Friday the 24th
Yet again, this Friday is acting like it’s waited all week to show its butt for news: 1. Lance Armstrong gave up his fight against his doping allegations and is no longer a 7-time Tour De France winner and is banned from cycling. They’re saying that his choice to not pursue arbitration triggers the ban […]
Independent Dependencies
I listen to NPR most mornings and evenings on my commute to and from work, but I listen to the Classical/Symphony channel on XM most evenings now as work is extremely demanding and stressful this month. It helps my brain unwind while driving from work. On NPR this morning they were reporting on a study […]
“Christians” Failing In The Classroom
Louisiana has decided to give vouchers to parents so they can decide where to send their children for school. The hope is that public schools, with their standards for education, will be routed in order to prop up private education, thus doing away with the Department of Education unless the school teaches Islam. (There is […]
Todd Akin’s Beliefs About Rape
Meet Todd Akin. Todd Akin believes that pregnancy from “legitimate” rape does not happen all that much and that women’s bodies have a way of shutting down pregnancy while being raped. I wanted the Obama slow blink GIF, but I can’t find it. Back to the story. Man, WHAT? Rape, which is a […]
Coffee
Some call it swill. Others prefer chai lattes. I was the in the latter group until about April, I believe. Maybe it was May. All I know is that I am now a coffee drinker. I was first introduced to it by my current manager on my project who bought me a blonde roast with […]
Joe Biden Said “Chains”. GOP Says “Racism”.
In what can be described only as an effort to appeal to Black voters without actually paying attention to their own history in racism, members of the Grand Old Party (GOP) are saying that Joe Biden made a racist remark to a crowd of mostly black people yesterday. “They’ve said it. Every Republican’s voted for […]
Irony of Ironies – Evelyn Lozada Is a Victim(?)
Let me preface this by saying that I find it abhorrent, terrible, horrible, sad, and pathetic that Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson, a famous football player formerly of the New England Patriots and Miami Dolphins, allegedly head butted his new wife (and reality television star) Evelyn Lozada. Let me also say that if Chad’s word is true […]
Anderson Cooper’s Boyfriend Caught “Cheating”
So, this happened. Anderson Cooper’s boyfriend Ben Maisani, whom the media is referring to as “hot” (and I’m referring to as “great body, okay face”) was caught kissing someone hotter than him in Central Park this past weekend. The media is calling this cheating. Based on what I know of far too many gay relationships, this […]
Dumbest Move By Chick-Fil-A Supporters
First, let me say how stupid it is to protest gay marriage by eating fast-food chicken and waffle fries. It is infuriating me that we’re now turning food into a political statement. Like, what is going on? Chick-Fil-A is having an “appreciation” day, which was first suggested by a Fox News contributor. Mike Huckabee is […]
