Missives From the Reality-Based World
After encountering this train wreck at Pam’s pad I realized we’re not doing enough to show the useless cretins of the world precisely what they’re good for.
I’m not referring to the scandal of yet another GOP lawmaker boning men. I’m referring to the twat-in-a-hat he was humping. Just look at this assclown.
Someone needs to tell […]
Our hospital is the largest private employer in the county with a staff of around 1300. That’s a lot of people — and a lot of families.
Each year we have a supervised gathering of staff kids so the adults can spend some time doing Christmas gift shopping. There are games, treats and so on, and […]
A meditation practice used often in the Buddhist world, tonglen (”giving and receiving”) is often construed as being a means by which the suffering of someone may be relieved. It’s not unusual to hear of tonglen requests directed toward another, and seems to be used often as an analogue to prayer.
This doesn’t strike me as […]
It’s an occupational hazard for an atheist to hear that he’s soulless, unfeeling, uncaring; we’re regularly reminded that we’re hateful, amoral, would-be murderers and rapists and thieves. The logic is that if there is no god, everything is permitted; the world, under atheistic rule, would be at best an emotionless void subject only to Spocklike […]
But it’s genuinely not possible. After you’ve read some of the mock ad copy and checked out the PDF of the “advertisement” flyer,1 I think you’ll agree that it’s tragic no such device will ever exist.
Spam Got you Down?
In 2006, 17 exabytes of junk emails and commercial spambot blog comments were transferred in the United […]
An excerpt from a recent Dinosaur Comics:
Go and check out the whole thing. Doesn’t this seem like a hell of a fun idea?
Once when I was getting cable installed at a rental, the technician asked if I had a ladder he could use. I was suddenly overcome with an insane urge, one I intend eventually […]

A CAVE, AFGHANISTAN — Osama Bin Laden released another tape Monday reacting to the news from author JK Rowling that Albus Dumbledore, the wizard-headmaster of Hogwarts in her runaway Harry Potter book series, is gay.
“I am not surprised,” the translated message says in part, “to learn that yet another supposedly-harmless beloved icon of decadent Western […]

The right-wing foamers’ full frontal assault on twelve-year-old Graeme Frost was clearly insufficient to slake their leaders’ need for the blood of children. More recently a toddler named Bethany Wilkerson has fallen under attack — more specifically, her parents’ decision to give birth to her.
The capsule version of the very good fisking on Orcinus is […]
There’s a reason people like me are needed throughout the US — people willing to adopt an older “special-needs” child as opposed to a more-or-less fresh-from-the-package infant.
Special needs is an unfortunate term to use, though, because of the ramifications associated with the phrase special education. The latter generally refers to pullout educational programs intended for […]
It just, just started tonight.
I just, just saw it.

Irony is so good for the blood.

Hymenoplasty is a procedure used to surgically re-create the hymen in a woman’s vagina. Muslim women in Europe are undertaking the procedure in order to circumvent their religion’s idiocy regarding virginity.
While I’ll agree that it’s no one’s business whether a woman is a virgin or not, if there’s a surgery which can be used to shoot even a small hole in small-minded bronze-age hocus-pocus, I’m all for it.
Apparently someone rustled up enough cash to take out a hit on Kevin Federline. It’s amazing what the pennies that fall between the couch cushions can accomplish, isn’t it?
