That's a good point. You'd think these people had watched 12 Monkeys, 28 Days Later, and Snakehead Terror by now. But it's like asking how to stop idiocy -- you'd think a desire to help animals would entail a desire to learn something about animals, but that's too often not the case. I'm sympathetic to trying to stop that kind of vigilante buy-and-release efforts, but I don't think it's fair or necessarily ethical to ask a large and well-defined immigrant sub-culture to bear the brunt of that.
Anyway, I'm more considered about hunting down and shooting people who plant bamboo in the neighborhood. That shit grows fast enough I'm pretty sure I could claim a stand-my-ground self defense.
One fish, two fish, dead fish, live fish
The boring fact is that I do most of my shopping at the local Giant, in part because of the convenience, in part because my Giant card ends up saving me a lot of money on gas. But, since I'm in Falls Church, I have a lot of Asian grocery stores I spend a fair amount of time in as well: Grand Ma...

Aaaaahhhh!!! No Cher! No Cher! I declare this a Cher-free zone!
God, it'll be September before I get that damn thing out of my head.
I want to hear a song that makes me believe there's something to believe in
There was a point in my life when I thought nothing could have more meaning than music. This point, of course, was during my teenage years in high school and college. At 16, even a Motley Crue song can carry some impressive emotional weight -- I, for one, thought Nikki Sixx to be an exceptionall...
Frankly, Christopher, unless you're the Amazing Kreskin, if you're assuming that Obama won't act on our issues until a future, uncertain, to-be-determined-by-an-election second term, then you're essentially assuming that he won't act at all.
Look, I'm a relative pragmatist who's open to horse-trading to get something passed. Problem is, the Democrats -- and anyone else, for that matter -- haven't shown they can get a goddamn thing passed since we banded together for Clinton back in 1992. Even with overwhelming public support, they've been too chickenshit to take a stand on our behalf.
Raising the importance of healthcare and diplomacy and finance is a ridiculously false dichotomy -- our government was not designed or created to deal with just one issue at a time. I've been listening to the "stop acting like drama queens" argument for 20 years -- I've even made it myself in the past -- and it's time to stop making excuses and start holding people accountable for their political promises.
Harry Reid doesn't care about you, so why should you care about him?
This hasn't been a really good week for someone like me, an early and eager gay supporter of Barack Obama. My patience had already been stretched thin by the hemming and hawing on repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," and was pretty much broken by the administration's surprisingly zealous brief in ...
Duuuude, I'm totally already a fan of World War Z. You need to read the short story omnibus The Living Dead, which totally rocks. Some amazing zombie stories, some with a very nice emotional punch. I really, really need to finish my zombie novel I've been putzing around with for ten years or so (75 percent done!).
As for Varley, I've never read his other work, but I devoured the Gaea trilogy as a kid. I'm sure my devotion to the books had nothing to do with the doubly (and enormously) endowed Centaurs.
The To-Be-Read Pile: Where'd all these homos come from, anyway?
A bookworm I may be, but I don't often read "gay" novels and such. That's in large part because my status as a professional homosexual means that my life is often overly saturated with gay-gay-gay, so I need a break. And, generally speaking, I'd prefer to take a gay break by reading non-gay-spec...
