If there is one takeaway quote, it is this: "You've confused a war on your religion with not always getting everything you want!" But the entire video is absolutely worth watching. You should do that now.

Jon Stewart on Contraceptive Coverage
Where would the world be without Jon Stewart? If nothing else, we'd have one less epic takedown of this entire invented controversy over birth control.

Acts of Terror
So the Rachel Maddow show had some interesting news about the latest activities of Operation Rescue.
I don't even know where to begin with this. This is what's known as respect for life?
And before someone tries to tell me that not all anti-abortion activists are like this... well, first, I'm damn well aware of that, because I know people who are opposed to abortion, and to the best of my ability to tell, they're not homicidal. But the other important part of that is that most of the people I'm thinking of right now are personally opposed to abortion, rather than agitating for its ban as a matter of public policy. And yes, there is a difference.
If you are in favor of a ban on abortion as a matter of public policy, you are by definition in favor of forcing women to submit their own desires to the government's will - in favor of state-sanctioned disrespect for life. There is no getting around that. Shakesville says it far better than I ever could, really, so just go read this. (In fact, I first heard about this story from there, too.)
In short, I don't want to hear about how you of course don't support these kinds of acts of terror. And not just because we both know that one would have to say that if they ever wanted me to talk to them again, but also because this is merely the most extreme example of a disrespect for life that is part and parcel of the movement to ban abortion.

AMV - Distant Memories
So there are some things I don't know how to do, and making AMVs is one of them.
However, I have friends that do know how to do these things, and one of them just recently created a new AMV mixing together Kingdom Hearts and Air.
Just to make it abundantly clear, this is a work that a friend of mine put together, and not something that I claim any ownership in. All I'm doing is spreading the word.
There's more information at my friend's blog, or on YouTube itself for this video. Or you could just watch the embedded version below. I definitely think it's worth watching, however you go about doing that.

Mobile Suit Gundam: Study Abroad War Chronicle
Just a silly little parody of the original, 1979 Mobile Suit Gundam series that a few classmates and I cooked up, back when we were studying abroad in Japan. Thought I might as well spread the word.
