Parte 8: Stereotipi e barzellette

9 hours ago by Alex a.k.a. relaxdesign

Viaggiare ti insegna molte cose che vanno aldilá della semplice esperienza personale. La parte piú ricca e interessante, a mio avviso, sono i rapporti con le persone. Sto per dire una banalitá, me ne rendo conto, ma visto che l’ho

Cu fabrica la spovedanie

13 hours ago by Virago

Doar pentru ca s-a vazut bolnava, Nu mai era in stare sa dea, Sa produca, sa imparta, O fabrica s-a tot gandit, Dar s-a oprit. Si-a pus picioru’-n prag Viclean, de pe scanul de sus, Un om ce jocu-i cunoastea, I-a soptit instruziv: “Ai niste guri de hranit, Si niste datorii de platit.” Altul, deasupr ...

A Cynic looks at The New Sincerity

14 hours ago by Anton Cancre

Yesterday, I was catching up on last year’s South Park and a couple of the episodes caught me right in the gullet. Maybe I need to back up a little bit though. Even though the Manifesto for the New Sincerity surfaced in 2006, the term itself was in use back in the mid-1980’s, even showing up in Russ ...

Emptiness

23 hours ago by Shreya

I wake up in the morning with bloodshot eyes; the Sun peeks inside my window and wakes me up, birds sing dawn chorus and trees dance for me; and I gaze outside my window, holding a tea cup. I take shower and get ready for work; wearing fake expressions of satisfaction, and walk the crowded roads, wh ...

1 day ago by Iron Knee

I was pleasantly surprised by an editorial by conservative George Will condemning Republicans for saying that Obama is weak on defense. Will wonders never cease! Here are two quotes from it, but the whole thing is short and definitely worth a read. The U.S. defense budget is about 43 percent of the ...

A Tangled Web Billo Weaves

1 day ago by willradik

So this video has been going around since Billo’s show on Tuesday, in which he defended JC Penney for hiring Ellen DeGeneres as their spokesperson. I initially thought, “Well. Maybe JC Penney is a sponsor for O’Reilly, but I can’t find them on the boycott lists. Maybe they’re a more recent sponsor? ...

Another reminder to think before speaking

1 day ago by Vicki Scullion

“ Your favorite virtue? An appreciation for irony.” ― Christopher Hitchens , Hitch-22 My favorite radio weather man told me today that I needed to dig out my winter coat, mittens, and hat for tomorrow. It’s going to be cold. Really cold. Let me first say “yuck!” I live in Georgia, in the Deep South, ...
