  • Coat Still On

    Much like my beloved mother – I have been wearing my coat now for about four hours solid after coming inside from dropping some film off at Walgreens. But it is pretty chilly in here. They have yet to fix the draft in the living room. Talked with a web design client today and cooking […]

  • State Of the Union Drinking Game

    Be sure to have this handy during tomorrow night’s broadcast.

  • Irish Catholic Church Enslaved Thousands

    Girls who had become pregnant, even from rape, girls who were illegitimate, or orphaned, or just plain simple-minded, girls who were too pretty and therefore in “moral danger” all ran the risk of being locked up and put to work, without pay, in profit-making, convent laundries, to “wash away their sins.”

  • Sabre-Rattling

    The US intends to shatter Iraq by raining down as many as 800 cruise missiles in two days, more than twice the number of missiles launched during the entire 40 days of the 1991 GulfWar. If we don’t level the place then how can Dick Cheney’s buddies get the contracts to rebuild?

  • Bridezillas

    I must say that I am pretty stoked for tomorrow’s show on Fox Bridezillas. I have seen the most sensible of women-friends turn into stark-raving lunatics as their nuptials draw near. The incredibly delusion of entitlement that many girls have is just stunning. Carey (a psychotherapist) has been organizing her daughter Beth’s wedding and says […]

  • Damned to Saddam

    You’re a UN Inspector and a man jumps into your vehicle screaming “Save me! Save me!”. What do you do? You turn him over to the Iraqi authorities who now claim to have “no information on the incident.” (via Metafilter)

  • An Orgasm In Every Pot

    ‘No one will ever go hungry for sex because there will be sex kitchens all over town serving sex instead of soup.’ (post-modern porn performer and pussy power purveyor Annie Sprinkle).

  • Cho Guevera

    Margaret Cho has announced dates for her latest tour. Ron and I will most definiltely be there – we saw her live two years ago and I have to say I’ve never laughed so hard in my life at someone I didn’t know. She says her latest show is less personal but much more politically […]

  • Spice = Oil

    “Without spice, travel ? and trade ? is impossible. Without spice, the economy will collapse. Maud’Dib defeats the Empire by taking the spice source hostage, and threatening to blow it up, which would plunge all civilization into a new dark age. Of course, critics have long recognized that Dune was inspired by Islam, and that […]

  • Bush to Give Fed Money For Building Churches

    The Bush administration plans to allow religious groups to use federal housing money to help build centers where religious worship is held, as long as part of the building is also used for social services. In other news, Bush wiped his ass with the Consitution and flushed it down the john. Doesn’t this seem like […]
