usy as hell with my real job you can also follow me on twitter as princessding i hope i ll be back by spring or when this monstrous legislative session is over cheers ding posted by delia christina at 10 37 am 4 comments labels blogginess life thursday january 29 2009 wabi sabi reclaiming the term born again via a link on twitter thanks shawna a cool read provocative piece on reclaiming the term born again quote because we now tend to interpret kingdom of g d to mean heaven we have interpreted this passage to mean becoming born again is how you get to heaven and because we put accepting the atonement of jesus at the absolute core of becoming a christian and we equate becoming a christian with going to heaven we have created a scenario whereby we assume if a implies b and b implies c then a must imply c becoming born again must be synonymous with becoming a christian because both are described as the gateway to entrance to heaven thus being born again must be a catch phrase to mean that we have accepted the atonement of jesus i believe this is flawed logic posted by delia christina at 5 25 pm 4 comments monday january 26 2009 befuddlement it s funny how when you think you finally have life by the tail things happen to muck it up i m sure this is the feeling gov blagojevich has as he begins his round of pr reputation recuperation interviews with major outlets this week look for him on the today show good morning america and larry king i know i said that i wouldn t malign those with genuine mental illnesses by calling him crazy but his behavior befuddles me when he s impeached and there s no doubt that he will be impeached by the end of this week and pat quinn will be our new governor by the beginning of february will he refuse to leave his office will he force security to eject him from his cushy digs in springfield will we be entertained mortified by a videotape of our impeached governor yelling and screaming while being forcibly ejected from the building or will he accept his fate and entertain mortify us with a final press conference which includes a dramatic reading of whitman s elegy to lincoln o captain my captain spent friday with ltf i brought back a souvenir from the inauguration for him he s a huge obama supporter and as i was taking a cab up to his place i couldn t help but think how this was something don draper from mad men would do come back from a trip and bring his long neglected mistress a little something to make things better i might as well accept it this thing with ltf befuddles me too on the work front my mentor has taken a leadership position with another very large non profit here in the city on one hand i m glad for her on the other i m wtf what does one do when one s mentor moves on i recognize that i enjoyed a special kind of professional privilege because of her willingness to trust me and back me up her departure leaves me vulnerable when the new ceo comes her strategic agenda could be very different and the structure of the agency could shift and not necessarily to my advantage needless to say the impending need to navigate tricky office politics leaves me feeling befuddled hmmm read the tea leaves with me this week the interim will be chosen it ll take at least 6 months for a new search for a competent ceo to conclude so i m estimating that it ll be absolutely crucial for me to have my next leap planned and in place by june which is also the end of the fiscal year and whatever agency saving cuts need to happen will probably take place around there anyway and since i m all overhead no matter my success with earmarks and appropriations this year or how generally kick ass i am i m on thin ice looks like my new year s resolution to be prepared will come in handy posted by delia christina at 9 26 am no comments labels illinois politics life ltf work friday january 23 2009 i m back from the inauguration fantastic inspiring awesome overwhelming cold freezing exhausting frakked perfect historic a relief glorious emotional hypothermia grueling torture awe inspiring once in a lifetime hilarious road trips with friends are always the best obama posted by delia christina at 9 06 am 1 comment labels inauguration obama thursday january 15 2009 cops some helpful tips i don t think i m the only one who gets a little bit more skeeved out when the cops are around it could be the loaded gun the knowledge that they could flip out have a flashback at any moment my natural suspicion of state authority or just my natural aversion to cold eyed dudes in uniform but it s helpful to keep one s cool when in the presence of the law one can t always rely on one s sweet looks or big vocabulary folks will say that this just makes civilian cop interaction needlessly adversarial i say it s forcing them to do their jobs correctly they take shortcuts because we the general public allow them to take shortcuts via the ella baker center for human rights some advice which i am going to snatch whole if the police stop you stay in control of your emotions and words don t physically resist keep your hands visible remain silent they have guns pepper spray and billy clubs your strongest weapon is your mind the less you say the better silence is not a crime ask am i free to go if they keep you you are being detained ask why are you detaining me to detain you the police must have concrete reasons to suspect your involvement in a specific crime if you re detained show id if you don t they can hold you for three days to id you or try to search you never consent to a search say loud and clear especially if there are any witnesses present i do not consent to a search don t resist physically don t open your bag for them it will count as consent to the search police may pat down your clothing if they suspect weapons or drugs or try to enter your home never consent to a search step outside lock the door behind you ask to see a warrant make sure it has the right