Charitini’s back!

Dec 27 2011 ∞

Charitini’s back after! One person noticed - my mom. Backstory: For the past week, Charitini.com has annoyingly pointed to something called Accel Studios. The dude from Accel had no idea what happened, and his claim that he did not hack my wildly popular secondary tumblr was substantiated by the fact that his own website is itself defunct. My pal & helpmate Phil Bump fixed it for me. Something happened on Dec. 11th and either I was hacked or I clicked some weird link. In any case, going back over my browser history for Dec. 11th was harrowing. Do I really spend that much time on the Internet?!? Geesh.

Anyway, Ma, here is Charitini, for when you are bored of my Twitter.

#LAExodus (and my song) makes The Desert Sun, my parents’ winter hometown paper. They are proud. You can just make out “Rachel Sklar of Los Angeles” in the 5th para. Yay factchecking! (Taken with instagram)

Um, something weird is going on with my tumblr.

Validation: Being written about in your university magazine. My time at U of T was such a petri dish of awesome.

“ Imagine, if you will, a man who, as Speaker of the House, orchestrates the impeachment of a President for an adulterous affair with a White House aide twenty-six years his junior while he himself is conducting an adulterous affair with a congressional aide twenty-two years his junior, having earlier left the first of his three wives while she was hospitalized with cancer. Imagine a man who attributes these behaviors to “how passionately I felt about this country.” Imagine a man who, told he can’t sit in a front section of Air Force One, shuts down the government. Imagine a man who becomes the only House Speaker ever to be disciplined for ethics violations. Imagine a man who, in a country just staggering out of the worst recession of the past fifty years and facing the threat of worldwide economic collapse, proposes to hire small children to work as janitors, mopping floors and cleaning toilets in their schools (or their orphanages, perhaps). Imagine that man as Commander-in-Chief.
