Mom: Oh are you watching Bill Maher?
Me: What, no, I was checking what was on.
Mom: Good, I hate that guy.
Me: I hate that guy too.

My country's politicians are better than yours. Have any of yours rescued the national animal? I didn't think so.

Yay Iowa! I hope this doesn't get challenged. (Or if it does, not successfully challenged.)

This is like how the Republicans are supporting McCain despite all their bashing of him earlier - they want ( Read more... )

Nice White Lady (awesome parody of all those "middle class white teacher helps poor students of colour move beyond their lot!1!!)

Kern vows not to apologize for remarks against homosexuals.What gets me? She used to be a social studies teacher, presumably in a high school. Given that out of my grad class of about 120 people there were at least two out gay males, a girl who came out about a year later, and a few bisexuals? In my fairly conservative small city.
