I’m not exactly back from the dead…yet. Still, I make for a lively coma patient. I’ll be back on UR screen, killing UR boredumz on a regular basis very soon, I hope. Things have been much with the crazy here.
To keep you company in the meantime, I highly recommend you check out [...]

It absolutely boggles my mind that anyone thinks this is okay. Here’s a little update from Equality Now I got in my email inbox today. The ick factor is so unbelievably high on this one.

Fred Phelps Hates You
Posted in News and Current Affairs on February 20, 2009 | 2 Comments »
But don't feel bad. Fred Phelps is a hateful douchebag who hates everyone. Jewish, Swedish, Irish, Queen Elizabeth II, John Kerry, Heath Ledger, Mr. Rogers–everyone.
Yes. Even you.
Now, normally I wouldn't waste time pointing to a crazy person and saying "boy, that guy is crazy," because I think it should be obvious. I mean, wow. Except, apparently it [...]
Ronda Storms Hates You
Posted in Library, News and Current Affairs on January 7, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Or at the very least, holds you in contempt. And by you, I mean any person capable of any kind of critical thinking. If she didn't hate you, she wouldn't be insulting you by flaunting just how easy it is to become a senator, even for someone who is obviously not smarter than a fifth grader. [...]
Vote 2008!

Vote! Vote! Vote!
You know why? Because if you don't vote, you can't complain. Well, that's not true. You can complain, because it's a free country and all, and because we have this awesome thing called the First Amendment. You know why we have that? Because people voted for it. No, it's true. Look it up. [...]
Post Apocalyptia
Posted in Comics, Movies, News and Current Affairs, Television on September 25, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Am I too saturated in popular culture, or does it seem every day brings us closer to a science fiction world? Some days, I wonder just how far we are from a Dark Angel/Jeremiah/FreakAngels Post apocalyptic world. I mean, have you even read the news lately? From The Charlotte Observer today:
Hundreds of cars lined streets [...]
Just Read It

For those of you who know me in the real world, you are probably well aware of my tendency to throw reading material across the room from time to time when what I’ve read pisses me off. It’s rare, but it has been known to happen. After reading this online here at work a few [...]
Voting Reminder

Just reminding NC folks to get out there and vote. If you don’t vote, the Alliance wins, and we can’t have that.
A Beautiful Lie
Posted in Do-Goodingness, Music, News and Current Affairs on March 31, 2008 | 2 Comments »
During my workout this morning, I decided to see if there was anything new on MTV or VH1 that might catch my ear. Being old and crotchety, I’m not exactly up-to-date on the latest musical trends, so every now and again I’d like to see if something new pops up that doesn’t totally suck. Imagine [...]
If I Could Talk to the Animals
Posted in News and Current Affairs, Randomness on March 14, 2008 | 2 Comments »
The kooky folks at YABS once again put a smile on my face by pointing this bit of news out to me. Being an animal lover and a big ol’ sucker for a feelgood story, I decided to share. Being a smartass, I couldn’t help but giggle at what I imagine the dolphin actually said [...]
