Religious Warfare: September 2009
http://religiouswarfare2009.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
And why god needs to stay out of it. Saturday, September 26, 2009. My vist to the Scientology Celebrity Center. Over the summer, my friend and I planned to see a comedy show at the UCB theater on Franklin Ave in Los Angeles. However, we had about an hour to kill so we started walking around and noticed that directly across the street was the Scientology Celebrity Center. We walked inside and it was magnificent and huge; it looked like an upscale, royal hotel. More than a system of belief, Scientology is ...

Critical Condition | Muckrakeable
https://muckrakeable.wordpress.com/2009/10/03/weekly-public-square-post
Just another WordPress.com weblog. Is the newspaper dead? October 3, 2009. What, exactly, does it mean to be “in critical condition”? According to the infallible Wikipedia. It’s used to describe patients in whom “[v]ital signs are unstable and not within normal limits. Patient may be unconscious. Indicators are unfavorable.”. This, as well as the alliterative qualities of the phrase, mean it’s as good a term as any to describe the current state of health care in America. Various news sources have made cr...

Countlessly Counting Calories | Irrationale
https://irrationale.wordpress.com/2009/11/14/countlessly-counting-calories
Looking for logic in an irrational world. On July 19, 2008, New York City took the first great leap toward informed eating. Restaurants with fifteen or more locations would be required to visibly post the caloric content of all regular menu items. This was it. This was the silver bullet, heralded by health advocates as a means of slimming our waists, eating our vegetables, and generally saving Americans from fast food and themselves. The result, it seems, is that a good idea will lose traction thanks to ...

Curbing America’s Insatiable Appetite | Irrationale
https://irrationale.wordpress.com/2009/10/10/curbing-americas-insatiable-appetite
Looking for logic in an irrational world. Curbing America’s Insatiable Appetite. As the health care debate rages on in Congress, with members trying to find some semblance of compromise to bring affordable insurance to a majority of Americans, the elephant in the room, the unasked question, is how did we get here? Not how did we reach a point where so many Americans are without health insurance per se, but rather how did we arrive at a time when so many Americans. The concept that prompted this discussio...

The Uphill Battle for Food Reform | Irrationale
https://irrationale.wordpress.com/2009/11/08/the-uphill-battle-for-food-reform
Looking for logic in an irrational world. The Uphill Battle for Food Reform. As I’ve written before. So many of the hot problems today can draw their roots back to a dysfunctional food culture–climate change, energy independence, and most importantly health issues and reform. Combating the problem, though, seems like an impossible battle for a few reasons. That the recent rumblings of a soda tax have kicked the food lobby into overdrive. They note:. And Emanuel laid out some of the hurdles on the horizon...

Questioning the Minimum Wage | Irrationale
https://irrationale.wordpress.com/2009/10/24/questioning-the-minimum-wage
Looking for logic in an irrational world. Questioning the Minimum Wage. The Obama administration, looking for any means of healing the economy, has clearly overlooked the harms of a minimum wage. Now many proponents of the minimum wage say that if it hurts anyone (which, of course, it doesn’t), the burden falls only on teenagers. After all, who else is working the part-time, fast food counter jobs apart from teens? Laquo; Curbing America’s Insatiable Appetite. Date : October 24, 2009. Really insightful&#...

Just another WordPress.com weblog. Newer posts →. October 9, 2009. So, if you’ve spent this morning under a rock, Barack Obama just became the fourth American to win the Nobel Peace Prize. Earning the honor for “his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples. The Committee has attached special importance to Obama’s vision of and work for a world without nuclear weapons.”. Folks across the right-wing ideological spetrum, of course, immediately celebrated by.

The Deviant Press: 9/13/09 - 9/20/09
http://thedeviantpress.blogspot.com/2009_09_13_archive.html
A fresh perspective on all things rant-worthy. September 19, 2009. Everyone needs to think before they speak. In the last three weeks there’s been a series of stupid things blurted out in public by various prominent Americans. First, Joe Wilson yells “you lie” at President Obama during a joint session of Congress. Ridiculous, I know. Isn’t there some sort of procedure to verbally assault the president of The United States of America on live television? Your better than that! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Pigs in a Barrel. Quintessential: Pasta, Palace of Fine Arts, and One Gay →. April 25, 2010 · 12:52 AM. The Los Angeles Times Festival of Books: Eggers’ Staggering Genius and Little Women’s Stupefying Acne. The publishing company Penguin Group reeled me in today at. The Los Angeles Times. It’s a smart way to get younger readers to pick up an older book and older readers to pick up a newer version. (Pleased to read in. That Lea Michele from. Collection.) Wasn’t as pleased with the. For that pretentious, m...
