“…the truth is only so many people can stand on top of a pyramid.”
– Michael Moore (via azspot) I’m really looking forward to the new movie. But M.? Not so much. “I’m not seeing that!” he scowled. “Why not?” “Do you really think I need a two-hour lesson on why American capitalism is awful?” he answered, “Do I...

“The amount of money that ACORN has received in the past 20 years altogether is...”
– Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.) (via unburyingthelead, robot-heart-politics, apsies) OH SNAP. But in all seriousness, it bums me out that ACORN has finally gotten recognition for all the wrong things. The (very un-homogeneous) organization has done a lot of good on small and large scales across the...

Not even pizza is spared a coat of sodium. When the mayor sat down to eat a slice at...

"It's called wind."
Gena’s three-word response to Santo Tomas de Aquino’s argument for the existence of God. (She’s taking a religion class in Spain. “Our workbook has five reasons that demonstrate that god is real,” she wrote. Numero uno: EL MOVIMIENTO.) Even as child, Gena was an atheist. That hardly makes sense, and yet it is true. An anecdote: when my dad was young, he was a...
