I am sure you have heard the terrible news by now. There was a shooting Friday at the immigration center in Binghamton, NY. At first, the information came trickling out in dribbles and drabs. I heard a little here and there, but nothing substantial. Then, there were rumblings that the shooter was Vietnamese. The first… Continue Reading

Let’s Hear It From the Grrls!
Update: After re-reading this entry, I realized that I was even more disjointed than I had thought. I added a segue paragraph in the middle. This is a continuation of the last post. There is something I’ve noticed about being female that has really come to fruition with the advent of the inter-webs. See,… Continue Reading
A Kinder, Gentler asiangrrl
No, not really. Just worn out. I couldn’t sleep last night, and with all the crap that has gone on the last couple days concerning the ‘flats, I am emotionally spent. First, the good news. AKM has posted! I knew that she would eventually, but I just wasn’t sure when. AKM is pushing on,… Continue Reading
Yup. Still Mad. Mike Doogan is an Asshole.
Update: I am changing anonymous to ‘using a pseudonym’ where appropriate. Whabs has an excellent blog entry as to the difference. I will be exploring more on this issue in today’s entry. The Mudflats site was a sanctuary for me during the last silly season. I had no idea who the fuck Sarah Palin was,… Continue Reading
Let’s Step into Fantasyland
I wrote briefly yesterday about AIG handing out $165 million in bonuses to the very employees who drove the company (and our economy) into the ground. Today, there is rage and fury and a whole lot of indignation going around. “How can they do that?” “What are they thinking?” “Don’t they have any decency?” In… Continue Reading
Oppression Olympics
Because I am in a pissy mood today, here is a video from Margaret Cho. It has nothing to do with anything, but it’s funny to me, so you get to see it. If you are insulted by salty language and such, well then why the fuck are you reading me? So consider yourself warned. Continue Reading
Do NOT Feed the Trolls
Today, I want to introduce a topic that bemuses me, somewhat bewilders me, and ultimately, bewilders me: internet trolls. When I first got on ‘the nets’ more than a decade ago, I had a free AOL credit thing, so I used it. I logged in as Asiangrrl (yes, I stick to a name once I… Continue Reading
Here, Chickie, Chickie, Chickie
Ed. Note: This was written awhile ago, but I still stand by every word. Chick lit. Chick flick. Anything with the word ‘chick’ in it makes me cringe because it is usually said disparaging, and usually by men. It seems to be the most disdainful thing in the word to real men who would rather… Continue Reading
And the Oscar Goes To…
I am still very sick. However, I feel like writing something new. Therefore, I am going to do a post about the Oscars. Why the Oscars? Well, first of all, they were on last night. Secondly, it’s a light topic that I don’t have to think about too hard. Thirdly, I want to write about… Continue Reading
In Praise of Huey Freeman
Ed Note: The Boondocks is no longer with us in the cartoon form, and I haven’t seen the series, so I can’t comment about that. 6:31 p.m. 1/7/05 What’s this I feel coming on? Is it a rant? No, it’s a rave! How novel. How unexpected! I actually have something good to say about something… Continue Reading
