. I'd blame the writers, but I know they know better. This smacks of "executive decision." |

This entry brought to you by the Video Games app on Facebook.
Playing video games has been a long-standing hobby of mine (thank goodness for my health I also like hiking). One of the problems I have been having since I first went to college some eight years ago is finding the time. Though I more throughly enjoyed meeting new friends and being involved in a constant string of hanging out and going on adventures with them, I'd always make a little me-time to play a bit. As the obvious consequence of shifting priorities, I ended up with a horrific backlog, much like my reading list.
There are, of course, two backlogs. The first is of games I own that I have merely tried and intend to give a proper playthrough one of these days, and the other backlog is of games I have invested time in, but have left unfinished. It became easy for me to keep track of them with the advent of Facebook apps. Like the Books app, Video Games allows me to list my collection into four categories: "currently playing," "to play," "finished playing" and "favorites."
Flash forward to today when I have been outside of college two years, my ability to buy new games for the backlog is minimal and I have all my time back due to being underemployed and spending more time living in exile than going out to visit people. In this time I have started and plowed through many new games (namely for the DS and PSP) but I have also gone back and managed to pick off a few stragglers.
One such game was Final Fantasy XII. It was my game of choice the last year I was in college, and I somehow managed to sneak in over 100 hours of play that year. I'm a completeist when it comes to games; I like to do everything there is to do before I set it down. As I've grown the past few years, I have eased up on that tendency when it seems reasonable: in Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, I beat the game missing two heart containers, a minute of sand, a trio of treasure maps, the prizes for the arrow minigame, and half of the zillion different ship parts. I was okay with that. But in FF XII, I had left behind two espers, three marks, the Hell Wyrm, Yizmat, and Omega XII. I also didn't even enter the final dungeon until six months later when I went back just to see the ending before I forgot the plot.
So as of this month, I'm back at the grind. The marks and an esper have been taken down, the key to the Hell Wyrm obtained, and it seems only a week or so separates me from having killed the lot of bonus challenges and starting one of the few DS games I have yet to even play: Revenant Wings. I told myself I would not start the sequel until I have properly finished the original. This will probably mean trouble whenever I want to get around to playing X-2 after all the ultimate weapons and arena monsters I've left to rust in Final Fantasy X. Perhaps next summer.
It feels good to get back in the saddle of an old game. I find I remember quite well how to play even after all this time. I always worry if a game would still be fun out-of-context and after so long, if it's even relevant to clean up the leftovers. For some games on my list, there is little drive to finish and I consider them done. Going through the backlog list, I encountered Rebel Strike, where I had not unlocked the final bonus stage involving naught but trying to survive 100 waves of enemies as a challenge. When I discovered this was all there was left to the game, I promptly shifted it from the "currently playing" to "finished playing."
When I first started using the app not long after leaving college, my "currently playing" list was easily the longest of them all. The "to play" list developed a nasty habit of getting longer after I enrolled in Gamefly (highly recommended, by the way). After the first year of steady grinding, I accomplished a feat that did not seem possible, my "finished" and "favorite" lists were longer then my "to play" and "currently playing lists." And thanks to my recent war on "currently playing" over the "to play" list, the completion of Final Fantasy XII will leave but 12 games remaining in it. And soon, too, the rest will become complete.
How epic have your backlogs become? How often do you like extra business unfinished after beating a game? How often to you get to the end and stop even before getting the ending? (I'm looking at you, Xenogears) And what do you plan to do about it? |

