“I’m a hardcore geek.”
-Emile Hirsch
Kurt Vonnegut once said, ”I want to stay as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all kinds of things you can’t see from the center.” A seductive statement, especially for an actor
The last time audiences saw actor Emile Hirsch, hed abandoned all his material possessions and went by the name Alexander Supertramp. He was stubborn, deathly emaciated, living alone on an broken down bus, in the middle of the Alaskan wilderness, seeking lifes truths. His portrayal of real-life adventurer Christopher McCandless in Sean Penn’s Into the Wild scored the young actor a hell of a lot of attention, and more so, Oscar buzz.

“Can I just vent for a fucking moment?
I was not allowed to leave my recovery program until I was a “healthy” 120 lbs.
Tonight, the “Biggest Loser” was awarded $250,000 for being 117 lbs.
What the FUCK is wrong with this picture????”
(Anonymous blogger)
With the hypocritical and oppressive ‘beauty machine’ of America in full-swing, girls are getting “thinspiration” off food blogs and Pro-Ana sites; detouring off the deep end instead of finding their way into recovery. Even Portia de Rossi’s memoir Unbearable Lightness and the stick figures of Black Swan can serve as a “how to” for low self esteem. And this begs the question. Women – aren’t we just too dang valuable to level our self-worth by countable ribs?

“I’ve kind of grown up and become less afraid of sincerity.”
-Christina Ricci
Actress Christina Ricci has always been a bit obsessed with historys Eleanor of Aquitaine. Rumor has it that the 12th Century Queen ran a cult of courtly love in France that practiced the radical ideology that a marriage without love was no marriage at all. Eleanor, naturally, was charged with heresy by the Catholic Church and spent 15 years wasting away in a prison cell.

When the Republicans took over the House of Representatives, it was with a promise to balance the budget and take back the old time values of our Founding Fathers. So far the GOP’s best efforts to reduce spending has been to try to cut funding to NPR and PBS, redefine rape under the law, and now they want to take away essential medical services from women nationwide.
Yep, that’s right, the latest Republican brainstorm was proposed by Representative Mike Pence of Indiana. It would pull all Federal funding from Planned Parenthood, which was given $363 million dollars last year by the government, and helped treat or give medical services to millions of Americans.
Started in the 1920’s by Margaret Sanger, Planned Parenthood provides medical services ranging from birth control to cancer screening to pregnancy testing and counseling, as well as STD testing and treatment, and yes – that word Republicans hate so much – abortion. While the funding from the government never directly goes towards abortions, the money does fund clinics who provide those services, and that’s fundamentally why Republicans are after the organization.
