GOBAMA!
ok not quite right, but you know, pumpkin isn't my usual media...i know, excuses...

so i clearly didn't get the idea, cuz i ended up with sharpie all over my pumpkin (instead of only marking the parts i'd cut out). still, it was fun...what's next? (other than sleep, that is...)

yay decorating finally! now i just need a costume. right. and sleep.

"Remember this..."
"Fortunately, power has a shelf life. When the time comes, maybe this mighty empire will, like others before it, overreach itself and implode from within. ...For all the endless empty chatter about democracy, today, the world is run by three of the most secretive institutions in the world: the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, and the World Trade Organization, all three of which, in turn, are dominated by the United States. ...A world run by a handful of greedy bankers and CEOs who nobody elected can't possibly last.
...

Corporate globalism--or shall we call it by its name?--Imperialism...
...

What can we do?

We can hone our memory, we can learn from our history. We can continue to build public opinion until it becomes a deafening roar.

...We can re-invent civil disobedience in a million different ways. In other words, we can come up with a million ways of becoming a collective pain in the ass.

...Our strategy should be not only to confront Empire, but to lay siege to it. To deprive it of oxygen. To shame it. To mock it. With our art, our music, our literature, our stubbornness, our joy, our brilliance, our sheer relentlessness--and our ability to tell our own stories. Stories that are different from the ones we're being brainwashed to believe.

The corporate revolution will collapse if we refuse to buy what they are selling--their ideas, their version of history, their wars, their weapons, their notion of inevitability.

Remember this: We be many and they be few. They need us more than we need them."

- From "War Talk" by Arundhati-kickass-Roy.

Final prez debate: THREEPEAT, baby!
bit of rose, bit of ob beer (ob, geddit? obama/biden 08, baby!), and the final debacle, ahem, debate. mclame is parroting the same lines i heard in the first debate.

obama wins on both substance and style.

tonight's memorabilia:

1. mccain's trembly finger (what was up with that? did anyone else see that?)
2. joe the frakkin plumber (what happened to joe sixpack?)
3. joe the plumber is rich *and* a symbol of obama's class warfare? (can anyone explain that to me?)
4. lilly ledbetter
5. Acorn, Ayers, repeat (yawn, and uh, what about mccain's involvement?)
6. "breast of fresh air"
7. "nuclear pants...plants" -mccain
8. "i am a free traitor" -mccain
9. "senator government" -mccain referring to obama

Oktoberfest in our hood :)
So happy to be out on a surprisingly gorgeous day, hanging out with old and new friends from the neighborhood. The beers were good (and many local!), the wines looked fancy, and the vibe was just right. Here's to the first annual Oakland Oktoberfest! Yay Dimond/Sausal/Fruitvale/Laurel/Belly Palace!

veep debate games
Debate games at belly palace--while geeking out on twitter.

Simple rules, when the following terms are mentioned in the debate, it's one drink (or more as noted):

1. Washington outsider
2. Alaska
3. Palin talks in circles--1 drink for everytime someone says "wtf?!?" and another drink for each time the question has to be repeated
4. Anytime the effects of man on the environment were minimized (1 drink) or claimed to be nonexistence (2 drinks)
5. Each time Biden referred to himself in the third person
6. Drill baby drill
7. "Clean" coal
8. Surge (this one had to be removed to keep the bottle from being emptied too early)
9. "Ummmmm..."
10. Says a world leader's name even approximately correctly (1 drink), says a world leader's name incorrectly (2 drinks)
11. "As for..."
12. "Such as..."
13. Wasilla
14. Maverick (like #8 above, we had to eliminate this one early on)

----and my favorites of the evening----


15. O'Biden (and yes, she said it more than once...)
16. "he is the man we need to leave...lead" (Palin on McCain)