• If I drank a half-gallon of skim milk every day (cost $2/day if you buy 7 one-gallon jugs in a fortnight), it would cover my ideal 60g of protein, while only using up 104g of carbohydrates (below my daily minimum of 130g) and 720 calories with no fat whatsoever.
• I herby propose the "milk diet." If you like milk, and more importantly, your digestive system likes milk, eliminate meat, down a half-gallon of skim (mixing in a packet or two of instant breakfast to have it double as a multivitamin) and then have some fruit, vegetables or carbs whenever your stomach is growling.
• Apple added built-in SD card slots to their new laptops (about time). But they also did something interesting: make SD cards bootable volumes. Considering the cards are cheeper in the 1-4 GB range and are available in sizes upwards of 32 GB, I can imagine the average mac-user might get some heavy use out of the new toy.
• Geneon (anime publisher spun off of Pioneer) closed over a year ago, taking with it several anime's I was waiting until graduating college and getting a real job to buy. Though not as dire, it reminds me of what I said about the World Trade Center (specifically) when I passed on a class trip to New York in spring 2001, "It'll still be there."
• A news report about the Dem's new healthcare reform plan made it sound like insurance would be compulsory for every citizen in the country, much like Massachusetts currently requires. I have written to Snowe, Collins and Michaud that this provision, if there, should be gutted, else the bill ought to be voted down or sent back to committee. People like me with a high debt-to-income ratio and low pay, living paycheck-to-paycheck cannot afford to spend money on a forced insurance plan without failing to meet some other bill(s). And what plans we COULD afford would have uselessly high deductibles or copays. (Before you try to offer advice on specail low-inome health care programs, let me remind you that I'm a dude, unmarried, older than 13, older than 18 and older than 24. I will also be older than 25 tomorrow; happy birthday, me!)
• In a similar vein, I like the idea that insurance companies are greedy bastards who do their utmost to not pay out (well, it's true), but to a certain extent it is necessary to do so in order to stay solvent. I worry that the provision in the health care reform to force insurers to cover pre-existing ailments might prove as foolhardy as requiring banks to give mortgages to people who couldn't pay them back (though the sub-prime offerings with jack-in-the-box rate increases were clearly the banks own damn fault.
In other news, I am taking classes at CMCC in the fall. Seeing as my journalism/graphic design chops are up to date, but my computer expertise hasn't made a fresh appearance on my resume in 2.5 years, I ought to keep it current. I'll likely use the opportunity to put the freeze on my current loan payments, and put the money I'd normally be shelling out away for a new "life" savings. |

You know, something's been bugging me about the end of Star Wars.
That big ceremony where Luke, Han and Chewbacca get medals?
If you watch the part right before the death star blows, you see that only three other pilots survived the battle (Wedge and the lucky bastards in the Y-wing). But those people don't get metals. They watch from the audience. Six people walked away from that battle, and only 3 of them are honored.
Those three pilots were in the battle from beginning to end. Han and Chewie were only involved for a minute. Wedge sat there in the trench as Darth-freaking-Vader pelted him with shots just so Luke would have a chance at firing his torpedo. No metals for meatshields, apparently.
Imagine if you barely survived the battle, all your fellow pilots and friends, were dead, and two civilians show up at the very end of the fight, shoot down a single TIE fighter, and they get a big how-da-doo and you get to stand there and smile for them. |

Appeals Court Says RIAA Hearing Can't Be Streamed
"The US Court of Appeals for the First Circuit has overturned a lower court order permitting webcast of an oral argument in an RIAA case, SONY BMG Music Entertainment v. Tenenbaum, in Boston. As one commentator put it, the decision gives the RIAA permission to 'cower behind the same legal system they're using to pillory innocent people.' Ironically, the appeals court's own hearing had been webcast, via an mp3 file. The court admitted that this was not an appropriate case for a 'prerogative writ' of 'mandamus,' but claimed to have authority to issue a writ of 'advisory mandamus.' The opinion came as a bit of a surprise to me because the judges appeared, during the oral argument, to have a handle on the issues. The decision gave me no such impression. From where I sit, the decision was wrong in a number of respects, among them: (a) it contradicted the plain wording of the district court rule, (b) it ignored the First Amendment implications, and (c) there is no such thing as 'advisory' mandamus or 'advisory' anything — our federal courts are specifically precluded from giving advisory opinions."

A highlight which is surprisingly unrepresentative of the article:
"In 1973, the average age for women to get married was 23, and for men, 25. By 2003, the average age for both rose about five years, a significant change that reflects both marriage-free cohabitation and purposefully delaying serious commitment. It also means that twentysomethings are increasingly going it alone in their financial lives, where they would historically be building assets and houses and portfolios alongside their partner. Women, especially, are buying homes on their own. It also means that loneliness and isolation are far more likely, particularly when being separated from the close friendships that make up university life happens without a family or back-up community in place." |

