A couple of weeks ago I mentioned the soul-corroding stupidity to which we seem to have been subjected lately and, certainly, this past week — paging Sarah Palin! — has been one for the Stupid History books. It’s impossible to walk down the street outside my home without encountering construction seemingly designed to inconvenience residents [...]

Education is the civil rights issue of this century!
Thus spake John McCain in his rambling, folksy acceptance speech at the climax of the Republican National Convention last night. Silly me, thinking civil rights was the civil rights issue of this century. I guess now that everyone’s equal except those disgusting, god-affronting queers, we can move [...]

We’ve all wondered what the hell people were thinking when they chose Green Day’s “Time of Your Life” for their wedding or graduation songs — oblivious to the incredibly obvious lyrical sarcasm — so one can only ask what the fuck the Republicans were thinking when they appropriated Heart’s “Barracuda” as Sarah Palin’s theme song [...]

The devices have inadequate directions for use and can have harmful effects, from rupturing blood vessels [...]

Like most of my peers, I have fond memories of Airplane! and the Naked Gun movies, though unlike most of my peers I refuse to actually watch them again. Not quite true; I did, a couple of years ago, catch a few minutes of Airplane!, and found it to be remarkably unfunny. Further cementing this [...]

One of these is a nearly-empty plastic container which, when squeezed, emits noxious materials. The other is Extreme Style hairspray.
No friend of This.That.No Other., Ben Stein continues to exhibit behaviour requiring him to seriously shut the fuck up, like, right now. In a recent column for American Spectator, Stein suggests that Barack Obama is behind [...]

Thirty or so years ago, I was good friends with a fellow who said that if the first words uttered on the first day of the month were “rabbits, rabbits, rabbits,” good luck would befall the utterer for the rest of that month. He didn’t really believe that, of course, but on the occasion that [...]

We have come to the conclusion that at no age are children harmed by seeing the photos of aborted children.
