Creationists give a museum tour • 03.27.08
…in Denver, no less. I think what I’m most surprised at is how exceedingly little thought the Creationists give to their spiel. You’d think that if they were giving tens or hundreds of these tours that at some point they would sit down and do the very math that they’re arguing. I mean, I knew they hated and feared science, but is math anti-god now?

hint: The top finances the bottom. Someone is looking like they have been using payday loans a bit too much.
Tom Cruise: Still Crazy After All These Years… • 01.14.08
I wish I could embed this one, except (surprise) the $cientologists made a copyright claim against YouTube and had it pulled.

PETA: Hypocrites • 01.13.08
Not counting animals PETA held only temporarily in its spay-neuter program, the organization took in 3,061 "companion animals" in 2006, of which it killed 2,981. According to Virginia’s Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (VDACS), the average euthanasia rate for humane societies in the state was just 34.7 percent in 2006. PETA killed 97.4 percent of the animals it took in.
So, is this just a bad seed PETA group in Virginia? If this becomes common knowledge, I figure this will make them even more ridiculed than when they ignore the point of Sicko and point out that Michael Moore is fat.
In courtroom testimony last year, a PETA manager acknowledged that her organization maintains a large walk-in freezer for storing dead animals, and that PETA contracts with a Virginia cremation service to dispose of the bodies. In that trial, two PETA employees were convicted of dumping dead animals in a rural North Carolina trash dumpster.
Bad PETA. You’ve been a very bad PETA.
Cranky Old Bat…er…Tom Brokaw Says Blogs, Video Games Bad, Media Good • 12.10.07
Yes, after the Omaha idiot goes on a shooting spree saying, “just think tho i’m gonna be fuckin’ famous.” I’m sure he was talking about all of the blogs like us who will be talking about him, and the video games which will be based off of him.
Oh…wait…no. He probably means the fact that his face was plastered all over every news web site, and I’m guessing prominently displayed all over the network news.
I was actually legitimately dumfounded when I saw on MSNBC “I’m gonna be famous,” right next to the body count, just to the right of an enormous picture of the tool. I mean, didn’t the MSNBC editors have any sense of irony?
Sure, the media excuse is always, “We’re just giving the public what they want.” Is that really the case anymore? Can they prove it to us? I saw that and moved on to other articles. Showing that crap is just gonna make some other idiot who doesn’t get enough attention in life to shoot up some other place knowing that a) his pain will be over, b) everyone he’s ever met will be talking about him for a month and c) millions of people he’s never met will see his picture all over the place.
And after all of this, Mr. Greatest Generation says this isn’t causing people to go crazy…no no no, it’s blogs and video games. Dude, I think you dropped the last shred of your dwindling credibility into your Metamucil. Bummer.
Shipping = Landfill Stuffing • 11.07.07
I’m trying (again) to find a reliable company that will ship one piece of furniture without swaddling it in plastic and/or styrofoam, i.e. just wrap the thing in moving blankets. We’ll even wrap it for you in our own blankets and drop it off at your distribution center. I’ve spent at least a day making calls, and there’s basically nobody.
