monday!

1. The speculation about Capone is extremely apt, and 2. "Colorado's most infamous asspipe" is a gorgeous turn of phrase.

Or we could pick our own date and make up a clever rhyme for that. Otherwise I totally agree with the plan. (supporting arguments)

This love letter to non-union teachers can seriously go fzck itself in the face.

Further f/u on Clarence Thomas' recent opinion.

Tom's reaction (after laughing): Dude, if someone's doing Pap smears at Walgreens you need to call the cops. (Insert "Clean up, Aisle 3" joke here).

CRAP

An extremely good suggestion.

Saying a lot: this is one of the weirder things I've seen on the Interwebs lately.

Overwhelming amounts of cuteness.

happy friday!

Oh my gods, you guys. I watched a little of the Coupon show. The idiot in the image accompanying the article in the clickthrough bought three cartloads of groceries for six bucks. But here's the thing: in order to get that magical total, she had to "maximize coupon value" by breaking up her purchase into eighteen separate transactions. This sort of thing cannot possibly gain traction in real life or we will see a massive outbreak in point of sale rage-murders. My heart was breaking for the poor cashier when she rang up half the order on one tab and had to start over.

Okay, am I the only person who sees something wrong with cops pepper spraying an 8 year old special ed kid? Because that seems really wrong. The fact that there appears to be more outrage over this...?

And hey, speaking of things you shouldn't be doing to 8 year olds: Botox

Naked Man with AK-47 Fires at SWAT Robot.

Get to know ALEC.

Um, everything?

Perspective.

Enh, we didn't need the environment anyway, right? (bonus Fzck Texas)

The War on Women, state by state.

Smart-arse bees.

Another thing people are spending money on instead of donating to a charity that stops stupid people from doing stupid things.

Oh for fzck's sake. OH FOR FZCKS SAKE.

thursday!

Reality and parody are basically indistinguishable now. Further evidence.

YUP

Well, obviously.

I'm just gonna puke blood and go back to bed, then.

Two Things: I hate Jonah Goldberg's stupid face, and I hate David Frum's evil face even more. The fact that he got booted by true believers and occasionally says reasonable things now does not equal grounds for forgiveness by ANY means. Also, asking wingnuts to define socialism is easily the quickest way to stop them dead in their tracks.

On slavery.

I am incredibly confused.

So much bitter irony in the first three paragraphs...

Sorta related here.

Has anyone ever tried meringue coffeecake? I cannot imagine what the texture of the meringue would be in the end product.

Meh. I hate it less than I thought I would.

Bunnycat!

Amazing design.

WHAT

wednesday!

This is a good point, but my major problem with the Coupon Show (related) is that there are never coupons for like, apples or dried beans or bulk rice. It's always processed, heavily marketed crap (usually with an excess of wasteful packaging), at least as far as food coupons are concerned. Coupons for non-food items like trash bags or cleaning supplies are almost a separate discussion of marketing voodoo vs. generic products of equal quality for half the price, or homemade cleaning hacks.

Okay, WOW.

I'm sure that's all perfectly reasonable and Constitutional.

Good news, everyone!

Ha, suck on that, healthy people.

Genius.

I am really not OK with this. The collateral damage potential is far too great.

I need shorthand for "thing that made me so instantly mad that I shouted an obscenity and startled at least one of the cats." Because THIS.

Where do people stand on smoothies? I am way intrigued by recipes like this. I'm looking to branch out from the standard banana+yogurt+frozen fruit+honey+juice/milk thing, and magic nuts and seeds and powders sound fun. And this egg quesadilla recipe is blowing my mind right now. Also really into farro , and chana dal in basically every form (mmm deep fried).

Hey Powerline, would that qualify as cutting and running? A little consistency in your warmongering, pls. Related.

And speaking of consistency, should we be doing something about this?
