One more week
Of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, that is. Think I'll keep the button up on the main page, and just change the text beneath it. Or change over to The Hunger Site. More to remind me to click the thing every day than anything, really.
Hard not to notice that, with the exception of Michele, right-wing blogs ain't take me up on the challenge of adding the button. At least one person, Kim du Toit (yes, we've heard all the jokes before, and yes, they're still funny), explained why in Michele's comments:
I prefer the Boobie-thon.Which reminds me: you don't have bad tatas, for an old broad.
I want to think he's not representative of. . . well, of anything.
Guess I could email some of the right-wingers about this, or ask someone with posting privileges to mention it on MetaFilter, but figure since Atrios had the entry, and still has the button in a very prominent place at his site, that this is common knowledge, and anyone who isn't participating has made a conscious decision not to.
You know. Like Mr. du Toit.
Still waiting on that homeschool shooting. . .

i'm starting to think i need to make it part of a list of "causes you should support right now" buttons. there's a lot of ribbons out there...have to ensure i don't turn it into "badvertising" through poor layout.

I think everyone who's given it any serious thought knows that Matrix Revolutions should've ended with Keanu waking up, pushing a floppy forelock of hair out of his eyes, rolling over, reaching across to the other twin bed in the dorm room, and saying:
"Bill! Bill! You'll never believe this! I just had the most EXCELLENT dream! I was this guy and I could fly like a superhero and DUDE! I was totally doin' it with this hot chick in black PVC but then the bad guys came and like -- whoa! -- BOGUS! There was one guy but he was like a hundred guys! Mean ugly guys in suits! But Dude! I killed them and then I flew away! It was EXCELLENT! Until the part where I died. That was BOGUS! But it was the most EXCELLENT dream..."

Ok, had avoided reading this until after I saw the movie.
Hanne, have I mentioned lately how very much you rule?
Well, it bears repeating.
Review forthcoming. Maybe.
