Reasons to Ramble
About
Tom Waits
Soc grad student who sees the world through the lens of (mostly) logical thought and gets irritated when others can't seem to do the same. Everything I see, everywhere I go, everything I do is sociologically colored and that is exactly the way I like it.
Oh, and without musical goodness, all of the above would make me crazy.

i must be tired
I’m getting upset with the constant stream of folks saying things like “why doesn’t anyone have original ideas anymore?” You know what, if you’re so upset about this fucking point then create something original. Make art, don’t expect art to, get this, make you.

UPDATED: Fox Reverses Poll Results To Falsely Claim Most Americans Favor Ending Collective Bargaining
“On Fox & Friends, co-host Brian Kilmeade claimed, along with an on-screen graphic, that a recent USA Today/Gallup poll found that “61 percent” of Americans are in favor of taking away collective bargaining rights from public unions. In fact, Fox aired the results of the poll completely backward: the Gallup poll found that 61 percent of Americans are opposed to taking away collective bargaining rights.”
“Kilmeade issued a correction during the final minute of Fox & Friends - 44 minutes after the error - saying: “I want to correct a poll that we did about 22 minutes ago from Gallup. Sixty-one percent oppose taking collective bargaining away from those people in Wisconsin; 33 percent in favor. I had it reversed. I apologize.” In fact, the poll asked if people would oppose a similar law in their own states. A graphic was aired correctly showing that 61 percent of those polled oppose taking collective bargaining away.”

“obviously, what happened to Lara Logan is reprehensible, horrific, we can’t find a language to describe what happened to her. but having said that, if our democracy, Bill, if our readiness for democracy in this country is based upon, determined by, demonstrated by our respect for women, then we ain’t ready for democracy…. i’m suggesting to you that if you think that the way we treat women in this country, with patriarchy still alive and well, sexism still alive and well, is determinative or demonstrative of how well our democracy runs, i think you don’t understand how maltreated women are still in this society.”
