jp commented on Amanda Palmer's TED Talk: "The Art Of Asking".

She is awful. HORRIBLE. And this talk is basically, "look how awesome I am, it's okay for me to take your money because I am awesome."

HORRIBLE.

jp commented on As Mitt Awkwardly Grins, a Romney Rally Boos Down a Protester's Mention of Climate Change.

For a split second I thought the protestor was actually a Romney supporter holding a sign that said "End Climate Science."

jp commented on The Self-Publishing Gold Rush Is in Full Swing.

So in your opinion, will there ever be a bust? I mean hell, as an aspiring author who's trying to go the traditional route and find a publisher/agent and get an editor and etc., it does give me pause to see complete tripe like "Fifty Shades"-- so, so bad!-- get an almost Dickensian level of popularity. Are we facing the death of quality, along with the death of print? What do you think?

jp commented on Binders, Dinner, and Hiring Women.

People keep saying it's a 'Mad Men' thing, but it's not-- it's TOTALLY a MORMON thing. This is how the Mormon man sees the women in his life. Sure, women can 'work,' and it's a progressive Mormon man who even considers hiring women, but for the vast majority of the LDS, the woman's place is in the home, rearing children. To suggest otherwise in that community is literally unthinkable, and even most Mormon women would agree.

It's more a 'Big Love' thing, is what I'm saying. But with, you know, only a few less wives.

All I have to say is that when I see "Tacoman," I read it as "Taco Man," and that makes it infinitely better.

For some reason I find this story kind of sad. Like, melancholy sad. Like something out of a Wes Anderson movie.

jp commented on Catholic Nuns Muzzled for Not Espousing Vatican's Bigoted Form of Christianity.

I think it's worth noting that this is coming from the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, which is the modern name of the good ol' "Supreme Sacred Congregation of the Roman and Universal Inquisition" (yes, *that* Inquisition).
