Fraize Dotcom

While there’s certainly nothing wrong with my wonderful old hosting service, Dreamhost, I’ve found that I really do like some of the new services that Apple provides in their MobileMe offering. The tight integration with iPhoto, iMovie, and iWeb are especially nice.

So, I’ve moved my domain again, and updated the look and feel of my blog to reflect the new templates and doodads available to me.

Expect to see more photos, videos, and podcasts as I get my more creative side freed up from the drudgery of maintaining the technical side of things.

I am absolutely disgusted with people right now. Seriously. The whole “lipstick on a pig” so-called controversy is driving me crazy.

The republican smear machine is claiming that Barack O’Bama called Sarah Palin a “pig” when he used the following quote:

**”You can put lipstick on a pig,” he said as the crowd cheered. “It’s still a pig. You can wrap an old fish in a piece of paper called change. It’s still gonna stink.”**

But the outrage from the right is hysterical! “OMG HE JUST CALLED PALIN A PIG! BLATANT SEXISM!!” they scream as they wring their hands and rend their clothing.

No, he didn’t, and if you think so, you’re stupid.

I know I’m not going to win any friends by saying that, but seriously! How dumb can you be? Don’t you understand what that phrase means? He was referring to the “change” mantra adopted by the “new” Republican party. The lipstick in this metaphor is the mantra. The pig is the Republican party.

If you still can’t get past Obama’s comment, then maybe you had better have a look at this:
