The Parallel: Deaf Protest 2006 & Presidential Election 2008
Under The Hill Back in May of 2006, as the students, the faculty, staff and the deaf community were protesting the choice of Jane K. Fernandez as the next president of Gallaudet, I began to observe, research and understand what had transpired in the events prior to the protest, with a wide range of substantiated and unsubstantiated information [...]

Leaving DeafRead? Nope!
Under The Hill Someone named Jason “Mr. Anonymous” Miller left me a seething comment in one of my blogs: You are a real traitor to the American deaf community for leaving the DeafRead.com without letting us, regular DR readers. O-kaee. That made me puzzled. I have never left DeafRead.com nor I put in any such request to DR editors to [...]

Helen Killer? Deaf-Blind Super-Agent?
Under The Hill I don't know if this is going to amuse or anger the deaf community, so here goes nothing: there's a new comic book limited series called Helen Killer, deaf-blind super professional assassin. Yes, you read it right. All about Helen Keller, the most famous deaf-blind woman in the past century, but in this completely fictionalized [...]

ASL Idol 2008 on TV!
Under The Hill Presenting the ASL Idol 2008 on CSD-TV website. Enjoy! Note: ASL Idol 2008 was taped by CSD-TV at Westerville Central High School, north of Columbus, Ohio on March 15th, 2008. It was a sell-out.

Under The Hill Robrief no. 1: Polar bears can tough it out Polar bears are amazing, hardy survivors and quite very capable in surviving and adapting in the harshest, ever-changing, ever-shifting environment. There have been a recent spate of alarms and concerns about polar bears in the media due to nonsensical global warming hype. Especially the last week's announcement [...]

2008 Disability Forum in Ohio, No Deaf Org Rep?
Under The Hill National Association of the Deaf is not involved in it. Neither does AGBell organizaiton. Not even the local or regional deaf community or organization is involved as well. I guess the 2008 National Forum of Disability Issues to be held in Columbus, Ohio on July 26th doesn't seem that important to the deaf/HoH community out [...]

Under The Hill Robrief no. 1: “Sweet Nothing In My Ear” movie was okay The CBS Hallmark movie last night, “Sweet Nothing In My Ear”, which starred the amazing Marlee Matlin and centered around the controversy of cochlear implant was, in my opinion, okay. Not impressive enough to compel me to stay really interested in the movie throughout. Cochlear [...]

The End of Deaf Culture?
Under The Hill UPDATE 4.2.2008: This is a repost from yesterday's blog that didn't make DeafRead. See important note below after this blog. Before I graduate from Gallaudet in 1995, I participated in the MacDougall Creative Writing contest for the English Department by submitting a short story about the future of genetic-engineering and the end of deaf [...]

Robriefs 3.10.2008: No more blogs?
Under The Hill Robrief no. 1: Most Americans don't read blogs, political or otherwise Those 56% of Americans don't read your blogs. Only 22% do but most of them are senior citizens. That's just too bad but that ain't stopping me from blogging! As because there are hungry readers out there, I have a lot of red meats, vegetables [...]

Hlibok’s French Revolution Example for DPN Event?
Under The Hill Yesterday, I watched the guest vlog statement of Greg Hlibok via the KISS-FIST ASL blog. While watching it, Mr. Hlibok used two examples to describe the Deaf President Now of 1988 for comparative, idealistic purposes: the French Revolution and the 1960s Civil Rights movement. The overall vlog was a very nice presentation by one of [...]

Call out to deaf Jews and deaf Arabs in Israel
Under The Hill I had just read a National Post article written by the Israeli ambassador to Canada, Alan Baker, describing the “poisonous myth of Israeli apartheid”. I know for a fact that Israel is one of the two major liberal democratic states in the Middle East (the other is Turkey, although with a mixture of secular and [...]

YouTube closing to silence dissent?
Under The Hill One of these days, AGBAD could seriously brand Deaf/ASL activists as “extremists” promoting an ideologically-based “violence” and radicalization, only in form of free speech and criticism against AGB.org. See this video below, implying that YouTube.com could be closed due to a possible passage of H.R.1955, - although the title suggested a sensa...

This is how far and desperate Al Qaeda militants in Iraq are willing to go: by using two women who have Down's Syndrome, strapped them with explosive packages, instructed them to walk into two pet markets in Baghdad and [...]

Expounding the Facts on ADA Myths
Under The Hill After work, I bought few supplies for my cat, including a cosmic country catnip pouch. So I threw the pouch to my cat, Belle and she went cat-crazy with it! So hilarious to see her hissing, clawing at it, crouching around it as if there's a live mouse struggling to escape the clutches of a [...]

How about all-deaf cast in MTV’s “The Real World”?
Under The Hill MTV is looking for young deaf adults to “play” in MTV's “True Life”. Phooey to that! How about an all-deaf cast in the next Real World series instead?! Seven young deaf adults from all over living in a total cool, fancy-schmancy dig somewhere in the United States, having fun with each other, getting drunk and horny [...]

Have To Be Deaf-Related Blogs Only Or What?
Under The Hill Just read up Paotie's hilarious and snarky post about his slamming comment on DBC and the negative reactions he attracted. He took issue with DeafRead's neutrality issue and the ambiguous sentiments of the human editors, possibly reacting to the fallout from John Egbert's ill-conceived and foolish proposal to DeafRead editors to root out “defic...
