This whole Polanski thing

Just thought I would weigh in real quick.

He's a brilliant director. He has been through concentration camps and the murder of his pregnant wife and has thus suffered more than any person ever should.

He also raped a 13-year old girl. All previous statements made are therefore moot.

I seriously do not understand why people think he is being treated unfairly. Although I would love to discuss it with anyone who does.

And if anyone is confused as to what I'm talking about, go here, the source of all information forever and always

I could have been doomed

Floridians trying to criminalize birth control

Why is Florida so insane? Making the PILL illegal? Seriously?

Do you guys have any idea how close my family was to moving to this state? I was accepted to schools. We were shopping for houses. I was THIS CLOSE to living among the crazies.

My mom finally put her foot down though.

I love you, California. You may not be as blue as I want you to be, but today you're just about perfect.

The Political Climate: It's Raining Crazy

Now that the liberals are back in power and Obama has had time to do a few things, I just have to ask:

During Bush's 8 years in office were we like this? Were we this BAT-SHIT INSANE? This whiny and psychotic and completely 100% unable to recognize and accept reality?

Obviously there was some of that. But was it ever at this level?

Conservatives, please get a grip. Stop handing out Nazi references like they're candy and labeling anything that looks at you funny as socialism. You're embarrassing yourselves, and although we do as much as possible not to be associated with you, you're embarrassing us as well.

Put a cork in it. Or at least put a cork in the psychosis.

And on a related note:

Dear Glenn Beck,

Were your parents close blood relatives? Because then I would understand why you're like this.

Now that I'm back

So I lied. Many, many posts didn't follow about Chile.

It's just so hard to explain how I feel about it now that I'm not there anymore. Whenever I see my friends from there we talk ad nauseum about what we miss and what we hate about America now that we've lived the good life down south. But people who weren't there with me? They just won't get it. And that's irritating. And sad.

I've been planning out posts for nearly two months now, but I think this is all you're going to get for the time being. I'm going to start posting here again and I've felt like I couldn't do that until I summarized in meaningful terms the entire 6 months that I was gone. Well, that's not possible and I'm done trying.

Chile was beautiful and most moments of most days I wish I were still there.

That's all for now.
