Pope Battle-Damaged Cheerleader?
Feb. 21st, 2013 11:37 am
Personally, I'm more than a little concerned about any religious leader who has a healing factor.
Is the world ready for the first Skullmonkey Pope?
Will the next pope be visually impaired?

If Robert B Downs could be Head Librarian at the University of Ilinois at Urbana-Champaign with an eyepatch, then a one-eyed samurai can be Pope, right?
Jesus turned water into wine; this pope will turn wine into urine.

Feb. 14th, 2013 04:48 pmLet the filibustering of Chuck Hagel serve as a lesson to all of you!
If you knock Israel's cock out of your mouth, you will not be allowed to be Secretary of Defense.
Also Not Allowed: saying that we spend too much money on our military and telling people that you want direct talks with other countries and armed groups to end lethal conflicts, because we're in goddamned third grade and need somebody to pass our notes for us.
Cowards.
Are you my pontiff?

Who will be the next Pope? Perhaps nanotech can help us decide.

Who will be the next Pope?

Pope J'onzz the First promises that his papacy will be strong and transparent, with comprehensive immigration reform and Chocos for all.
Everybody's got a little bit of OCD. I've got a little bit of everybody's. Here's one example for you.
My brain likes certain things to be organized and then placed into piles and stacks. It's very difficult for me to use drawers, as out of sight is truly out of mine for me. As such, small clusters of things sprout up around our house. On occasion, I realize that these detritus-mounds are getting a bit obtrusive, so I decide to clean up a bit.
All of these sorted things were in dozens of different piles around our place. When I organize, I gather ALL of them, make one HUGE mound, and sort downwards. In this photo, I was about to start on the box in the lower right.
None are put away until ALL are sorted.
A few weeks ago I had pulled out a few piles of stuff and a box of papers to go through. Nadja casually mentioned that I should really stand up and take a photograph. I had absolutely no idea why she would ask me to do this.
b - “I'm just sorting things.”N - “Mmm-hmm.”
b - “Why would I take a picture of—[looking down]—oh.”
N - “That's not how most people sort things, baby.”
b - “Not surprising.”
I had never taken a step back from my sorting methods and looked at them from the outside. When I look at this photograph, I know exactly what's going on; it took me no time at all to label it even though I took it over a month ago. When I look at it from the point of view of somebody just walking into the room? Holy shit, that dude must have The Crazies.
My obsessive compulsive disorder has, over the past few years, managed to overtake my mood disorder and my Tourette's. They're both still around, of course, but having Nadja around has calmed them both. My OCD has picked up the slack and become an inexcusable bastard.
I'm going to try to start taking notes of some of my methods and peculiarities. Perhaps I can get back into doing some Fuckbrain Comix specifically about these things.
Here’s a key to my labeling. Any jokes made about how the letters in the photo aren’t in the right order are clearly being made by somebody without OCD. :)
( Oh, FINE, you want to know what everything IS... )
Love,

Jan. 29th, 2013 10:26 amI drew a political cartoon for you!
And if you feel like bitching that there was no candidate for you to vote your conscience, here's a list of 6 Presidential Candidates from 2012, with an additional list of write-ins:

"A careful reading of both the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution will not reveal any intrinsic right to
health care, food or shelter. That's because there isn't any. This "right" has never existed in America." - John Mackey of Whole Foods Market
"There is no intrinsic right in the Constitution to a jury of your peers. This "right" has never existed in America. Same with the government making paper money. And primary elections. And marriage. And the Air Force." - Jjon Makki of Whole Foods
"Obama is a socialist for doing this health care thing, because in socialism 'the government controls the means of production.' [Actual in-context quote with poorly cherry-picked definition of Socialism] Wait, no, I said that last year. Now I've decided he's a fascist in regards to the same subject. Those two terms are totally interchangeable, aren't they?" - Jon Makey of Whole Foods
"Did I mention that the deductible at my store is usually closer to the high end of '$300 to $1,800 annually, based on years of service' and that as recently as three years ago we didn't provide health benefits for mental health medication?" - Dijon Mackeral of Whole Foods
Even if you could previously have afforded to shop at Whole Paycheck Foods, I urge you not to now, or at least to encourage the employees to take the fight to their boss, since in the past he has let his "team members" (read: employees) decide on what will and won't be offered by his health insurance.
For some people, it really IS just about the money.

My Robot is helping me with the whole "It's okay to just sit down and do some sketching with no goal" thing. My OCD wants a complete and completable idea/plan every time. The other parts of my brain like space vegetables, I guess.
Last night I asked the creepy little monsters who follow me on Facebook for some nouns with no context.
Then I made you some art.
A Reasonable Approximation of Love,
benjamin
