New York Times : Afraid of Gun Crazed, 'Motley Carnivals of the Tea Pa
2010-08-10 19:00:00 -By Warner Todd Huston The New York Times sent Mattathias Schwartz to find out what was going on at Jack Dailey's firearms training camps across the country and what he found apparently made the writer fear that America was going to the lily white, revolutionary, tea party dogs. Schwartz went to learn about Jack Dailey's Appleseed Project firearms marksmanship training camps and what he found were folks of "uniformly white skin" whose ideas were influenced by those "motley carnivals of the Tea Party movement." And apparently Schwartz fears that they all want to institute a violent revolution in America. Yes, it's all about those scary "militias" despite that the Appleseed Project has no connection to any....

Feminist Carnivals
2008-11-13 21:10:00 I found out yesterday that my Access to Feminism post, about (dis)ableism in the feminist community has been featured in the 68th Carnival of Feminists. They have randomly called me Penny, but that doesn't matter, it's nice they spotted and included my post. The issue does need to be brought out into the open.There are some other interesting posts in the Carnival. What a crazy random happenstance talks about Feminist Dealbreakers - what constitutes a 'dealbreaker' in the relationships in her life. Behaviours or attitudes which force an end to a relationship with someone. For her, it can be people who claim to be feminist pro-lifers, for instance. Reading the post, and the discussion continues in the lengthy comments section, got me thinking. I realised I have different deal-breakers depending on who the person is! Most notably if they are new to my life I deal break quickly and firmly, for instance someone being anti-choice or pro-pornstitution writes them off instantly), wherea...
Posts from recent blog carnivals
2008-09-19 04:23:00 My post on 10 Alternatives to Retiring Abroad is featured in the 143rd Festival of Frugality at Living Almost Large. My post on Retirement milestones by Age is featured in the Carnival of Personal Finance #170 at The Personal Financier.Here are some articles from the two carnivals that I found interesting:Meet the Boring Young Millionaires at Watson Inc is about young millionaires who lead frugal lives.Everything you ever wanted to know about Asset allocation at Moolanomy gives a good summary of an important topic.Can I Still Fit in if I'm Frugal? at Retired At 47 is something I can relate to. I too have trouble relating to non-frugal friends and often find myself wishing that I knew more people like me.Another great post, also at Retired At 47, Forget About Doing What You Love gives this insightful advice: "Maximize your earnings potential in your early years. Then you can do what you love later."Originally published at Retire To India.
