Recently, the world-famous blogger Pharyngula (who is actually Professor P.Z. Myers of UMinn/Morris) noted that the president was running an online survey, so he asked his minions to screw it up by choosing their answers to "go against the result the poll is engineered to generate".  I generally like Pharyngula, although he is sometimes too willing ( Read more... )

"Fox News offered former anchor Gretchen Carlson 20 million dollars and an apology after she spent years being sexually harassed by Roger Ailes, who looks like they tried to clone Alfred Hitchcock but the DNA was incomplete so they just filled it in with genetic material from a Basset hound, mashed potatoes, and the mumps, which they then stirred ( Read more... )

Berin Greenbear quotes from futurist Douglas Coupland's essay in the Globe&Mail, which I actually read at their website before seeing this reference.  I didn't like it when I first saw it and I still don't.  A "pessimist" is supposed to be a realist, but a "radical pessimist" is apparently someone who sees every glass as half-empty no matter how ( Read more... )

We're rascals, scoundrels, villains, and knaves,
We're devils and black sheep, really bad eggs,
We're beggars and blighters, ne'er-do-well cads,
Aye, but we're loved by our mommies and dads,...This is amusing only if you think piracy belongs in history books like knights in shining armour.  Wearing an eyepatch and pretending to have a pegleg doesn' ( Read more... )

I think this is funny.  And I got the link from this guy.

This is funny: a guy demanding that DailyKos ban certain overused words.  Note that the post is tagged "snark"-the poster would be astonished if his demand were acceded to.  Many of the comments are funnier than the original post, such as

In the 7th hundred hours, I planned to Meet the Press to discuss the linky goodness (emphasis mine) associated ( Read more... )

Here.  Yep, there I am, on the frontpage, talking about Ted Haggard and Mark Foley.  Sometimes there's just no telling what will turn out to be popular.  If I'd known that post would have legs, I would have mentioned Rick Santorum and his fixation on man-dog sex.

If you're late to the party and my post has fallen off the frontpage, look here

I've gotten past brad's lameness filter!  And this was only my second attempt!

Alexa says my website is one of the top 33 destinations on Furtopia!  And loganberrybunny is only three times as popular as I am.  But Technorati claims that nobody who matters ever links to my journal- so why do they even mention me ( Read more... )

My dog (we'll call him "Walnut") is a West Highland Terrier.  Here is a old picture of him as a young puppy.  He is very, very fast.  In puppy-training classes he beat all the other dogs at "race to the treat".  When he races with kid #2, the boy runs straight to the finish line while Walnut prances all over the yard-and still beats him in the end ( Read more... )

This post is for camstone, who is apparently waiting for me to say something bad about him as a guy-who-unfriended-me.  Sorry, Cam, I reserve my hate for your fascist boss, El Presidente, and the party elite who egg him on.  I'm sorry to learn that you support Republican policy on the matter at hand ( Read more... )