information e g address and a judge s signature they can do only what the warrant allows them to warrants often limit the search to one room one day etc make sure they are complying with the warrant or stop you in your car stay calm again you do not have to answer any questions when they ask you show them your driver s license registration and proof of insurance tell the officer i do not consent to a search don t open your trunk or car door it will count as consent to a search of you and your property if they give you a ticket sign it otherwise you can be arrested fight the ticket in court later if the police suspect you of drunk driving and you refuse to take a blood urine or breath test your license can be suspended if the police arrest you do not answer any questions until a lawyer arrives to represent you say only i choose to remain silent and i want to talk to my attorney the police may handcuff search photograph and fingerprint you do not talk about your case to anyone except your attorney if you see or experience police brutality remain calm write down the details of the incident badge numbers and names of witnesses immediately get a medical report immediately as well as photographs documenting any injuries or property damaged always be a witness always be a witness for a friend relative or stranger stop and watch record the officer s name badge number and car number write down the time the place who said what and who did what if the officer tells you to leave say i have the right to observe from a safe distance assure them i m not trying to interfere key points don t talk to the police if arrested say i choose to remain silent and i want to talk to my attorney never consent to a search of your person vehicle home or property if the police search you state loudly i do not consent to a search document and report police misconduct are these tips going to stop a bullet no but rights are rights and we have to start exercising them some time posted by delia christina at 10 56 am no comments labels authority lawandorder police violence tuesday january 13 2009 who s oscar grant we are for that matter we are dymond milburn and michael cho sometimes a person gets tired of saying all the things that need to be said it s horrific it s sad it s enraging it s awful something should be done about it yes something should what i wrote to a facebook friend who was trying to make sense of this shooting in the context of obama s presidency and the upcoming inaugural celebrations race is part of this shooting but the larger picture is the relationship of the state as represented by the pseudo militarized arm of the law to the individual although people of color are most likely to experience violence by armed authorities there s a particular mindset or value system from the state that authorizes control over the individual in the interest of the state that affects all of us regardless of color in other words the violence of this episode is just a small part of the other types of violence enacted against populations the state deems undesirable based on class race sexuality gender nationality or religion the state is about asserting authority by maintaining its power power is about control over individuals to cow the populace into submission and that shooting is about power run amok you re not short sighted and these two things don t have to be diametrically opposed at all which comes first the chicken state or the egg racism in my view they each are signs of the other both supporting the ends of the other racism and all the other associated isms that go along with it colonialism imperialism nationalism jingoism has been used like a handy tool by the state nation state to justify genocide mass murder mass displacement land theft asset theft slavery etc but on the micro level individual racists have hidden behind the symbols of the state to commit acts of personal hatred in the name of the state so i d say it s a matter of both and not either or in a conversation with my father before i flew back to chicago after christmas we were talking about a family friend s son his close call with the sherriff s department in porter ranch and what s at play when police are caught abusing their power two older men clearly ex law enforcement sat next to us while we ate breakfast in la you can always tell who s been a cop white or of color they all have that no bullshit soldier face and give off a sense that they can jump off at any moment they were not pleased at my conversation my father is an ex lapd chaplain and very much on the side of law order but lately there have been too many incidents of young black men he knows barely escaping bullshit arrest and beat downs at the hands of police escaping because of my father s intervention he was of the mind that race is the primary motivator i shook my head it is and it isn t it s really about the state controlling the individual race is a convenient narrative for the victim the media even the police department to sell but if we re at all honest about how power works and in whose interest we re all under the boot white folks think they re safe because they re not black or brown or they live in good neighborhoods and the cops don t shoot them in the street like dogs bullshit you think the police couldn t wouldn t lock down la now the way they did in 92 during the riots whose interests are protected by all these acts of police brutality they re hate crimes created to cow the populace into submission and it works we allow them to videotape us enter our homes without cause search our cars surveil our neighborhoods and we say ok to all of it because they carry a gun and a baton sure it s race but it s about class sexuality politics and mostly about suppressing resistance suppressing criticism and we let them do it my dad had a funny look on his face girl where do your ideas come from i rolled my eyes you next to us the two ex cops paid
