Women Are Replaceable: Sarah Palin

I love being right.
John McCain is about to exploit something about women that, deep down, everyone knows to be true: they’re replaceable. This woman in some “Hillary supporters for Obama” group summed it up best:
Does John McCain think that women are just Lego blocks? Like he can just swap out a red one for a [...]

Fucked Up Story of the Year: Rachel Hoffman

Here’s the link to the 20/20 story. Text article here.
The basics of the story are this:

23 year old FSU graduate gets busted for marijuana possession
She goes to drug court, gets 1 year probation
Her apartment gets raided, where cops find 4 ounces of marijuana (~$1000 worth) and 6 ecstasy pills (maybe $100) and tell her she [...]

The Best Interracial Couples

With election season at hand and both sides telling us how bad America is, it’s time to look at something America kicks the rest of the world’s ass at: interracial dating. Of course, mixed-race superiority (Tiger Woods, Barack Obama, and half-Asian girls worldwide) is becoming more and more apparent and, unsurprisingly, interracial marriages are becoming [...]

Obama’s VP

I think when he said “I want someone who will challenge me every step of the way”, he made it pretty clear that Joe Biden is going to be the guy. Especially with the deadlock in the polls, I don’t see another way he could go. Last I saw, sportsbooks.com had Biden at +300. I [...]

A Real Badass

From an existentialist point of view, a badass is someone who doesn’t think or worry about the thoughts or feelings of others and concerns themselves with what ‘is’ instead of what was or what could be. These people tend not to have the types of qualities that appear to be endemic to other human beings, [...]

Justifying My Fear of Cars

I shouldn’t have to justify my fear of getting hit by a car as a pedestrian. They’re huge and fast objects controlled by human beings of questionable sobriety who have no real qualifications other than being over the age of 16. However, a shocking majority of people have no fear of getting steamrolled by Jose [...]

The Metric System is Not ‘Better’

To continue my war on people who pretend to know Science, I have to attack a growing group of people whose lips have a very special place on my ass: people who think the metric system is fundamentally perfect as a system of measurement.
If you feel like this, you probably think that the meter (metre) [...]

‘Science’ is Worse Than Religon

“The funny thing about ideas is that they’re outdated well before they’re abandoned” – DC Hero
In 1543, Nicholas Copernicus published a book that proved mathematically what the Greeks, Indians, Muslims, and an untold number of other ancient civilizations had known but never fully explained: that the Sun is at the center of the Universe. This [...]

Listen Sunshine, Give Me a Second Here

Lewis Black said that blogging is like jerking off in front of a mirror, and videotaping it so you can jerk off to it later. I don’t really get it, but I think it’s fucking hilarious. Here are some blog posts that I started writing, but never actually materialized into anything more than a sentence [...]

How John McCain Will Win

If you told me 3 months ago that John McCain could beat Barack Obama, I would have laughed at you. But what about picking a woman, a hot-for-44 woman, as VP: Governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin? I mean, wouldn’t all the Hillary backers jump ship and vote for McCain unless Obama picked Hillary for VP? [...]
