I am lighter now,
can jump a bit higher, yet
my soul is heavy
Der Satellit hat die arabische Welt demokratisiert, nur Mr. Bush hat das noch nicht mitbekommen”, resümiert etwa Fatima Mernissi, die als Professorin für Soziologie an der Universität im marokkanischen Rabat lehrt. Eine These, die sie mit einem Zahlenbeispiel unterlegen will: “80.000 Menschen arbeiten bei uns in den Medien, 50.000 davon sind Frauen - und die putzen nicht bloß den Flur. Das ist für mich die Nachricht überhaupt.

There’s no question in my mind that George W. Bush has been great for democracy. Previously, a lot of people were becoming disillusioned with mainstream politics, frustrated at having to choose between one corporate-backed rich white guy with good hair and another, slightly different-looking corporate-backed rich white guy with good hair. The feeling was: “What difference does it make if I vote? They’re all the same. What will one guy do that the other won’t?”

Thanks to Bush, now we know. He’s like a walking object lesson in the importance of voter turnout.

Squirrel

Pronunciation of SQL - The Fishbowl

Just rediscovered this while going through my blog archive. Still funny.

Guild Wars fucking rocks. But it doesn’t have attachable, scripted penises. Penii? Rods. FU!
