Yes, that’s Fox News, to be sure:
Report: Sadistic Killer Lesbians Shared Blood Lust
Because, you know, only lesbians engage in sadism, murder, and bloodlust.
Because they’re - duh - gay!
Little known fact.
Idiots.
Oh Man: Now the lesbians travel through time!
…else it would mean this guy had passed along the stupid gene:
HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A Hutchinson man is on trial this week on charges he put his girlfriend’s 2-year-old daughter and 3-year-old son in a hot clothes dryer.
In a videotaped interview with detectives shown in court Wednesday, Aron Pritchard said he put the children in the dryer to show them they could have a good time without much money. An hour later, the dryer had become hot and the boy had second-degree burns.
Pritchard told the detective that he didn’t mean for the boy to get hurt.
Hey, kids! Who wants to pretend we’re atop Mount Everest? OK - climb in this freezer!
Hey, kids! Who wants to pretend they’re taking Mom’s car through the car wash? OK - into the dishwasher with you!
Hey, kids! Who wants to pretend our boat is trapped in a giant, bubbling whirlpool? Hot dog - into the washing machine!
Hey, kids!
And so on.
We really need to work on basic statistics with the American populace. From an article regarding babies born on Feb 29 during a leap year:
…and this year that group grew to include Amelia Theresa Pinkham. The 10-pound-4-ounce darling was born to Jamie and Nathan Pinkham shortly after 8 a.m. Amelia was due yesterday but Jamie says she knew her daughter would be born today.
“Well the chances of having a baby on the 29th of February every four years is one in, what, 1,200 I think, 1,300 something, which is kind of neat,” says dad Nathan. “You could win quite a bit of money in the lottery with that kind of odds.”
Yes, in the Powerball lottery you might win a little over $7.
Wow, that is quite a bit of money.
To a four year old.
P.S. Welcome to the world, Amelia!
The driver of the car involved in a rollover accident in Pinewood Springs Thursday afternoon was trying to do a stunt with the car as it was going around a tight curve, according to the Colorado State Patrol.
Troopers say the 16-year-old driver intentionally pulled the emergency brake in an attempt to “drift” around the curve, going east on US 36. The teen’s car rotated counter-clockwise and onto the westbound lanes, overcorrected and rotated clockwise. The vehicle traveled back onto the eastbound lanes and collided and slid along a guardrail. The car then went off the right side of the road rolling 2 1/2 times down a steep embankment in North St. Vrain Canyon and came to rest on its top.
I wonder who will choreograph the stunt scene in which his dad beats the crap out of him?
Just stuff.
Ralph Nader says, “Give the Republicans the White House again!”
The Clinton campaign says “we didn’t intend that Obama photo as a smear“, quickly following up with “not that it was ours, or anything. Whatever. Hey, look over there!” (scurry, scurry, scurry) … looks to me like more politics as usual, which is why I think we might actually see a President Obama.
In matchups looking ahead to November’s general election, Clinton leads Arizona Sen. John McCain by 48 percent to 43 percent. Obama’s lead over the virtually certain GOP nominee is twice that size, 51 percent to 41 percent.
Ouch.
And Heh.
A McDonald’s in California is giving the ancient made-up art of Feng Shui a try, channeling the made-up energy of chi in all sorts of fantastic ways, which is easy to do when you’re just making things up. Perhaps, if the executives in the McDonald’s board room really want to grow profits, they should all watch “The Secret” and compel the universe to make everyone Super Size themselves.
Colorado moves one step closer to retail alcohol sales on Sunday. Hey, look at us, we’re almost all grown up and getting our boobies here.
In a time of war, with economic crises looming, the U.S. Congress still has its priorities straight. Well, for a bunch of pinheads. Which, um, they seem continually bent on demonstrating that they are.
Atheists are fomenting rebellion, rising in numbers! The end is nigh! Hide the women and the whisky!
Also, marvel at how Mary Jordan of the Washington Post draws some moral equivalence between the fanaticism of 9/11 and the “extremism” of someone crossing out “In God We Trust” from U.S currency.
