The Smallest Bit Helps (click)

Mon, 30 Jan 2012 21:08:00 -0600

So, my friend Megan is participating in the Cherry Blossom 10-mile run to raise funds for Run for Congo Women. A 501(c)(3) organization, funds raised will help women in the DRC who have lost everything with direct financial assistance, job skills training, rights awareness education, and the resources to find the stability and self-sufficiency they need to get back on their feet. The smallest contribution will help. If you can’t contribute, at least reblog.

Mon, 09 Jan 2012 13:56:56 -0600

“And how do our foreign guests feel about conservative accusations that Obama is a socialist? “That’s laughable, really laughable,” Strauss said. “It doesn’t make any sense, it’s not a good criticism of Obama and it shows they don’t understand Obama at all. You may think he’s on the wrong path to ensuring those things and that he has wrong ideas but that he says, ‘Oh it’s a great morning today, the sun is shining over the rose garden, let’s go kill some jobs!’ is ridiculous.””

Here’s a tip for the do-it-yourself crowd: Go to your computer’s Start menu, and either go to “run” or just search for “cmd.” Open it up, and type in “ping [website address],” 


Once you have the IP for a website, all you really need to do is enter it like you would a normal URL and hit enter/press go. Typing in “208.85.240.231” should bring you to the front page of AO3, for example, just as typing “174.121.194.34/dashboard” should bring you straight to your Tumblr dashboard. Since we’re obviously bracing for the worst case scenario which would involve you not being able to access the internet regularly, you should, save this list.

"As non-neoclassicists began to reappropriate IPE as a term for their study, a movement began within..."

Thu, 05 Jan 2012 10:42:08 -0600

“As non-neoclassicists began to reappropriate IPE as a term for their study, a movement began within the neoclassicists to incorporate political economy into their school of thought. Called New Political Economy, or ultra-orthodox economists, these were a select few at Chicago, George Mason and Virginia. The crux of this school is the belief that to account for economic behavior, you have to take into account human behavior. Humans, in turn, are egoist, self-involved decision-makers who are out to maximize their interests and needs. These new neoclassicists began to expand their theories to household economics, best embodied by Becker’s statement “Children are like refrigerators”. This launches the Chicago School and begins the colonization of anthropology and law and sociology by economic theories as formulated by ultra-orthodox neoclassicists.”

Today is my grandfather’s birthday.

He lived through the Depression, and, if I’m not mistaken about his age, the Flood of ‘27. He still jokes that the Japanese decided to give them best fireworks display ever for his birthday. He didn’t celebrate his birthday in 1941 because he was having to help his family work in the fields, but he ended the day knowing he would go to war after Pearl Harbor.

Makes you think.

deadpresidents:

•This is an Historically Accurate Transcription starring President Herbert Hoover and President-elect Franklin D. Roosevelt•

HOOVER: Oh, don’t bother getting up or anything. It’s not like I’m still President until noon. Yeah, that’s not disrespectful at all. I’ll just go ahead and pay respects to you. No reason to abide by 150 years of tradition when Franklin D. Roosevelt is involved, right?
FDR: My legs are like Americans after four years of your Presidency, Mr. Hoover: They don’t work.
HOOVER: My apologies, Mr. President-elect. Maybe someday an inventor will figure out a way for people like you to get around more easily — like, I don’t know, a chair with wheels on it? Imagine the ingenuity!
FDR: I know that you’re bitter because I kicked your ass in the election, but what I really want to know is why you have a permanent look of disgust on your face. You’re either a sour, angry man or need to go to the bathroom really bad.
HOOVER: You know, I was always curious — are you a beard for Eleanor or are you just naturally attracted to women who look like their faces caught on fire and were extinguished with a sock full of rocks?
FDR: Do you feel more in touch with the average American now that you’re going to be unemployed?
HOOVER: I’ll answer that question when you tap dance.
FDR: Another joke about my disability. Classy.
HOOVER: Since you were late arriving at the White House and then broke tradition by rudely forcing me to come outside and greet you, I took it upon myself to think of some helpful hints for living in the Executive Mansion.
FDR: I’m sure this isn’t going to be the least bit mean-spirited.
HOOVER: Basically, it’s just a map of where the elevators are, President Linguine Legs. You might want to install some fire alarms, too.
FDR: That’s very nice of you. Should I call you if I want the economy to suffer a devastating and spectacular crash? You seem to be the expert on instigating financial disasters.
HOOVER: You must save a lot of money on shoes. Do you just have one spotlessly clean pair with soles that have never touched the ground?
FDR: Being able to get by wearing the same pair of shoes is helpful, especially since your economic policies since 1929 forced me to eat my other shoes for sustenance.
HOOVER: This may be harsh, but I hope you find yourself engulfed in a vicious World War with the future of the world at stake and end up dying JUST before the end of the conflict.
FDR: Or, I could follow the precedent that you set and do absolutely nothing to rectify problems.
HOOVER: Does Eleanor get confused and eat out of your dog Fala’s bowl, or is she able to figure out which one is hers?
FDR: Totally uncalled for.

If the SEC were a high school

Bama would be the Jock that is always pretty big, but has to make up stories about how he was being tackled by 3 guys in the backfield before he threw the 60 yard perfect spiral for a TD to win the game, when in reality he just threw a 3 yard screen pass. Arkansas is kid that everyone knows, but can’t remember their name. Auburn is the hippy kid that acts they don’t care about what people are saying about the jock, but in reality, it eats them up on the inside. Florida is the stoner that somehow always ends up with the good looking girl, prior to his arrest. Georgia is that kid that always complains that the teachers hate him, and are unfairly singling him out. Kentucky is the fat kid no one likes. LSU is the gangsta that loves to beat people up on the playground, but everyone is too scared to tell on him. Ole Miss is that homely little girl that wishes she could be pretty enough to be noticed by any of the boys in her class. Mississippi State is that fun loving guy that is all the girls “best friend.” South Carolina is the kid that talks about all the stuff he did over the summer, but in reality he just sat home and played atari. Tennessee is the kid that was hot stuff in middle school, then broke out in Acne once he hit 9th grade and no one talks to anymore. Vandy is that really really smart kid, that when provoked enough will punch you in the nose and beat the crap out of you

If I won the lottery
I’d smash ancient pottery
Burn a Picasso with cigars
Wreck multi-million dollar cars
Buy and burn a fancy ship
And sponsor a small scholarship
That way people will think high of me
if I won the lottery.
