Avoiding the Crash Wall

President Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize “for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples.”
Let us wish him well for all our sakes.

I intend to close Guantanamo, and I will follow through on that. I have said repeatedly that America doesn’t torture. And I’m gonna make sure that we don’t torture. Those are part and parcel of an effort to regain America’s moral stature in the world.
Quotation from President Barack Obama

If you’re walking down the right path and you’re willing to keep walking, eventually you’ll make progress.
Another Quotation from President Obama

Loaded for Bear

Encore Seraphine has been down for a few days. In a nutshell, somebody exploited a software vulnerability. My webhost rightly suspended the website until the problem was fixed.
My heart goes out to the victims of the terrible violence in Mumbai, India.

If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.
Quotation from Mother Teresa
In this life we cannot do great things. We can only do small things with great love.
Another quotation from Mother Teresa
An eye for eye only ends up making the whole world blind.
Quotation from Mohandas Gandhi

Born Beautiful, Scarred for Life

Born Beautiful, Scarred for Life

What makes a little girl ugly? It’s a trick question.
As Gandi said, Be the change you want to see.
All children are beautiful. All children are beautiful.

Chinese girl not ‘pretty enough’ for Olympic ceremony (Belfast Telegraph)

(Barbie) I’m an ugly girl, my face makes you hurl.
Sad I have it, I should bag it.
Acne everywhere, unwanted facial hair,
I’m a relation to Frankenstein’s creation.
(Ken) You’re so ugly. You disgust me.
Lyrics from Weird Al Yankovic, Ugly Girl (Barbie Girl Parody)

I’m not a pretty girl
that’s not what I do.
I’m no damsel in distess
and I don’t need to be rescued,
so put me down punk,
maybe you’d prefer a maiden fair,
isn’t there a kitten stuck up a tree somewhere?
Lyrics from Ani Difranco, Not A Pretty Girl

I did a guest comic today for WIREHEADS! It’s one of my favorite comics. Go look! Go look!

Taxicab Confessions

Taxicab Confessions

I like to watch reality shows. Taxicab Confessions is a favorite.
People tell things to cabbies I’d never in a million years tell a stranger. Not even a priest!
Would you tell a stranger something personal if you thought you’d never see them again?

Taxicab Confessions Synopsis (HBO.com)

“A guilty conscience needs to confess. A work of art is a confession.”
Quotation from Albert Camus

“Confession of errors is like a broom which sweeps away the dirt and
leaves the surface brighter and clearer. I feel stronger for confession.”
Quotation from Mohandas Gandhi