On the flip side, it looks like Texas may be heading back towards breeding stupid children.
Via the magic of Last.fm (see right sidebar), I came across the band Speechwriters LLC yesterday. I dug it. So I went to iTunes, looked it up, saw it was $9.99 for an album and almost bought it.
Instead, I went to Amazon’s MP3 store, and found the same album for $3 less. What did the extra $3 get me at iTunes? Digital Rights Management (DRM). Well, that’s quite the selling point there, Apple. No, thanks, I like my music to have its freedom.
And, uh, that’s all.
…as Florida’s State Board of Education concurs that evolution is a scientific theory (because its status was in doubt, I guess).
Florida’s public school science standards for the first time will use the word “evolution,” although the biological concept already was being taught under code words such as “change over time….”
The standards state that evolution is “the fundamental concept underlying all of biology and is supported by multiple forms of scientific evidence….”
Opponents of evolution denied they had a religious motive, arguing that there are flaws in the scientific theory of evolution and that students should be allowed to explore them.
As a compromise, the standards refer to evolution as a scientific theory, explaining that a theory is a well-supported and accepted explanation of nature, not simply a claim.
Quite the compromise the creationists got! A forthright statement of facts regarding evolution. Somehow, I’m guessing that’s not what they were hoping for.
Also of note is the denial by the creationists of having a religious motive. Riiiiiight. Roger that. Sacred cows make the best hamburger, and it seems the religious right makes the best liars.
John Sullivan, executive director of the Florida Baptist Convention, objected to calling evolution the only fundamental concept underlying biology. He wrote in an e-mail to Education Commissioner Eric Smith that Baptists firmly believe there’s evidence of a “Creator-initiated origin of life” but did not object to teaching evolution.
Hmmm, when it comes to deciding whether evolution is the only fundamental concept underlying biology, should I trust a collective of the brightest minds in the world or a man who thinks that a self-contradicting book of myths, written by ignorant men over a thousands years ago and then haphazardly compiled by men in pointy hats with their own patriarchal agendas, is the height of wisdom and learning?
Tough one, that. Might have to ask me for an answer in the morning.
Michelle Obama and Cindy McCain, that is:
Tuesday morning seemed to bring the debut of yet another McCain-Obama flap – this time, Cindy McCain and Michelle Obama.
As she introduced her husband John McCain, the likely Republican nominee, at a campaign event, Cindy McCain told the crowd I “am proud of my country. I don’t know about you, if you heard those words earlier — I am very proud of my country.â€
The comment seemed to be a response to a remark from Michelle Obama the day before. On Monday, the wife of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama told a Wisconsin audience that “For the first time in my adult life, I am really proud of my country, because it feels like hope is making a comeback… not just because Barack has done well, but because I think people are hungry for change.”
A couple of thoughts come to mind:
Answer…
“I think they could be teaching a lie,” he said. “There’s not a place on me where they took the tail off.”
Question…
Sure, many of them are illogical (from the religious folks) or illiterate (see below).
In response to my post on how Welsh teenagers are idiots for engaging in copycat hangings, Darius contributed this bit of insight:
If you had anderstood ppl…you wodnt have put this site in!!!!

Where to start?
Hmmm, one wonders if those who defended pharmacists who refused to give out “the morning after” pill on religious/moral grounds will so quickly fall in line behind these doctors-to-be.
Muslim medical students are refusing to obey hygiene rules brought in to stop the spread of deadly superbugs, because they say it is against their religion.
Women training in several hospitals in England have raised objections to removing their arm coverings in theatre and to rolling up their sleeves when washing their hands, because it is regarded as immodest in Islam.
Universities and NHS trusts fear many more will refuse to co-operate with new Department of Health guidance, introduced this month, which stipulates that all doctors must be “bare below the elbow”.
The measure is deemed necessary to stop the spread of infections such as MRSA and Clostridium difficile, which have killed hundreds.
Oh, please, as if MRSA is any match for the power of devout prayer. Pshaw! Silly infidels!
Here’s an idea: boot their silly asses out of the medical program.
