This is the best idea for a group ever! I'll have to hook my roommate up with it so she can post her tattoos, too!
I got my fourth tattoo yesterday on a whim1 when my roommate asked me at brunch if I wanted to go to the tattoo parlor. Of course I did!
Got this done at Empire Tattoos in Upland, California. It took a WHOPPING 90 SECONDS to finish2, and I love it dearly, dearly, dearly.
I don't know if you all heard about David Foster Wallace's suicide on September 12th, and if you did, I'm sure you heard about how he was a professor of English and Creative Writing at Pomona College.
I had the pleasure of having him for a professor last year, the last year he taught, for Creative Writing. On a year to the day of his death, I was in his class, where my piece was being workshopped. I got it back the next day with this lovely note at the top.
( DFW drew me a happy face! )

| Hustler's Palin pr0n: "Hillary" cast, script leaked |
[06 Oct 2008|03:07am] |
I swear, Larry Flynt must be reading my mind, because he made the casting call that I've been recommending since all the way back in the primary season:
TMZ - Nina Puts the Rod in Rodham
Sarah Palin ain't the only woman in D.C. who's getting her own porn-alike.
We've learned veteran adult film star Nina Hartley has been cast as Hillary Clinton in Hustler's parody porno, "Nailin' Paylin."
Hil is often chided for having a stick up her ass. Nina Hartley, on the other hand ...
For those of you who aren't familiar with her *ahem* body of work, Nina Hartley is teh most awesumest pr0n star evar.
A 49-year-old sex-positive feminist who started stripping in 1982 and started doing porn films in 1984, she's made 753 porn films, many of them as both an actress and a director, and in recent years, she's become both a sex educator and the reigning queen of MILF porn. Not only has she remained one of the most beautiful women, and one of the most outspoken progressive activists, in the porn industry, but she's also got a brain to rival that of fellow porn performer and certified MENSA member Asia Carrera.
She is, in short, Made Of Win, and I love her with both my mind AND my wiener.
But will we be able to say the same of this movie?
If its script is anything to go by, you all can judge for yourselves:
( WARNING: NSFW because ... well, because it's a script excerpt from a PORN film, dumbasses: )

Conservatives question McCain's attack strategy
SOURCE
With a month to go and the poll numbers down, the McCain campaign is playing the guilt by association card, and that's leaving some conservatives uneasy.
On Saturday, the recently unsequestered and newly empowered Sarah Palin went on the offensive, toting the “gloves are off” line and then rolled out the sound bite the McCain campaign knew would get a lot of ink pixels:
“Our opponent … is someone who sees America it seems as being so imperfect that he's palling around with terrorists who would target their own country,” she said to a boisterous crowd in California.

Judgement claim In a new internet video being e-mailed to supporters, the Obama campaign launched its own attack on Mr McCain over his connections to tycoon Charles Keating, who was convicted of securities fraud after his savings and loan scheme collapsed. Mr McCain was one of five senators - known as the Keating Five - to be investigated by a Senate ethics panel over their intervention with banking regulators on behalf of Keating. He was found to be less involved with Keating than the other senators but was criticised for "poor judgement". Mr McCain has himself described the affair as "the worst mistake of my life", and one which led him to sponsor legislation on campaign finance reform. In an email to supporters, Obama campaign manager David Plouffe said: "The McCain campaign has tried to avoid talking about the scandal, but with so many parallels to the current crisis, McCain's Keating history is relevant and voters deserve to know the facts - and see for themselves the pattern of poor judgement by John McCain.'' The Obama campaign has set up a special website where viewers can see the short internet video and a 13-minute documentary on Mr McCain's involvement in the Keating scandal.

The New Republic: It's Over: Why Bill Ayers Won't Save John McCain
Perpetually fretting Democrats will not want to accept it. The campaigns themselves can't afford to believe it. Many journalists know it but can't say it. And there will certainly be some twists and turns along the way. But take it to a well capitalized bank: Bill Ayers isn't going to save John McCain. The race is over.
John McCain's candidacy is as much a casualty of Wall Street as Lehman or Merrill. Like those once vibrant institutions, McCain's collapse was stunning and quick. One minute you are a well-respected brand. The next you are yelling at the messengers of your demise as all around you the numbers start blinking red and stop adding up.
McCain's road was difficult to begin with: the President of his party has had record-low approval ratings for two years and the number of Americans who say the country is heading in the wrong direction is stratospheric. He also had the misfortune to be pitted against an exceptional candidate running an extremely well-executed campaign.( Read more...about it! )

Sarah Palin is taking a bigger beating because she's a Republican womanSunday, October 5th 2008, 9:54 AM  Sarah Palin holds baby Trig following Thursday night's vice presidential debate. After the vice presidential debate ended, as the TV jurors started delivering their verdicts, Sarah Palin and Joe Biden were joined on stage by their families. Nothing unusual there - except the history-making picture of Palin hugging her 5-month-old son while sharing chitchat with Biden. Freeze the frame and savor its remarkable collection of milestones. They start with the fact that Palin is only the second woman to be on a major-party national ticket. She is the first who would take office as the mother of five children, the oldest being 19.

| One of the most unusual birds alive |
[06 Oct 2008|12:51am] |
I never thought I would actually have anything to post here that hasn't been done before, but after a recent trip to New Zealand, I found out all sorts of cool stuff about their bird life. There have been posts about the extinct giants, the Moa and the Haasts Eagle, but none about the plethora of current incredible birds. My personal favorite: The Kiwi Bird.
