Prince Rogers Nelson



RIP Prince Rogers Nelson, b. 7 June 1958; d. 21 April 2016.
We shared a birthday. I've always found him to be a role model, being another petite gentleman - I wear my masculinity as it suits me, regardless of what others expect or perceive. I am who I am, in part because of his example, and equally because of his music. Thank you, ‪#‎Prince‬ - you are gone, but you will not be forgotten.

 And from +Alyssa Rosenberg, who summed it up more succint than I.

Oprah Winfrey is not the Messiah you are looking for.

Oprah Winfrey is not our Messiah. She cannot solve the problems of America. No one is. No one person can. Nor should we want them to. Oprah doesn't have perfect judgement. Remember, she supported and promoted the likes of Dr. Oz, Dr. Phil, Jenny McCarthy, and other charlatans who prey upon/pander to the less well-educated members of our society. Not everyone who is good at what they do, and effective where they are, would translate to a good President. Oprah  would be much more effective doing what she does best - rallying public opinion to a cause and getting more people involved in the process.

I would hate to see her hands (and mouth) tied up in the Presidency, where she would have to walk both sides and make compromises to get actual work done. I love  Kshama Sawant . Having a Soc...

And the most reasonable voice in the Arab world is...

...Muammar Qaddafi? That's right, I said Muammar Qaddafi. This is his op-ed piece on NYTimes.com today. I couldn't believe it either. I started out with the idea that this would be another Times op-ed piece of vitriolic ranting, chock-full with anti-Israel bias. After all, this is the leader of a county that used to sponsor terrorism around the world and actually began his leadership career in Libya with the eliminaton of Israel as one of the pillars of his philosophy. Now it would seem, Qaddafi has become quite the moderate in his old age. Here is the text of his op-ed piece in full. Amazing... THE shocking level of the last wave of Israeli-Palestinian violence, which ended with this weekend’s cease-fire, reminds us why a final resolution to the so-called Middle East crisis is so important. It is vital not just to break this cycle of destruction and injustice, but also to deny the religious extremists in the region who feed on the conflict an excuse to advance their own ca...

How to Make Dandelion Wine - wikiHow

How to Make Dandelion Wine - wikiHow Interesting article. Totally random how I came across it - as most things in my life tend to be (did you catch the name of the blog?) and I've decided to do it. As my boyfriend says, the more random, the more unique, the more likely I am to do it. He's not entirely wrong in this guess-timate of my nature. Probably not wrong at all... ...so who's up for collecting dandelions with me?
