How many more examples of Going Rogue do we need?

After standing in line for several hours in the cold, cold rain, loyal Palinites watched in horror and anger as their hero boarded her Going Rogue tour bus promptly at 9pm and left their small town of Noblesville Indiana, promises broken, books unsigned. There was much complaining…

“I’m very disappointed. I think it was very rude. She could have at least apologized, and she didn’t even do that,” said Teresa Hedrick.

Many of the unhappy people stood in the rain all day, bought the book from Borders and clutched their wristbands for their opportunity to meet Palin.

“We bought two books from Borders to have our receipt and our wristband to get it signed tonight,” said one woman. “My books are going back to Borders tomorrow.”

“We gave up our entire workday, stayed in the cold. My kids were crying,” said one man. “They went home with my wife. She was out here in the freezing cold all day. I feel like I don’t want to support Sarah.”

Many shouted and screamed and booed as the bus pulled away…

Be careful Sarah. The angry hordes you helped nurture during the election cycle are quick to turn.

No… not that kind of eye candy. Sorry to be a bit off topic here but I’m a long time James Cameron fan and have missed his brand of movie-making, Titanic not withstanding. The first full trailer of his new film Avatar debuted today… and it doesn’t disappoint. Much better than the teaser. Enjoy.

Now back to you’re regularly scheduled programming…

The longest I’ve ever been able to declare myself a vegetarian is around 36 hours. Yes, really. But after watching movies like Food, Inc., The Cove, and the video below, that may soon change.

Warning, the clip is pretty graphic and difficult to watch.

150,000 chicks are ground up into fertilizer and dog food  every day for simply being the wrong gender. WTF is wrong with us?

More at Mercy for Animals.

It’s hard not to be moved to tears… Here is a quote from Black’s acceptance speech…

When I was 13 years old, my beautiful mother and my father moved me from a conservative Mormon home in San Antonio, Texas, to California, and I heard the story of Harvey Milk. And it gave me hope. It gave me the hope to live my life; it gave me the hope that one day I could live my life openly as who I am and that maybe even I could fall in love and one day get married…

Most of all, if Harvey had not been taken from us 30 years ago, I think he’d want me to say to all of the gay and lesbian kids out there tonight who have been told they are less than by their churches, or by the government, or by their families, that you are beautiful, wonderful creatures of value. And that no matter what everyone tells you, God does love you, and that very soon, I promise you, you will have equal rights federally across this great nation of ours.
