Better question: do we really need Fox News?
Everyone knows hurricane tracking is socialism.
Anyway, I fully expect this to be a complete a non-event, but in case of my untimely demise I’ve asked PP to politicize the hell the out of my passing. I remember when we lost Senator Paul Wellstone, there was criticism about his memorial service turning “into a...

Seriously, fuck you everyone who tells me that. I’m not too young to know I don’t want kids and it’s not some phase I am going through. I’ve told people since I was 10 I wasn’t going to have kids. It’s going on 11 years I’ve said that, that is a pretty long ass phase. Not every person wants to be a parent. If you want to be a parent, great. I...

Court refuses trial by combat →

Leon Humphreys remained adamant yesterday that his right to fight a champion nominated by the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) was still valid under European human rights legislation. He said it...

Advice from a Californian:

Let’s all thank Tinsley for providing a helpful list without being too mocking of our never-had-an-earthquake East Coast senses.
Seriously. #9 and #10 are both very good points.

1. Calm down.
2. But be proud. 5.9 is pretty big. Well done!

Rumble in the Bronx
clintirwin:
I felt the building shaking, and I’m wobbling in my chair. I went out of my room because there was construction in the bathroom, and I thought that might be it. The dude wasn’t doing anything that would cause shaking. He came into my room to see what I was talking about. The antenna on my TV was wobbling. I thought maybe I had exaggerated something perfectly normal. He left and went...

Or as other people call it, a ‘Halloween Costume Catalog’. There are exactly FOUR pictures of costumes for ‘girls’ that don’t include a skirt, and two of those are ‘cow girl’ and ‘genie’ (although ‘gunslinger girl and ‘rhinestone cowgirl’ do). However, to dress a girl as Spider Man, Batman or Sponge Bob even, a skirt is an...
time to perfect coffee tea bags for next week.
iwillnotshavemyvagina:
I have hemp string, coffee filters, and coffee grounds.
THIS WILL HAPPEN AND IT WILL BE SUCCESSFUL.
Do you just dip the bag in the water like a tea bag? (I use coffee filters with ground dried chile peppers to make organic pest control. I just staple those closed. Never thought to hemp it!!)

How can anyone actually defend the Bush Tax cuts for the rich/corporations since in the 8 years of them the jobs have disappered, economy tanked and wholesale failure of certain industries has resulted??
If taking it this easy on the highest earners and corps CREATES jobs and stable economy, how long is that supposed to take??

Christine O’Donnell walks out of an interview with Piers Morgan when he asks her a question about gay marriage.
she is really not very intelligent sounding…
Methinks she is cluless as to what an interview is………….and she seems hung up on only asking politicians running for office what they think.
