Hi everyone!

I started a tumblr page.  While I’m not entirely ditching my infrequently updated blog, you’ll get much much more Greeky via tumblr… and everything I post here gets automatically forwarded there.

So,  my beloved readers, update your bookmarks, google readers and RSS feeds:  http://supergreek.tumblr.com/

:)

The alternative… move to Europe, Bali, or Israel. Who’s in?

Dear Red States:

If you manage to steal this election too we’ve decided we’re leaving.
We intend to form our own country, and we’re taking the other Blue
States with us. In case you aren’t aware, that includes California,
Hawaii, Oregon, Washington, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois
and all the Northeast. We believe this split will be beneficial to the
nation, and especially to the people of the new country of New
California.

To sum up briefly:

You get Texas, Oklahoma and all the slave states.

We get stem cell research and the best beaches.

We get the Statue of Liberty.

You get Dollywood.

We get Intel and Microsoft.

You get WorldCom.

We get Harvard.

You get Ole’ Miss.

We get 85% of America’s venture capital and entrepreneurs.

You get Alabama.

We get two-thirds of the tax revenue, you get to make the red states
pay their fair share.

Since our aggregate divorce rate is 22% lower than the Christian
Coalition’s, we get a bunch of happy families.

You get a bunch of single moms.

Please be aware that Nuevo California will be pro-choice and anti-war,
and we’re going to want all our citizens back from Iraq at once. If
you need people to fight, ask your evangelicals. They have kids
they’re apparently willing to send to their deaths for no purpose, and
they don’t care if you don’t show pictures of their children’s caskets
coming home. We do wish you success in Iraq , and hope that the WMDs
turn up, but we’re not willing to spend our resources in Bush’s
Quagmire.

With the Blue States in hand, we will have firm control of 80% of the
country’s fresh water, more than 90% of the pineapple and lettuce, 92%
of the nation’s fresh fruit, 95% of America’s quality wines, 90% of
all cheese, 90% of the high tech industry, 95% of the corn and
soybeans (thanks Iowa!), most of the U.S. low-sulfur coal, all living
redwoods, sequoias and condors, all the Ivy and Seven Sister schools
plus Stanford, Cal Tech and MIT.

With the Red States, on the other hand, you will have to cope with 88%
of all obese Americans (and their projected health care costs), 92% of
all U.S. mosquitoes, nearly 100% of the tornadoes, 90% of the
hurricanes, 99% of all Southern Baptists, virtually 100% of all
televangelists, Rush Limbaugh, Bob Jones University, Clemson and the
University of Georgia.

We get Hollywood and Yosemite, thank you.

Additionally, 38% of those in the Red states believe Jonah was
actually swallowed by a whale, 62% believe life is sacred unless we’re
discussing the war, the death penalty or gun laws, 44% say that
evolution is only a theory, 53% believe that Saddam was involved in
9/11 and 61% of you crazy bastards believe you are people with higher
morals then we lefties.

Finally, we’re taking the good pot, too. You can have that dirt weed
they grow in Mexico

Peace out,

Blue States

This made me so happy.

For some reason (maybe since it’s 1am and I’m really tiiired,) I couldn’t get the embedded link to work. Que sera sera.

I think that this is amazing, really. People like this still exist.

Who Needs a Television When You’ve Got the City?

(a soprano is singing an opera aria in her apartment on the 4th floor)

Random man on street (screaming up to the window): Girl, you’re not even gonna sing the high note?! Pussy!
Soprano (screaming out the window): Everyone’s a fucking critic!

Thank you LOLCats.

but this one did… I’m in the middle of a very strange place musically and artistically right now. Tomorrow is my day off, and I’ll be doing some meditation on it tonight. With a bucket of coffee I may actually find that I’m articulate. We’ll see…

Thank you Lorraine Hunt Lieberson, for making me shed a few tears for this performance. I somehow needed to see this today.

I had a 45 minute conversation about politics with my wonderful, yet horribly fiscally conservative, W/McCain/Palin-loving mom.  Immediately afterwards, I donated money to the Obama campaign.

My parent’s right wing views are a post in and of itself. I’ll get to it another time. I love them, but they watch fox news while they wait for their dinner delivery. YEA.

This little youtube gem is from the immer-hilarious tree.

thetree (11:11:52 AM): you mean the cartoon.

I’m sorry that all I’ve been posting recently have been links on politics. My life as of late has revolved around 19th Century opera and 21st century politics. You’ll get updates on the former tomorrow, as I FINALLY have a day off. I’m preparing to sleep til around noon. Please do not call, write, send carrier pigeons or smoke signals, as I will ignore them all.

THANK YOU MATT DAMON, you beautiful brainy man, you. He really summed this up well.

i love him and want to have his babies…

Thanks for the always entertaining Tree for this one:
