Ok, so spring is one of my favorite seasons. I love the smell and the daffodils and the sun rising earlier in the morning and even the birds that twitter outside our windows as the sun rises ( Read more... )

So I just read NPRs reporting that Justice Souter is retiring and I, I honestly thought ( Read more... )

Because "teh stupid" is apparently sexually transmissible. Since there's presently a g-d measles outbreak in my city, is it appropriate to tell Mr. Carrey that while his rhetoric will prevent exactly NO cases of autism*, it will cause several untimely deaths of children (whose parents don't know any better), those with egg allergies, those with ( Read more... )

So I was all up in arms yelling at the TV this weekend while watching This Week with the Snuffaluffagus (note to A.: I did not throw anything at said TV, even if you weren't there. Aren't you proud of me?). Now, the guests were Rahm Emanuel and Rep. Boehner, but I was being all bipartisan and yelling at the both of them! Of course, it was for ( Read more... )

No, not Southwest the airline - as they pissed me off long ago and never again will I wait in line for an g-d unreserved airline seat like freakin' cattle. It's worth the 30 bucks to me to not get elbowed in the face by an over-zealous road warrior. I mean, I fly enough and am insanely impatient and still manage to not be that obnoxious. I think.

Alright, a couple of weeks ago, a friend of mine posted about some trash talking physicists over at Fermi Labs taunting the guys at CERN for their broke ass LHC. I wanted a rap battle to come out of it, esp after the awesomeness that was the LHC rap. Alas, Fermi Labs had better things to do so instead I get this:

I am thoroughly entertained. ( Read more... )

So, since my own boss called me an Obama groupie last week, I kept a lid on this for a few days because I was so damn happy that I knew when I spoke about it I would sound like a total fan-girl ( Read more... )

My father always told me to drink "gin and not vodka, that way people will know you're drunk and not just stupid". It's his variant of 'better to remain silent and have people think you're stupid than open your mouth and prove it'. The reason why I bring this up is that the Senate passed the DC voting rights bill yesterday, But Jon Kyl went and ( Read more... )
