So I'm at the supermarket, and I want to buy some Bertolli pasta, because of their gay-friendy ads. There's lots and lots of Barilla pasta (they of the gay-unfriendly gaffe), and lesser quantities of various other brands. Don't see any Bertolli ( Read more... )

This is a post I saw yesterday on Tumblr. I don't think it needs any introduction.

A few years ago my boyfriend was working at a restaurant with the word Street in its name. One night he was tasked with creating some flyers for an upcoming event they were putting on. Problem was that he couldn't figure out how to spell "Street". He grabbed one of his work shirts but was convinced that street was misspelled on it. He even made a ( Read more... )

At least I hope that one was sarcastic. On the other ( Read more... )

Because, haven't you heard, Liberals = Hitler!

(I seriously can't believe that there are people who actually believe that to be true. And share it on Facebook. And then argue back "you're reactionary" when getting pointed out why that is stupid, with a ton of arguments, such as "Gun control legislation does not equal being responsible for the death ( Read more... )

Here in Portland, the issue of putting fluoride in water has come up. Which came as a shock to me; I've lived in so many cities, and they all did fluoride in the water, that I naturally assumed that every city in the Western world was already doing it. After all, it's proven to be a safe and cheap means of preventing tooth decay, and the only ( Read more... )

Saw this in my local paper this week, and I just had to share it with you guys....

The gist of the link:

A dude drives to our local RCMP detachment to pick up his buddy from the drunk tank.  The cops see him bobbing and weaving, and give him a breathalyzer test.  He tests at over TWICE the legal limit, and is arrested on the spot for drunk ( Read more... )
