No Justice - No Peace

When Nike's ethics match its marketing plan?

Of Woman Born (1977)
I know of no woman—virgin, mother, lesbian, married, celibate—whether she earns her keep as a housewife, a cocktail waitress, or a scanner of brain waves— for whom the body is not a fundamental problem: its clouded meanings, its fertility, its desire, its so-called frigidity, its bloody speech, its silences, its changes and mutilations, its rapes and ripenings.

The Party of No[Nothing]

When your only stars are two hot babes, Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann, with the collective judgment of a hominid fossil between them, you know you're going nowhere fast.

The Party of No: No Ideas, No I.Q, No Future.

Simple Sarah Says

"It's kind of like getting out there on a playground, a bunch of kids, getting ready to fight, and one of the kids saying, 'Go ahead, punch me in the face and I'm not going to retaliate. Go ahead and do what you want to with me.'” And with these words, Former Alaska Governor, and likely presidential candidate, Sarah Palin outlined her juvenile view of our strategic arms policy. Palin’s Manichean vision reflects her belief that there are no existential doubts, no ontological questions incapable of being expressed in childish metaphors or ten second sound bites. Her enthusiastic support comes primarily from an assortment of frenetic but essentially harmless conspiracy theorists, anti-taxers, birthers, and anti-vaccinationist oddballs, with a scattering of violence-prone bullies espousing every social deviancy from civil insurrection to racial segregation, that comprise today’s Tea Party movement. Sarah’s seductive delivery is purposely crafted for an audience that’s grown too lazy for thought and too fearful of honest reflection.

Sarah’s appeal to every crass, injudicious, and violent element of the American psyche may have elevated her from the mediocrity of a small-town politico to the vainglorious world of a media superstar but her conspicuous lack of intellectual curiosity coupled with the shallowness of her ideas will forever link Sarah to the amoral and selfish id of our collective consciousness.

Who would have guessed that it's the old white guy living at Number One Observatory Circle who may next embarrass us with a big MO-FO on national TV?
