I was going to post about this the first time it happened but then figured, eh, it was probably an isolated incident. But then it happened again!
Apparently, in addition to checking your bags, making sure you don’t have dangerous items such as bombs, big bottles of liquid, knives and guns, Southwest Airlines wants to make [...]

Another installment of Put the Video Camera Down!
I saw this and wanted to shoot myself. Would any girl actually respond to this guy? For the sake of women everywhere, I hope not.
Maybe I’m wrong. Is this the future of dating? God help us.

Remember that question (asked of Miss Teen USA South Carolina) about how American students were having trouble finding the United States on the map?
(Via David Kurtz at TPM) Here’s President Bush talking about Southern Louisiana:
“[T]he taxpayers and people from all around the country have got to understand the people of this part of the world [...]
Posted in What the Fuck?, bar life on August 28, 2007 | No Comments »
The Ann Arbor News has an article out today about how the city of Ann Arbor is considering using “public nuisance” laws to close down bars in order to cut down on “after hours fighting.”
At that meeting, Mayor John Hieftje said that it was believed some bars just throw out violent patrons into the street [...]

The State of New Mexico is investigating the CBS show “Kid Nation” to see if it broke any laws in respect to work permits, contracts, and refusing to allow inspectors onto the property while filming.
What caught my eye was the description of the premise of the show.
Sisneros said officials became aware of the show — [...]

A growing buzz. It’s been bandied about for awhile now. Remember “the list?” And more recently the Seymour Hersh articles in the New Yorker.
Now former CIA agent Bob Baer says that the Bush Administration will order attacks on Iran within the next 6 months. And John Bolton, the former U.N. Ambassador and all-around asshole (my [...]

We all know there are men out there who don’t think women are much good for anything other than being available for sex whenever and however they want it. Roissy in DC takes this one step further and says women aren’t even good for that — at least, not as good as inanimate objects.
It [...]

In response, in part, to my earlier post and to Rick Perlstein (who replies in turn), David Horowitz asks if the left knows who the enemy is.
Before I answer in more detail, let me also draw everyone’s attention to something else I posted earlier because a similar theme can be drawn from the Minutemen video [...]

Via Rick Perlstein.
Orcinus has a video up which shows a Minuteman actually shooting and (it seems) killing an illegal immigrant sneaking into the country. The clip is shot with a night vision lens and depicts the Minuteman conversing with a buddy over the radio.
After shooting the illegal immigrant, for a moment, you get sense of [...]

In response to Brides Decide, a new get-out-the-vote Web site aimed at brides and sponsored by the Knot, the Nest and the Wedding Channel, Tracy Clark-Flory at Broadsheet asks: At what point is it no longer an admirable attempt at targeting female voters but an insult to womankind?
Um, I think this IS that point. Since [...]

After banning the use of the word nigger last month, elected officials in NYC are now suggesting banning use of the word bitch as well. Because if people can’t say racist or sexist words, the sentiments behind these words will cease to exist, obviously.
While the bill also bans the slang word “ho,” the b-word [...]

Oh my god, they’re on to us. That’s right. The largest “pro-life” organization in the world, Human Life International, has stumbled upon us pro-choicers’ dirty little secret.
It was bad enough when people knew we were all just degenerate liberals, dreaded atheists, or — god forbid — baby-hating feminists. But now the president of Human Life [...]

So I know I said earlier that I was sure the Republicans-love-Simpsons-because-it-espouses-family-values bit would be the stupidest thing I read all day, but …
Along comes Cary Tennis, Salon advice columnist extraordinaire and perennial favorite of people who like to point out dumb things in the media …
In today’s column, someone wrote [...]

Is this really necessary to our national security?
Highly sensitive information about the religious beliefs, political opinions and even the sex life of Britons travelling to the United States is to be made available to US authorities when the European Commission agrees to a new system of checking passengers.
The EC is in the final stages of [...]

Having a rapist’s baby is so empowering. I mean, imagine you’re raped, right? And then you find out you’re pregnant. Sure, you might feel hurt, angry, depressed, scared, worried about how to take care of the child, etc. You might even consider having an abortion. Or giving the baby up for adoption. But think [...]

I’m always utterly flabbergasted when I learn that people really believe (or at least purport to believe) that Planned Parenthood is an evil cabal that actually wants to increase the number of abortions. To hear anti-choicers talk about Planned Parenthood sometime, you’d think all PP did was provide abortions. Maybe even in a drive through, [...]

All morning/afternoon, people in my office were watching and talking about the new Hilary Clinton/Sopranos spoof ad (which was infinitely preferable to the office talk yesterday, which mostly consisted of, “Gonna be a hot one today, isn’t it?” and “My, is it hot out there!” 
Being neither a Hilary Clinton nor a Sorprano’s fan myself [...]

Mr Spock had a human mother, and Vulcan father, from who he inherited his inability to make sense of human emotion, as well as his green blood.
This is an interesting BBC article, in which a canadian man was found to bleed dark green blood. They say it’s from sulfur from a drug [...]
