Ordinarily I delve into Nickelodeon because I’m surfing on a lazy Sunday, and lacking substance in the form of Grim Adventures or a nice block of Mythbusters I find myself tossing about in the world of SpongeBob. (Ben 10 is tolerable, but only just barely, and I wonder how long it’ll take for Ben/Gwen hentai to hit the net, assuming […]

The Numbers are In…
…And so were most of us. 95% of all Americans have had premarital sex, according to a study (which was longitudinal, by the way) by the Guttmacher Institute. The study, examining how sexual behavior before marriage has changed over time, was based on interviews conducted with more than 38,000 people — about 33,000 of them women […]
The shit?
What, really, mine? Fuckin’ rip. Whatver I want to say? Oh holy love of my own massive dick. Okay. Okay. Here is My Very First Post Thing Ever. So I’m like looking up in my bed at the big fat fuckin’ other world that orbits my shitty little Barque, and Ma says, hey, Medi, you gotta get up n write […]
Cock is…
something/one who exists in a work in progress of mine, The Seven-Year Mirror. He’s hard to resist, even if he is a pain in the ass. So please excuse his occasional effusions here. He has his own category now. It was the only way I could get him to leave me alone. Those among you who are writers will understand.

Smackdown!
There’s a lovely, lively set of multifarious discussions taking place at Pharyngula on the merits of theism, deism, atheism and the value of telling dissenters to leave the country. Behold. There’s nothing like a little war on after Christmas to help that turkey digest.
This is Not the Way
What a fine Christmas present for America. As of December 25, 2006, the number of US troops killed in Iraq has passed the number of persons killed in the attacks of 11 September 2001. And so this is Christmas and what have you done? Another year over and a new one just begun. What’s been accomplished since the […]
This is Why…
…I’m not a professional phởtographer, Santa or father of infants/toddlers. (Via the LA Times) The look on Santa’s face says enough. Enjoy the season, all.
Will the Real Threat to America Please Stand Up?
Virgil Goode, a Republican representative from Virginia, has his panties in a terribly tight little knot. He recently sent a letter to Virginian voters regarding a colleague, Keith Ellison, a Minnesota Democrat (excerpt; via): When I raise my hand to take the oath on Swearing In Day, I will have the Bible in my other hand. I do not subscribe to using the Koran […]
Loose Change 2
Good News for Laura Apparently the First Lady had a malignant tumor removed from her shin last month, prior to the November elections. Seems it was skin cancer — and apparently they caught it in time. I’m pleased that the operation went well; cancer’s nasty. In other news, Dick Cheney appears to have recently resurfaced from hiding in […]
Remembering a Master
Ten years ago today, Carl Sagan died. I remember not being too shocked by the news. After reading his nonpareil excoriation of magical thinking, The Demon-Haunted World, I recall distinctly having the impresion that it was a deliberate bequest, that he was pouring out everything he had learned about the dissection of pseudoscience. It felt a little as […]
Islamist Bullshit
The news is that the Tripoli Six have been sentenced — a second time — to be killed for crimes they could not possibly have committed. PZ had this to say, in part: No medicine, no vaccinations, no surgeons—leeches and lancets and the usual contrivances of the pre-eighteenth century world should be all they get. That is […]