Not for the deals, but for the product descriptions:
THOSE POOR, POOR, STUPID HIPPIES
Buyers log, February 2009. What if they gave a war and nobody came? Now we know the answer. Today the vortex dropped us in an alternate universe where the Summer of Love never ended. There was no Altamont, no Reagan Revolution, no 80’s Yuppie Economic boom. There was just a slow, smooth transition to so-called “peace enforcement units”. Units armed with the seemingly innocent Idea Village Marshmallow Popper.
Designed to shoot mini marshmallows (or the included non-edible green pellets), the Idea Village Marshmallow Popper was the first step to making war seem foolish and fun. The plan was to make people enjoy conflict, like a game, and turn feuds into a playful sport. But in the dangerous Cold War climate, any item could be seen as a weapon, and any gap could be seen as a sign of weakness.
It was 1968 when the Soviets sent the first wave of chocolate bunnies into Afghanistan. The world trembled together.
Acting on special executive order, a crack team of commandos were assembled and armed with Idea Village Marshmallow Poppers. Able to shoot up to twenty five feet away and holding up to twenty mini marshmallows (or the included non-edible green pellets) the Idea Village Marshmallow Poppers helped the commando unit take the chocolate bunny convoy with no losses. But too late, they discovered it was all a trap.
When the Pentagon heard that their commando unit had been taken prisoner, along with the Idea Village Marshmallow Popper technology that formed the backbone of our national defense, it was only a matter of time before war was declared. The nation rallied behind its leaders, rationing caramel and nougat in order to meet production quotas. Fresh baked cookie tanks rolled off the line each and every day, and the aerodynamic ice cream sandwich pilots did their part to command the skies.
It was too much for the Soviets, though. In one final, desperate action, the Premier authorized the launch of thousands of megatons of Red Hots. Even the Idea Village Marshmallow Popper Primary Strike Force was unable to stop them in time. The entire planet was rendered terribly spicy, and survivors were left as nothing but savage brutes with bright red tongues, wandering helplessly in search of a glass of water. A glass of water that they would never find.
From this empty world, I return with the Idea Village Marshmallow Popper. All I ask is that here, in our world, it never fall into the hands of any children under eight years of age… lest the cycle begin anew.
Warranty: 90 Day Idea Village
Features:
Pump action marshmallow shooter
Use the included green non-edible foam pellets or mini marshmallows as ammo
Holds 20 marshmallows for rapid fire action
Shoots marshmallows up to 25 feet
Makes an explosive popping noise when the marshmallow exits the popper barrel
In the box:
Marshmallow Popper
20 Green Non-Edible Foam Pellets
Not for children under 8 years of age |

| Boxed Water is Better? |
[Mar. 25th, 2009|08:54 pm] |
http://i.gizmodo.com/5184197/boxed-water-its-whats-for-drinking
"Boxed milk and juices are a supermarket staple, but one company is now selling boxed water.
"Boxed Water Is Better sells water in cartons, ditching the plastic bottles while reducing the overall carbon footprint of packing and distribution by 80%.
"20% of the company's profits are passed along to reforestation (10%) and water relief (10%) while you sip on the sweet hydrogen/oxygen nectar of Minnesota and a few parts per billion of paper pulp.
"But while Boxed Water is undoubtedly more sustainable than bottled water, I can't help but think the product's absurdity does less to open a new market than close an old one. In other words, Boxed Water is a ridiculous solution to an even more ridiculous problem—that we'd rather buy packaged water than drink it for nearly free out of the tap." |

What? Nintendo forgetting the hardcore thanks to Wii Sports/Play/Fit/Music and it's ilk?
Nintendo is not your own personal game developer. They will spend their time and resources making new properties as they see fit. You say Wii Music was all development time and money that could have been spent on Mario Galaxy 2? This is akin to Flash fanboys bitching that DC is doing a Green Arrow comic book instead of a second Flash series.
You go to IGN and 1up and Gamespot and find an amazing number of people who agree with you? Are you forgetting that nerds are only (and ever only were) a segment of the video game industry. There are silent masses unrepresented by internet message boards because only "certain people" bother with them. It's really not much more that a circle-jerk of a wankfest.
And what is "hardcore" as applied to Nintendo? Were they EVER Xbox-style hardcore? How can they abandon what they never had? The only hardcore Nintendo does is their own "Nintendo Hardcore..." those AAA action titles you all so enjoy. Mario. Zelda. Metroid. Star Fox. Mario Kart. Smash Bros.
You can't say it's Nintendo's fault for 3rd parties not porting EVERY SINGLE "hardcore" title in their library. It's not like it never happens (Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, Resident Evil, Dead Rising, and so on) or that the Wii isn't getting brand new M-title exclusives (No More Heroes, MadWorld, and so on).
If you're looking for a Nintendo take on Halo, you're stupid. But you also dismissed Pikmin because of it's flowery looks and never bothering discovering it is a unique and challenging real-time strategy game. But I suppose a RTS without tanks or spaceships is hard to discern looking at screenshots.
People complain about a greater variety of genres, and a larger quantity of shovelware existing on the DS and Wii, and forgetting that the big Nintendo titles were ALWAYS hard to come by. As an absolute value "hardcore" Nintendo games are not dwindling, but the other sorts of games are merely proliferating at a faster rate. Just because it's not an action game doesn't mean it's not hardcore. the DS resurgence of the adventure genre can teach you just how amazing and challenging a mere point and click dynamic cane be care of Sierra and LucasArts. If you think it's easy to die in Ninja Gaiden sigma, you ain't never gone through Space Quest.
Mario has never seen as many releases as he got on the NES. Zelda and Metroid each only had one release on the SNES and I didn't hear people saying Nintnedo was abandoning them then. Do you like Smash Brothers and Mario Kart? Too bad, they have never seen a sequel on the same piece of hardware. SNES: 1 version. N64: 1 version. GBA: 1 version. Game Cube: 1 version. DS: 1 version. Wii: 1 version. If you want a new Mario Kart, you won't see it until the DSiBoy2 or the Nintendo 512 comes out.
In short, they have ALWAYS forgotten the "hardcore (Nintendo) gamers." This isn't new. Making more casual games isn't new either-- or do you forget Animal Crossing debuted on the 64? Or that they followed up Mario 64 with 3 iterations of Mario Party? And that was 11 years ago. So saying Nintendo is going to be sorry for "abandoning the hardcore" five years from now isn't even half the time they've already been doing it.
And all those awesome third party games that were so great on the NES and SNES that you can't find anymore? They're right under your nose on a Nintendo system. You just can't find them because you're too good for 2-D or handhelds. Mega Man, Castlevania, Final Fantasy and more of the franchises that made Nintendo in the 8- and 16-bit eras are alive and well on the DS. So sorry you can't play them on a 72-inch HDTV with 7.1 surround sound.
Wake up. The sky isn't falling. Quit yer bitching. Nothing's changed. |

