How slaves are hurting the Gulf

Sure, foreign laborers are treated like slaves so that Dubai can have fancy towers and spoiled children. But they don't even try to fit in and they're ruining the girls. They're corrupting society (which they built).

More Bad Apples

The freedom fighting teacher in NYC are taking a stand against terrorism.  A preemptive strike against graffi-terrorism.

Now this...

...is change I can believe in...

Can The State of California Get a Mulligan?

At first I thought that W. was enough to make us all realize that modern politics had gone too far;  then there was Dutch's - following point-man Blain's - gubernatorial bid; then a borderline psychopath, who went to four different colleges that were all worse than mine (which is hard), almost became VP; and now we have demon sheep.  Am I missing something?  Does the concept of something being stupid just not exist to most people?  All of this is to say that hopefully now, finally, the time has come to quit and start over.  What's next ... Chevrolet? (only 3 people will get this last joke.  Sorry if you are not one of them)

Buzkashi Alert!

Castle in a haystack

"Farmer loses High Court fight to save hidden castle "

This story is just like a fairytale. If only farmer Fidler knew how to spin straw into gold, maybe he could save his secret castle from the terrible government planning inspector.

Remember When The Republicans Were AGAINST Political Correctness?

Well not any more.

I guess Palin has to represent for her son base.

If you think robbing a bank is hilarious......

...then braining Norman Mailer with a hammer should further brighten your day.

Fat Guys Finish First (i.e. Alive)

I know the Brittany Murphy beat is old news, but Jesus Christ her husband was a fat piece.  It must have been competition, not anorexia, that made her so freakishly skinny.

Finally Something Hilarious

I've been depressed and generally pessimistic about everything lately.  Until this happened.  Lesson learned - don't take life too seriously.

Pro-Life (more like "projected 4th round draft pick"-Life)

Our friend Tim Tebow is doing a pro-life superbowl commercial. The story goes that his mom's doctor advised her to get an abortion when she was pregnant with fetal-tim. She refused. And, thanks to the glory of god, the christ-child was born - making the world a better place, and abortion evil for potentially destroying what has come to be.

The only problem with this as an anti abortion message is that it's too easy to flip it on it's head. How many child molesters, murderers, and yankees fans' mom's should have had abortions? Are two BCS championships really worth Jeffrey Dahmer, Hitler, etc.?

Liberté Égalité Shinobé

"They travelled in disguise to other territories to judge the situation of the enemy"
The French are banning yet another form muslim garb.  They claim that the burka is "contrary to the values of the Republic".  I agree that it should be banned, but for totally different reasons.  The French see it as a betrayal of their egalitarian values - I see it as a clear violation of my antininjarian values.  It's a national security issue.

Decline

As you all (all 5 of you) know, I love a good-old american fall from grace.  My favorite so far, and what I believe is the platonic ideal, is the movie "Overnight" -  a must-see for those of you who appreciate comeuppance.  I'm not sure how I feel when it comes to the decline of our fine country though.  That being said, this article rings true.  It makes the point that our government is actually a really old organization, way older than most - and most organizations don't last that long without going stale and failing.  It kind of leaves you feeling somewhere between total hopelessness and cautious optimism, which - honestly - is better than I feel about "The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day."

The Less You Know, The More You Comment

Seneca
Well, if some extra-dimensions could wipe-out one quintillion factor (?!?) of LHC safety expected - what we can expect about theory of Hawking radiation? "


I normally have a 'don't read' policy for comments after news articles, but here is an exception.

Ignorant commenting on political matters makes me depressed and enraged.  However, the same ignorance and insanity is funny when it comes to science.  It's also an interesting article if you have a soft spot for particle physics.

Oh Sherry

Oh Sherry

Oh Sherry

New Links

I've added some new links.  Check out the netflix map link. It's especially funny to look at what neighborhoods rent Tyler Perry movies in Minneapolis.

Khalid "Shake" Mohammed

Iran on Thursday denied reports a minister exchanged a rare handshake with his Israeli counterpart at a tourism fair in Spain, a state news agency said on Thursday.

This has gone too far.  Wanting to wipe a country off the map is one thing, but shirking polite formalities is simply not right.

Another Glorious Fall

This came out a few weeks ago.  On the level of great self-imposed destructions.

A Theological Question

When did Jesus say that you have to put Bible verses on everything?

Bad Week for Arms Dealers

I know the focus of the world is on the devastation in Haiti, but there are other victims as well.  For example, arms dealers are being unfairly persecuted by the muslim, socialist administration.  First, the bible was banned from out troops' gunsights. Now, the FBI is arresting the patriotic core of our entrepreneurial class - Gun Dealers - for giving bribes to undercover FBI agents pretending to be representatives of an unidentified African country.  This policy destroys decent American businesses (i.e., it's a 'job-killer'), it also undermines the ability of freedom-loving Africans, to spread their freedom.
