This from the Beeb. A Tourist named Leigh Van Bryan was barred from entry to the US because of something he’d posted on Twitter. The 26-year-old bar manager wrote a message to a friend on the micro-blogging service, saying: “Free this week, for quick gossip/prep before I go and destroy America.” […] In another tweet, Mr Bryan made reference […]

Congress declares victory over constituents
In a bold step forward for decreased government regulation of government, Congress was able to declare victory over the vast majority of the American electorate Tuesday. “This is an important day for all legislators,” stated Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-OH). “For years we’ve been hampered by the demands of unreasonable taxpayers, but with this […]
Why we don’t let cartoonists write policy decisions
About one in twenty cartoons by Michael Ramirez is actually worth a read; most of the time he produces far-right nitwittery that, rather than providing balance or nuance to my openly socialistic and lefty views, simply represents cognitive noise. It’s unfortunate, too, because Ramirez is actually one hell of a skilled illustrator. He clearly puts a lot of […]
Useless old bigot does it again
No, not John McCain — just one of his cheerleaders, old man Chuck Asay. Behold. This cadre of old bigots can’t die off soon enough to suit me. Fortunately, Asay’s cretinous outlook is no longer relevant to the majority of Americans. That’s probably why he’s being such a prat, actually. He’s throwing a little tantrum because no […]
Chuck Asay: Bigoted homophobe, or bigoted homophobic sack of shit?
Chuck Asay is one of those old-timey white guys who has more than outlived his usefulness to the planet. Born in 1942, he’s the direct beneficiary of most of the social-support systems that were erected during his youth, those same systems he wants to see dismantled now in the name of “conservatism” and — probably […]
Shame them
Last week some disturbing news broke in my neck of the woods. The long and short is that a school in Prescott, Arizona was painting a rather joyous and exuberant mural that included some of the school’s students. Certain individuals drove past the school and shouted racist comments. A local demagogue got on the radio and fomented action. […]
You can tell a lot about a man…
…from the way he chooses to draw women. Yeah, seriously. From a clipart site.
It’s either gmail or the iPhone
I know. I know. Those of you who are in my gmail contacts have been spammed recently by a series of annoying messages. I’m not sure exactly where the weak link is. Because it’s just people whom I’ve contacted directly from my gmail account via their web interface, it could be that someone managed to crack my […]
Ah, Islam, the religion of pieces
Part of Indonesia has joined the great enlightenment by passing a stoning law for adultery. Good! Because if there’s one thing that stupid men with small penises can’t possibly condone, it’s their wives boinking other men. (Offhand I don’t know of any man who has ever been killed under any adultery law anywhere.) It’s also now illegal […]
These people.
These people are why I have this.
When entitlement attacks
I would like to think this represents the nadir of spoiled-brat behavior from the twentysomething crowd, but I fear it’s closer to being an iceberg’s tip. A recent college graduate is suing her alma mater for $72,000 — the full cost of her tuition and then some — because she cannot find a job. In other news, dead […]
It was a very stupid idea anyway.
When Bush 43 was still — eww — in office, news broke that circumcised men had a lower chance of contracting HIV infection than their uncut counterparts when having unprotected sex. The “news” was treated as a major breakthrough and, as I recall, a lot of counseling was done of uncircumcised men, suggesting they have their foreskins removed instead […]
