Odds and ends

This thing is awesome.

So I need to ask what's up with Arizona? This whole citizenship thing weirds me out a little. What I do not get, is that a lot of people on the right, mainly Tea Baggers, who I do realize are on the extreme right, and are not indicative of the majority(or so they would like you to believe), thought it was fun to compare Obama's health care overhaul to practices of Nazi Germany. Take this little exchange with Barney Frank from a town hall meeting:




So then when Arizona decided to adopt a practice that Nazi Germany actually did use, and few in your party bat an eyelash. Some defend it. Including McCain:

"This law is a response to the president's and the administration's failure to secure our borders," McCain said.

So your party in your own state come up with a blatantly racist policy, and you blame a black guy who has nothing to do with your State's legislature. Nice.

You stay classy, Arizona.

In other news:

G4 held a car wash to raise money for the Make a Wish Foundation. The best car wash ever.

In which I phone it in...

So I haven't posted in a while but I think that's because not much is going on. We were supposed to take a trip to Kansas City with Jen's parents, but decided that it would be cost prohibitive. So we just stayed home. We are still slowly renovating our house, and have spent the past few weekends working on small projects and trying to get the yard in order. So... that's exciting.

I did win an award a few weeks ago. It's from the AP. They held a little regional contest, and the editors from the newspapers in the region submitted work on behalf of their people. I won First Place for Graphics/Illustration. I even got a little plaque in the shape of Oklahoma. They had a nice awards ceremony at the Hard Rock Casino, and I was treated to free Newcastle all night. So now you can call me "The Award Winning Jason Powers".

That is all.
