W's False pride

W's False pride 09/24/2004 11:57 AM

This is interesting: Republicans for Humility.

When I look at the W presidency and closer at the man himself and ask myself why I would not vote for him, humility ranks at the top (the lack of it, actually). I've seen time and time again, whenever he is asked a challenging question, or given the opportunity to reflect on past decisions, and Bush will respond in the most ways that approach complete arrogance.

Progress is continuing well in Iraq. I've never made a mistake in my presidency. Rumsfeld is doing a terrific job. The economy is strong and turning a corner.

Some write it off as optimism, but when he was asked about any bad decisions he's made earlier this year and said he's never made a mistake, he lost all credibility with me. Mistakes aren't always a bad thing, they're an opportunity to learn. And great men make thousands of mistakes on their way to greatness. When I heard him state his complete lack of mistakes, one word came to mind: Pride.

For a religious man, he should know about the sing of Pride and even to the non-religious, most folks have a low tolerance for arrogance. The line between "That guy is really optimistic" and "That jerk thinks he's perfect in every way" is a fine one.

It's great to see a republican-run site asking for some humility. People aren't perfect. Even great leaders make mistakes. The greatest leaders we've ever had took the time to reflect on them, acknowledge them, and repair any damage caused. When it comes to W, I'm not seeing any of that, just a complete lack of introspection and humility.

Display Your Figures With Pride

Display Your Figures With Pride 09/25/2004 09:27 AM
The next generation in Star Wars figure display systems has arrived, thanks to Pride Displays. This British-based company has just received the license to produce official action figure display settings in the United Kingdom and Ireland (overseas customers might want to contact British collectors for help). The first one to be made available is a Tatooine setting from A New Hope, but more are planned for the future. These sets are availble to pre-order, for £30.00 plus P&P, from their website and will be made available in January 2005. We'll have more pictures and a detailed review coming soon.

Pride In One's Country

Pride In One's Country 11/11/2003 10:33 AM
Are You, Deep Down, Secretly, Between-You-And-Me, Proud Of Your Country? Even if you're not Canadian? Because a lot of people in the world, no matter how badly run their country might be, seem to be just that. Isn't it weird, though - and, well, stupid - to be proud of something that just happened to happen to us and that we've done nothing to deserve, whether for good or for bad? A more telling question that occurs is: what nationality would you choose to be, if you couldn't be the one you are? Here's the menu.

Heather Gold on Pride 2005

Heather Gold on Pride 2005 06/22/2005 01:49 AM
David Pescovitz: With San Francisco Pride 2005 coming up this weekend, geek comedian Heather Gold has written an essay about her sense of pride and Pride:

Pride is traditionally the day queer folks take a break from designing and catering other people's parties to have a party of our own. I'm still debating whether I’ll go to the Gay Pride Pride Parade this year. I usually go, but I'm a little hesitant this year. I think it’s because I'm reaching gay middle age, which can begin as early as 25...

Stand proud Gay Parcheesi Players with Hay Fever! You are not alone. Soon, you too will have a float in the parade. And a special flag. This is how we got the new acronym GLBTIQQ. We used to be the gay community. Now, we are the gay, lesbian, bisexual, transexual, intersex, queer and questioning community. If we really want to be genuinely inclusive, we should add FSP for friendly straight people. And then add some vowels, because they're feeling oppressed and excluded from the acronym. Then add T for Tired, because you're exhausted by the time you get to the end of it. GBLTIQQUOEFSPAT. This is how the Parade got so long.

No one will be left out! Except the numbers. Maybe the genderqueer folks can be the numbers. Or maybe we can just use ?. The Parade is now as long as ?. They should have a halftime break. They can have straight men come out and play football for us.

Big Foot

Big Foot 02/07/2005 02:09 AM

« On the first night we had Otava, we were walking down the street and saw that someone had drawn a giant paw in the snow on a manhole cover. Perhaps it was a warning to small dog owners that a sasquatch, a.k.a. bigfoot, lives nearby. :) »

You know you've become a neighbourhood legend of sorts when kids you've never seen before come by the dog park on the way home and ask if the adorable furball is named Otava. He's something of a curiosity since there are so few Saints in Finland which is odd when there are so many Bernese [closely related to Saints] and Pulivari, the Saint in Aku Ankka. Some of the older kids, and adults, remember HB and start to ask if I'm the one with the other Saint and realise mid-sentence that they've not seen him for many months. He loves kids and trots up to them almost without exception and licks at their hands. Loud noises, especially the snow trucks and plows, still frighten him but I don't blame him as I'm not very fond of them myself. He has adjusted well enough now that I think it's time to have friends over to meet him finally as everyone wants to see how adorable he is at four months.

His personality is starting to manifest itself already. He's a climber. He cannot get enough of going up and down the hills in the park or diving into the big drifts of snow. The sofa has presented itself as his own personal Mt. Everest which he attempts to conquer each and every evening. Yesterday afternoon, I hid behind the door to the living room, to let him try it just once as he appeared to be looking for something in the cushions whenever he tried to scale Mt. Largesse. Through the crack between the door and the wall, I watched him wriggle his way up to the top, sniff a little, survey his domain and flop down into the cushions while letting out this loud, satisfied sigh. I suppressed the urge to laugh and walked into the room and pulled him off of the sofa. I fully expect that someday, when he's older and has full run of the house, I'll come home to find him on the sofa drinking beer, eating pizza, and surfing for porn on my laptop.

We are also convinced that he was a woodchuck in a former life since his lust for wood and paper of any kind continues; Books, paper towels, tissues, newspapers, trees/saplings and anything else containing trace amounts of wood pulp. He has not as yet figured out that the furniture is loaded with this magical tasty substance. He's housetrained, he knows how to sit, he knows how to come when called, but the cunning doesn't extend to getting the clue that all the furniture is made of wood. Of course, as soon as I utter these words he'll devour the entire dining room table in an afternoon. Well, I've always thought furniture was rather bourgeois anyway.

He is, perhaps, one of the most affectionate and well behaved puppies I've ever known. Aside from the occasional excited barking before meals, his fixation with the sofa and being reluctant to leave the house and/or the park [though he is improving], he's very attentive and happy. I happened to see a beef kidney at the market yesterday when I was out shopping and bought it since it was only a euro. I chopped it up, cooked it with some carrots and rice and gave him a bit of it with his dinner. I don't know that I've seen such a happy and contented puppy give such a look of utter love and devotion before. I think that he has decided to keep us. :)