| Jobless hit with bank fees on benefits |
[Feb. 19th, 2009|10:33 pm] |
First, Arthur Santa-Maria called Bank of America to ask how to check the balance of his new unemployment benefits debit card. The bank charged him 50 cents.
He chose not to complain. That would have cost another 50 cents.
So he took out some of the money and then decided to pull out the rest. But that made two withdrawals on the same day, and that was $1.50.
For hundreds of thousands of workers losing their jobs during the recession, there's a new twist to their financial pain: Even when they're collecting unemployment benefits, they're paying the bank just to get the money — or even to call customer service to complain about it.
Thirty states have struck such deals with banks that include Citigroup Inc., Bank of America Corp., JP Morgan Chase and US Bancorp, an Associated Press review of the agreements found. All the programs carry fees, and in several states the unemployed have no choice but to use the debit cards. Some banks even charge overdraft fees of up to $20 — even though they could decline charges for more than what's on the card.

| 10 Ways Microsoft's Retail Stores Will Differ From Apple Stores |
[Feb. 13th, 2009|10:12 pm] |
Brennon Slattery, PC World
Feb 13, 2009 10:20 am
Microsoft announced plans to open retail stores, hoping to boost visibility of many of its products and its brand. The move seems to be an effort to mimic the success that Apple has had with its retail stores. The news is just too tempting not to have some fun with. So here are some yet-to-be-officially-revealed details about the Microsoft stores.
1) Instead of Apple's sheer walls of glass, Microsoft's stores will have brushed steel walls dotted with holes -- reminiscent of Windows security.
2) The store will have six different entrances: Starter, Basic, Premium, Professional, Enterprise, and Ultimate. While all six doors will lead into the same store, the Ultimate door requires a fee of $100 for no apparent reason.
3) Instead of a "Genius Bar" (as Apple provides) Microsoft will offer an Excuse Bar. It will be staffed by Microsofties trained in the art of evading questions, directing you to complicated and obscure fixes, and explaining it's a problem with the hardware -- not a software bug.
4) The Windows Genuine Advantage team will run storefront security, assuming everybody is a thief until they can prove otherwise.
5) Store hours are undetermined. At any given time the store mysteriously shuts down instantaneously for no apparent reason. (No word yet on what happens to customers inside).
6) Stores will be named Microsoft Live Retail Store with PC Services for Digital Lifestyle Enthusiasts.
7) Fashioned after Microsoft's User Account Control (UAC) in Vista, sales personnel will ask you whether you're positive you want to purchase something at least twice.
8) Xbox 360 section of the store will be organized in a ring -- which will inexplicably go red occasionally.
9) DreamWorks will design a scary in-store theme park ride called "blue screen of death."
10) Store emergency exits will be unlocked at all times so people can get in anytime they want even if the front doors are locked. |
