All Komen, All The Time
Thanks to Tbogg, who has been so much more than a snark blogger on this issue—really, go over there and read his posts over the last week as this mess developed and see the marketing perspective on how this disaster unfolded and what it means for SGK in the long run—we get word that it [...]

Little fluffy clouds
I’m trying to understand. I managed to put my back out somewhere in Portugal, then picked up a dread lurgy in Amsterdam, and have therefore spent the last week making my way home to Shady Pines, swathed in a haze of Tiger Balm, vaIium, codeine and champagne, while alternately lying on the floor of hotels [...]

I believe he’s gonna work me into the ground
Gnoot has a post up about his proposal to prepare kids from poor families for the low paying, menial jobs they will often be forced to take after leaving school by giving them low paying, menial jobs while they are at school. Wouldn’t it be great if New York City schools served their students as [...]

Open thread – With vilest worms to dwell
It’s about time we had an Open Thread… Despite the title, this is not the story of the three months I had to share a toiletless bedsit with Mitt Romney in Paris in the late sixties. I know you would thrill to the tales of the adversity we suffered – like the time the Bollinger [...]

This Deceased Equine Quadriped Has Been Pretty Well Whacked, But…
...I’ve never thought enough was that much better than too much, so here, a brief (for me) reaction about the now-notorious Gene Marks piece in Forbes. (With apologies to ABL, DougJ, and John, all of whom get this “timely” thing waaaay better than yours truly.) I popped these thoughts up in response to this piece [...]

Christian Paramilitary Group Members Arrested for Home Invasion
Burgling for Jesus Here’s a nugget of WTF to squirrel away in your Christians Do the Darnedest Things file: Two members of a Christian paramilitary group called “The Savior Unit” were charged with kidnapping and burglary for allegedly conducting a home invasion while clad in ski-masks, military garb and bullet-proof vests. Michael Shaun Schaffran, 32, [...]

Let Newt Get His Geek On
I didn’t watch the debate last night, but I gather that this fell flat for Mitt Romney: Asked where he and Gingrich differed, Romney said, “We could start with his idea to have a lunar colony that would mine minerals from the moon. I’m not in favor of spending that kind of money to do [...]

Cooking with gasbag
Somewhere in Massachusetts, a cold shiver just ran up Tom Levenson’s back, for Megan McArdle has published her “Holiday Gift Guide 2011: Kitchen Edition“. Now, I love cooking (my old English Fruit cake with propofol icing has won several awards) and I love gadgets (particularly the sort that are made by Germans out of latex [...]

Just Rope and Throw and Grab ‘Em
Soon we’ll be living high and wide: Patrick Sullivan was the kind of lawman Coloradoans loved: a straight-shooting, Republican sheriff who once crashed a Jeep through a fence to rescue two deputies from a deranged gun-toting man and pleaded with legislators to keep assault weapons off the street lest any more citizens get shot. On [...]

Front Pager behaving badly
Well, I fucked up. No two ways about it. I could try to explain what I was doing, what I was thinking, what I believed to be the case, but none of that sounds like anything other than petty blame shifting when I write it out in the face of what I actually did. I [...]

Commenters Behaving Badly
I don’t know why anyone should ever have to mention this or deal with it, but I just deleted a couple of comments in ABL’s Naomi Wolfe thread. Two different commenter names, two different email addresses, both pushing the same theme, the same IP address for both. If you can’t make your point without resorting [...]

Wal-Mart Shopper Casually Pepper Sprays Other Shoppers
The savings made her do it. A woman shopping with her two kids at a Wal-Mart in Northridge figured she’d jump on the “casually pepper spray everything” train by pepper spraying other Wal-Mart shoppers to keep them from buying what was constitutionally hers: A woman who pepper-sprayed other shoppers Thursday night at the Wal-Mart in [...]

‘Don’t Shoot Obama’ even if ‘Tempting’ says UT College Republicans President
These clowns are out of their minds. Remember last Friday’s White House shooting incident? At the time, it was reported that the shooting had nothing to do with the White House. Well, apparently, it did—Pennsylvania State Police arrested the shooter, 21 year-old Oscar Ramiro Ortega-Hernandez. Upon hearing the news, Laurene Pierce (President of the College [...]

The Colbert Report Points Out Hypocrisy in “Anti-Bullying” Bills
Cognitive dissonance, thy name is Leviticus. Religious nutbags across the country are getting more and more desperate when it comes to slapping homosexuals upside the head with the Bible. Fighting against a tide of equality, these people are determined to inflict their bastardized version of Christianity on all of us—including our children.1 And if that [...]
