Vie de Malchance

7 February, 2010 (19:14) | That is life | By: pooq

The author is hated in his town. That is no wonder if he calles it “Stenchville” and calls its inhabitants “philanderer, alcoholic, gambler or coke fiend”. Well maybe that still could have been excused but that he “wasn’t in church on Sunday” definitely is the straw that broke the camel’s back.
Such is not the behaviour [...]

A Little Urbanity

7 February, 2010 (18:51) | Music | By: pooq

“We packed two cars full of teenagers yesterday to see Willie Nelson, John Mellencamp, and Bob Dylan perform at the Durham Athletic Park.” Maybe the author of this blog ownes a Black Maria or how else did they get a bunch of young people to watch this stone old heroes of their parents or better [...]

Plead the First

“A columnist at Newsmax advocates a military coup to overthrow the government of the United States.” Actually the columinist claimed not to be advocating but to be merely “describing” what could happen. Well this “only decribing” tactic never worked too long legally. I remember in my youth there was a techzine which just “described” how [...]

Charles Davenport, Jr. seems to be a man of limited understanding of statistics and facts. To hide this drawback he frequently uses quotes in the hope that citing other people will provide a good deal of those people’s insights and would be a prove of education.

Ramblin’ Prose

You have to be careful when someone invites you to “have some fun” as having fun is a thing which could have a very different meaning for people. So if you follow such an invation you may easily end up in dingy dead end street bar, or watching the collected family photo albums of the [...]

Sue’s Place

This is the second time in short time that a blog article encouraged me to read about the Greensboro sit-ins. This time the question is whether “The Weaver family participated in and financially benefited from racially segregationist policies prior to the time that they ‘decided’ to integrate their properties”. Well I don’t want to look [...]

Xark!

This blog post consists of little more than a Youtube video with a British parody on “How to make a news segment“. As there was barely much else to deal with in this blog post I against my principles decided to watch the clip. Well it was not overwhelmingly exciting but neat enough to watch [...]

Zuky

The Diaspora is a fate several ethical or religious communities have suffered in history. The author has Asian roots even though I understand that he was born in the USA. He describes the fates of his family members - especially those of his father and his mother. And above his own Diaspora he also studied [...]
