I really shouldn’t feed the Rushtroll

| April 8, 2009

but the fact that he has so much influence makes this all the more baffling. Andrew Sullivan posts an exchange from Rush’s show where you can see how crazy he’s gotten.  Look, I remember hearing the guy at a friends house pretty regularly as a kid, and he’s always been crazy.  But, you know, it [...]

OK, it’s more complicated than that, but just barely.

“importance of being stupidity in science” I think that says enough.

this story needs more press

| December 19, 2008

I don’t usually post for single links (but who knows, maybe I’ll start, some things do need more discussion) but this story was so vile that I had to.

OK, so this week we got a little note in one of our recycling bins telling us that they won’t take glass/plastic that hasn’t been “cleaned”. SRSLY!?? Let me get this straight: I’m spending extra time filtering out my TRASH, and carrying out 4 bins instead of ONE. I’m PAYING you to pick up this [...]

another CPS fuckup

At least they got their son back & their lives weren’t destroyed, and at least the people involved admitted what they were doing [...]
