Posted on April 11, 2011 by Sabina Becker

Yesterday, this movie review crossed my sights. At least, that’s what I think it’s trying to be, although it comes across as…well, see for yourself: Who is John Galt? He’s the Han Solo of the most important movie flop of … Continue reading →

A few random thoughts on Libya…

Posted on March 20, 2011 by Sabina Becker

…for whatever it’s worth: 1. I am most emphatically NOT in favor of Moammar Gaddafi. The man is a son of a bitch. And he’s been just about everyone’s son-of-a-bitch at some point, including the CIA’s. I will never be … Continue reading →

Posted on February 16, 2011 by Sabina Becker

I got unfriended on Facebook today by someone I’ve known for less than a week. Big fucking deal, right? Happens all the time. Means she wasn’t really my friend to begin with, blah blah blah. True, true, and sad-but-true. And … Continue reading →
