Uhhh I am a vegan and have been going to Chipotle for years. I have ALWAYS known that the pinto beans are not vegetarian. This is the type of dude that gives vegans a bad name.

THERE’S OIL ON THE MOON!
What can be said against a fun family outing to the moon?

Pardon my soapbox, but every minute this budget debate goes longer is another moment some kid somewhere in a city or in the country is poor and starving. A true politician with the interests of the people would ignore the party lines and think about the jobless and the hungry. It’s incredible that even the most respected of our elected officials cannot stand up and say “enough is enough, the American people need this budget”. Clearly, nobody has balls in Washington right now (except for non-government folk and post-hardcore bands).
Words Americans use to describe the federal budget debate.
The opinion-poll numbers are here.
Images like this are why I studied photojournalism.

Hey Philly - VOTE TUESDAY MAY 17!
Found this bike light rubber banded to my handlebars last night from Civilized Bikers. I met the Civilized Biker dude who asked me to vote Jeff Hornstein for City Council District 1 on Tuesday. I checked this dude out and his Facebook is legit.
Candidate #2, Vern Anastasio has a site with ideas that sound awful out of context. I’m talking about “Create an ‘Emerald Necklace’ of Parks along the Waterfront” and “Establish Operation Shovel & Broom”. This dude clearly doesn’t have his messaging together. Does anyone have good things to say about this guy?
The other Democratic candidate is Joe Grace, the Inquirer’s pick with a Pledge to the LGBT Community. Grace is talking about no more SEPTA gender stickers, right to choose and genuine equal rights for all. His language is no BS and he has a good track record with the LGBT community here in Philly. Does this mean he likes bikes too? Probably. Are gay rights and abortion rights more important than bike rights? Uh, yeah!
Committee of Seventy is the place to check out the business for elections tomorrow. They also have a utility to find your polling place. No matter what your views are, you should vote. I’m going to take some time and think about it, because a lot of us here live in Philadelphia. Are you voting tomorrow?
Thoughts on Giffords and Guns
My heart’s goin’ out to those who need it in the wake of what happened in Arizona. This country is whack and the second amendment should be repealed. Nobody needs guns, nobody should kill animals for sport, nothing really needs to die at the hands of anybody else. We should all hold hands and stay strong and be together as human beings instead of hating on each other. It will never happen but I like to say it because I am a secret hippie.
I hope this pseudo-gaff on the part of Team Palin prevents Sarah from running in 2012.
Got A Girl Crush On: Rep. Gabrille Giffords
Not only was she the youngest woman (and first Jew) elected to Arizona senate (at age 30), she is also a huge pro-biking advocate. Our thoughts go out to Gabrille and her family in her recovery!!
DC.StreetsBlog post on Rep. Gabrielle Giffords’ cycling advocacy.
Giffords herself rides a custom-made bike with her name in western-style rope on the top tube and an Arizona flag. A member of the Congressional Bike Caucus, she bike commutes to the Capitol from her home in Washington.
She admits “she’ll yell at motorists who pull out in front of her or cut her off when she is on her bike and but says most of the time they don’t mean to do it, they are in their own world and aren’t looking for cyclists”. (full article)
