My friend Buffy ( http://gaytheistagenda.lavenderliberal.com/ ) recently emailed my a rather amusing assumption about Satanists. What's worrying is not this particular display of non-joined-up thinking but that people still seem to have these ideas so let's go through some ( Read more... )

I wonder sometimes... The people we have lost touch with as our lives grew on, do we remember them fondly because times were good or because we lost contact with them before the relationship could inevitably sour ( Read more... )

Jim Ross blogged something yesterday that I actually agree with. He discussed the problem of concussions in sports, pointed out that the WWE is hardly unique in that regard (which is fair comment) but finished up with the comment that deliberate chair shots to the skull should be forbidden in wrestling. And I couldn't agree more ( Read more... )

Cheeses, are we still going with this crap? Seriously? OK, let's debunk the myths one more time:

"government takeover" - No, fail, wrong. The bill currently being debated does not comprise a "government takeover" of anything. Now, I don't think a government takeover would be all that bad. I live under government healthcare here in Britain and, ( Read more... )

Firstly, am I the only person who really doesn't care about Carrie Prejean's masturbation tape? Actually, there's apparently several but I still don't care. Thing is, Prejean is just another tan, silicon Barbie with fake tits and huge teeth and if you've seen one blonde bimbo, you've seen them all. You can find more attractive and more interesting ( Read more... )

I don't know how long I'm going to be able to keep this up. Waking up every day, wishing I never woke up at all. Having to jump through hoops for what little money I get from the state because I'm incapable of working. I've already been classified as "limited" capability for work. My doctor, my shrink and the DLA decision board feel I shouldn't be ( Read more... )

So, a health insurance lobbyist was doing some kind of townhall meeting. The lobbyist has been heavily involved in lobbying against the public option. Somebody stands up and shouts "Thank you, sir", and then, things get really weird (but tuneful)... Leave a comment
