at you in a streetcar and you pretend you don’t but really you do
see and you are My how glad he winked and hope he’ll do it again.”

Someone HAD to write a story inspired by “Viva La Vida”

Ukrainian and Russian translations of my piece on MTV Ukraine and domestic violence
Here is the Ukrainian translation and here is the Russian one. And this is the original piece on MTV Ukraine’s little “public survey.”
Pass it on if it’s useful.
Hey MTV Ukraine! Domestic violence is NOT a joke
My latest column is all about MTV Ukraine and the normalization of domestic violence. Incriminating pictures are included (in case anyone is wondering if I’m making this stuff up, which isn’t something I’d automatically blame you for).
Please post widely, if you can.
LOL @ McCain/Palin
Palin doesn’t even know what the Bush Doctrine is, that much should be obvious to everyone in America right now. The punditry saying things like, “well, you know, I bet the average hockey mom doesn’t know what the Bush Doctrine is either, so why should it matter?” is disingenuous and dumb.
Would these very same hockey moms accept their kids’ science teacher not knowing what an atom is? NO.
Because, and I really hate the fact that I feel the need to keep repeating this, I don’t need to RELATE to the average politician, I need them to be able to DO THEIR JOB. Knowing precisely what the foreign policy of the outgoing administration are is a pretty big part of said job. The fact that Russia can *omigod* be seen from an island in Alaska is NOT going to substitute for that. What’s next? I’ve seen, uh, Saudi Arabia from a plane once. I guess I am uniquely qualified to negotiate with the House of Saud. Who knew?
Great choice, John McCain.
