Garden Porn: Organic Pest Control – Working WITH Nature

By on July 13, 2009 in Uncategorized

Mrs. E and I have been organic gardening together for about seven years and recently moved to a new home with an acre of land about three years ago. We now have a very nice garden, 100% organic, lush and productive. We preserve an amazing amount of food from it and, every week of the year, we eat at least two meals, often more, that are mainly from our garden.

Below are some of the tricks and techniques we’ve learned over the years to combat pests organically. Perhaps you’ll find something useful in them.
We have about 1300 square feet of gardening space.…

The Unhingement of the Right Begins

By on July 1, 2009 in Republicans

You’ll love this. Yesterday Glenn Beck interviewed Michael Scheuer, the former head of the Osama bin Laden unit under Clinton and Bush II. He’s so distraught over the final domino tumbling (60 Democratic Senators in Congress, Yippee!!!) that he wishes the terrorists would attack the USA.

“The only chance we have as a country right now is for Osama bin Laden to deploy and detonate a major weapon in the United States.”

Think for a minute if someone from the liberal side of the aisle said something like that. What words would be used to describe them?

Traitor?
Scum?
Terrorist-appeaser?
Anti-American?…

Halle-freakin-lujah – Senator Al Franken

By on June 30, 2009 in Politics, Republican-Fail

Such good, good news. Norm Coleman did the gracious thing by bowing out after a scant eight fucking months of court challenges. What a righteous dude.

Fucker.

Watching this makes me feel all better, though.

I’m just sayin’…

Who Would Jesus Shoot?

By on June 30, 2009 in Uncategorized

This kind of thing is why I don’t go to church anymore. No, most churches aren’t this asinine, this completely oblivious to how far away from the true Word of Jesus Christ they are. But the fact that organized Christianity has this element in it makes it all too clear just how much a false construct the church is.

Pastor Urges His Flock to Bring Guns to Church
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Ken Pagano, the pastor of the New Bethel Church here, is passionate about gun rights. He shoots regularly at the local firing range, and his sermon two weeks ago was on “God, Guns, Gospel and Geometry.” And on Saturday night, he is inviting his congregation of 150 and others to wear or carry their firearms into the sanctuary to “celebrate our rights as Americans!” as a promotional flier for the “open carry celebration” puts it.…

Revising the Facts: “9-0 Against Sotomayor”

By on June 29, 2009 in Conservatives, Republicans

As you’re probably aware by now, the Supreme Court yesterday ruled in the RICCI ET AL. v. DESTEFANO ET AL case, overturning a decision by Sonia Sotomayor. I’ll leave it to others to debate the pros and cons, goods and bads of this decision – I don’t have enough knowledge of the law in this area to express an opinion. You might try this, this, or this for more analysis.

What I found positively amazing (even though I should know better) is that pundits on the Right have turned a 5-4 decision into a 9-0 decision in less than half a day.…

“I Don’t Believe Health Care is a Right”

By on June 28, 2009 in Organizing For America

Cross-posted at The Daily Kos.

Yesterday I participated in our local Organizing For America (OFA) National Health Care Day of Service in the Ypsilanti/Ann Arbor area. Our event was a health care fair where we brought together various agencies in the region to help people without health care find resources to help them with their situation.

I spent part of the day canvassing the neighborhood, letting people know about our fair and asking them to sign onto President Obama’s Three Principles (more on that in a bit.) I spoke to one young guy who has availed himself of county health coverage program.…

Jenny Sanford: “He was told…not to see her”

By on June 27, 2009 in Republican-Fail

Cross-posted at The Daily Kos.

For several days now I’ve been expressing my disgust at Governor Mark Sanford. According to his wife, Jenny, they were in a trial separation to help “strengthen their marriage” and then, less than a week later, off he goes to Argentina to be with his squeeze. Chances of their marriage succeeding after he pulls that little stunt? Oh, I’d say about ZERO percent.

Turns out that Ms. Sanford knew about the affair for several months and, according to her, “He was told in no uncertain terms not to see her.”

“I was hoping he was on the Appalachian Trail.…

Burger King Sells It With Sex

By on June 24, 2009 in Bwahahahahaha


Burger King is the place to go if you want to get (your mind) blown.

Ad text:

“Fill your desire for something long, juicy and flame-grilled with the NEW BK SUPER SEVEN INCHER. Yearn for more after you taste the mind-blowing burger that comes with a single beef patty, topped with American cheese, crispy onions and the A1 Thick and Hearty Steak Sauce.”

Perfectly subtle. I love that.
