Out Today
I’ll be finishing up moving out of my old apartment today, but I did want to leave you with my new favorite road trip game. It’s called Phil Collins Ruined Genesis: The Game.
The rules:
You must be taking a trip by car longer of at least 90 minutes or longer. You must listen to the radio the entire time.
You must start scanning stations from the beginning of your trip. If you find a song you’d like to listen to, you may at most listen through to the end of that song and the end of the next song, should you so desire. After that, you must resume scanning. If the song is followed by a commercial break, you must resume scanning. If you hear a talk program you’d like to listen to, you may listen until either a topic change or a commercial break.
The game:
In order to free yourself from the scanning, you must (and most likely will) find a Genesis song some time during your travel. If you hear one, you must immediately stop and listen through to the end of said song, and the end of the next one, because you just happened on a quality radio station. After that, you’re freed of your Genesis-defined confines.
Yeah, I hate road trips.
Pregsplosion!
It occurs to me upon reading this that the last movie I saw which mentioned condom use was Knocked Up. And they did it wrong. As summer vacation begins, 17 girls at Gloucester High School are expecting babies—more than four times the number of pregnancies the 1,200-student school had last…
Paragons Of Consistency
At this point, I don’t think John McCain is running on the same platform he was three months ago. It’s a really weird thing how, after more than two decades in public service, he’s decided that virtually everything he believed was in need of a refresh. All at once. In…
Cincinnati and HIV ads
Heading towards Cincinnati for the National Women’s Studies Association conference. Which means blogging might be a bit haphazard over the weekend. For those who are attending, the general plan is that I’m helping Seal Press with tabling, so stop by and say hi. Meanwhile, I’m linking to this post of…
The Log Cabin Republicans’ ‘education’ of the LGBT community on McCain begins
I almost lost my lunch reading this spin. You might recall from a recent post that the Log Cabin Republicans organization said it “will do its part to educate gay and lesbian voters about Sen. McCain in the weeks ahead.” Are you ready for the “education“? As a Republican organization,…
We Make Shit Up
Congressional Quarterly seems to be admitting that ideological rankings of Senators and Representatives, including their own, provide inaccurate, selective and mislabeled impressions of politicians. Yet, for some reason, they keep doing them. The Voteview approach is widely praised by political scientists because it has been very accurate at predicting how…
Are you racing to buy tix for the Values Voter Summit?
Mark your calendars! On September 12-14 at the Hilton Washington Hotel the professional “Christian” set will hold its 2008 Values Voter Summit. Featured confirmed speakers include Newt Gingrich, Tony Perkins, Michael Medved, Phyllis Schlafly and Gary Bauer. The bleating in the press release indicates California marriage equality is going to…

Pandagon is the go-to zone for eye-rolling at conservative nonsense, feminist rants, election-watching, and obsessing over low-rated but critically acclaimed television. Jesse Taylor and Amanda Marcotte may take politics very seriously, but egos not so much.
