Naptown Roller Girls on the morning news

Channel 13's very own Treeboy showed up with cameras to the secret NRG lair early this morning. I would embed the video, but either it's protected or I'm not adept. This link will take you there all the same. You can see an interview with Touretta Lynn and watch a bunch of roller girls skate around in the new practice space.

I am about to jump out of my skin I'm so excited for this bout.



Happy New Year

Someone asked me what my New Year's resolutions were, and I replied none. I've not made a New Year's resolution in a long time, generally because I believe there's no time like the present. If I waited once a year to get my act in gear in one area or another I'd never get anything done. I do like the formality of it all, though. A personal legislation body of one can annually draw up a decree for all the citizenry (population 1) to follow. Neato.

I came across this article on Slate today. Christopher Hitchens puts forth the argument that Rick Warren (head of Saddleback church and active campaigner in support of Prop 8) is a douche bag of many flavors and not just sexual intolerance. From this article I now have my favorite diss of the day: Hitchens refers to the president of Syria, Bashar Assad, as a "Human Toothbrush". Delightful.
