• Commented on Happy 5770!
  Dear Boing Boing, I'm Jewish and loved the clip. Thanks! And at this time Eid for Muslims (the end of Ramadan) how I wish you found a way to commemorate that somehow. Muslims in the US are in a less...
• Commented on Crazy organic bread-slicer sign for crazy organic bread eaters
  I think the sign is pretty stupid, but it makes me sad that BB'ers use it as a stepping stone to making fun of Jews who care about Kashrut. I'm not very strict myself, but I do care, and having...
• Commented on Kid keeping a lending library of banned books in <s>his</s> her locker
  This guy is a hero. I'd love to see him involved in a free speech lawsuit!...
• Favorited Bus tours of AIG executives' homes on Boing Boing
• Commented on "Marx was Right!"
  Thank you for this. Folks should be able to tell the difference between Marx as prophet and Marxism as a political ideology. They aren't as closely connected as you might think.......
• Commented on Bus tours of AIG executives' homes
  #50 Stop lying about ACORN. They signed tons of new voters, sorted the paperwork, and placed the crazy looking ones in a special box marked 'we think these might be a problem.' The LAW forces them to turn in every...
• Commented on Bus tours of AIG executives' homes
  #17 "I, for one, can't wait to see the meek tear that f*cker down, and shake the very core of these damn greedy bankers and the ghosts of neo-con past." That might not be the official strategy, but yes. That's...

• Commented on R. Crumb's Book of Genesis coming in 2009
  Religious folks will not object to the medium of sequential art being used to convey holy writings. This has been done for a long time.......
• Commented on Waltz With Bashir
  Xeni, I wanted to write you to say thank you. BoingBoing in general and you in particular have veered somewhat off the topic of 'wonderful things' to focus on Gaza, Israel, and Palestine. It's important, and doesn't come without risk....
• Commented on LOTR/Narnia-inspired music video
  Why is he referred to as a 'rocker'? That makes no sense. Even for the 80s....
• Commented on What do you call the shop on the corner?
  Not that anyone cares... In Israel it's "Pitzuchiya" (place to buy nuts and sunflower seeds) "Kyosk" (kiosk) and "Makolet" (local small grocery store, never a chain)...
• Commented on UK's plan to allow for arbitrary 42-day imprisonment without charge is dead(ish)
  how come Amnesty is lobbying in the UK? I thought that the UK chapter would be prohibited from engaging in lobbying, following the principle that Amnesty mobilizes opinion in OTHER COUNTRIES. When did that change? Are there any limits to...

  Disinfo was great - welcome! Please help bring the rain that will wash this nightmare away.......
• Commented on John Lydon's butter commercial
  Makes me sad. Who (sniff) is left?...
• Commented on Support schools directly with DonorsChoose!
  Antinous, thanks for your support. I'm actually not able to take the money and energy from DonorsChoose and redirect it as I suggested above, because it's not my operation. Perhaps with the combined might of our two voices, the founders...
• Commented on Support schools directly with DonorsChoose!
  So, transferring the burden of public education to random donors is a good thing? Why not take the money and energy this site captures and use it to support an educational system in which bake sales and other forms of...
• Commented on My-- *Our* BoingBoing Future
  BoingBoing has features stories about things that could have sparked a collective response. Like 'International Photographer's Day.' Right now, there is no good mechanism for that. I'd like to see the bloggers and guest bloggers like you use things like...
• Commented on Discuss a different sf author every day during the Science Fiction Message Board's Author August
  Ian Banks, Ian M. Banks - he so good. Glad to see him recognized. I grew up reading all that great stuff from the 60s, and sort of couldn't get into the new SF authors that emerged later on -...
• Commented on Photographers stand up for your rights in LA, June 1
  I'm hoping folks try and do actions across the country - and the world. Host your own Photographers' Rights Day event....
