I haven’t been following the Rihanna/Chris Brown beating very closely – but a blog I follow recently posted an article about teen response to the incident.

It seems odd that twice this morning I should be reminded of the impact costumed heroes and villains have on our lives. Not in a metaphorical way, but in real blood and guts instances.

Here are a few snippets of racism and sexism as reflected in American media and politics, both encountered within the last 24 hours. Both incredibly disheartening. We’ll start with the more obvious first.
BLACK MEN AND WHITE WOMEN
The first time I watched this was at work with the sound turned off. I only had [...]

So, I was surprised to drum up this fancy piece of information this afternoon will scanning through my RSS Feeds. I suppose that’s one thing that I’ve always loved about Portland, the city’s ability to look towards the future. And/or copy California/Seattle.

You’ll have to pardon me – my level of tolerance and wit is WAY WAY down as I face the many curve-balls life has been throwing lately. My bank account balance being the most amusing one I can think of off the top of my head.
