Writing intermittently on life, politics, and society. While we’re drawing parallels. As I’m too busy (read: lazy) to do much posting, and I love a bit of snark, I thought to share a post from commenter El Cid over at Balloon Juice. On the latest news from Winconsin. That Hugo Chavez sure is an evil authoritarian for getting the parliament to give him emergency decree powers. Chavez used the pathetic excuse of massive floods displacing almost 150,000 people to ram through acts such as providing housing t...

Three-ring circus |

Writing intermittently on life, politics, and society. I haven’t the heart these days to write much about politics. I’m trying to preserve what little joy and hope remains in me. I may find welcome respite when I take up a new job in March after a really tough year and a bit of underemployment (woo, yay! That being said I have found it fascinating that contrary to “jobs jobs jobs” the focus of the US House of Reps. has been on making sure women know their place. Quelle surprise!

It’s been a while |
https://thekingofcups.wordpress.com/2011/03/07/its-been-a-while
Writing intermittently on life, politics, and society. It’s been a while. It’s hard to believe that the last time I posted here was just over two weeks ago. I’ve been busy working on a few things for my friend, which I hope will soon go up on his excellent blogs, Loco’s Patronus. And Loco in Yokohama. I’ve also been occupied with preparations to take up a gig in India. It’s been a real roller-coaster getting to this point. I may write about it some time at the other vanity project. Hoping for better days.

World Development Report |

Writing intermittently on life, politics, and society. Peeped the World Bank’s World Development Report for 2011. It’s being considered a significant development by people I know in the humanitarian field because the report seems to indicate a move from “just infrastructure and capacity building” to addressing the deleterious effects of violent conflict on development the field has long called attention to. Better writers have expressed. Some of my thinking. It was filed under Uncategorized. Create a fre...

Writing intermittently on life, politics, and society. So, I’ve been in India for about three weeks or so. Many of my initial impressions can be found here. I’ve been too busy, with work and the unenviable task of getting set up – more on that later, to follow much in the way of politics, things were less hectic in the office today and I managed to catch news of David Cameron’s speech on immigration. This entry was posted on April 14, 2011 by thekingofcups. It was filed under Uncategorized. You are comme...

Writing intermittently on life, politics, and society. And next to emerge from the clown car…. At Mother Jones writes about the latest GOP panty-sniffing exercise. It seems limited government means government limited to policing women – and other undesirables:. Did you keep your receipt? Hey, remember when it was government tyranny to have IRS agents enforce healthcare reform? This entry was posted on March 19, 2011 by thekingofcups. It was filed under Uncategorized.
