You know who I'm sick of hearing about? Skylar Deleon. Everytime the news reports on his murder trial, they slap a screaming POWER RANGER TRIED FOR MURDER headline on it. Look, assholes, I know that you need a punchy headline to grab eyeballs, but that is blatantly misleading. If I hear that a power ranger is being tried for murder, it better be ( Read more... )

Before I started my first year of classes in college, they made me attend a weekend orientation session wherein they taught all the freshmen how not to be racist. My most vivid memory of this weekend was the bit where we all had to sit in a cry-circle and confess our prejudices about each other. Since no one wanted to do this, our counselor went ( Read more... )

The National Review, that bastion of sense and sanity, apparently counted down the list of the TOP 25 CONSERVATIVE MOVIES OF ALL TIME. Many of these are films that I've never seen, possibly because I don't have much interest in conservative film, but I notice that every film that's listed which I have seen, they get totally wrong.

Since he apparently made a pact with his co-climber sherpa Tenzing Norgay that they would never reveal which of the two of them first set foot at the summit so that there wouldn't be any argument. Although Hilary immediately started insisting ( Read more... )

So I've been watching a rather entertaining thing on Youtube called "The Atheist Experience," a public access show out of Austin all about atheism and stuff. Mostly it's these two guys talking about LOL FUNDIES, which I of course eat up, but I've found that the only thing more obnoxious than the enraged idiot religiosos who call in to yell at them ( Read more... )

We just watched "Hot Fuzz." It was good, but it probably would have been better if I could have understood a single fucking word they said in it. Jesus Christ, these goddamn Brits are always soooo smug about their education system and how their kids can find their own country on a map and shit but at least we teach our kids to FUCKING ENUNCIATE.
