State of the Union
Bush: The first agreement that will come before you is with Colombia, a friend of America that is confronting violence and terror and fighting drug traffickers. If we fail to pass this agreement, we will embolden the purveyors of false populism in our hemisphere.
Greg: Yes, DAMN those purveyors of false populism!! Bush, you should just stick with "evil-doers."

This was a fun personality test!! It says I am a “Considerate Inventor.” If any of you take this test, lemme know; I’d love to compare. There’s Facebook integration too.
The Bible According to Google Earth →
Scenes from the Bible have been imagined by countless artists over the centuries, but never quite like this. God’s Eye View portrays four key Biblical events as if captured by Google Earth.
Note to Self
Don’t try to give lap dances while drunk. Actually, don’t give them sober, either. It looks more like a rhinoceros mating ritual.
100 Greatest Quotes from fundamentalist christian... →
I am a bit troubled. I believe my son has a girlfriend, because she left a dirty magazine with men in it under his bed. My son is only 16 and I really don’t think he’s ready to date yet. What’s worse is that he’s sneaking some girl to his room behind my back. I need help, God! I want my son to stop being so secretive!
Because that's what friends are for. Apparently.
I went to Nichole’s lake house again over the MLK weekend. She had been excited about this for weeks, anticipating a number of her other friends coming along, but it ended up just being her, me, and Heather. It wasn’t bad, really, but the late-night makeover parties we had weren’t nearly as fun. Plus the fuchsia nail polish they got me does not match my shoes. At all. We...

Newsflash: Time May Not Exist →
“One finds that time just disappears from the Wheeler-DeWitt equation,” says Carlo Rovelli, a physicist at the University of the Mediterranean in Marseille, France. “It is an issue that many theorists have puzzled about. It may be that the best way to think about quantum reality is to give up the notion of time—that the fundamental description of the universe must be timeless.” T-Rex is a fan of...

Not counting animals PETA held only temporarily in its spay-neuter program, the organization took in 3,061 “companion animals” in 2006, of which it killed 2,981. According to Virginia’s Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (VDACS), the average euthanasia rate for humane societies in the state was just 34.7 percent in 2006. PETA killed 97.4 percent of the animals it...
‘Filipino Monkey’ behind threats? →
The threatening radio transmission heard at the end of a video showing harassing maneuvers by Iranian patrol boats in the Strait of Hormuz may have come from a locally famous heckler known among ship drivers as the “Filipino Monkey.” … So with Navy officials unsure and the Iranians accusing the U.S. of fabrications, whose voice was it? In recent years, American ships operating in the Middle...
I Got What America Needs Right Here, by Jimmy... →
Oh, what’s that I hear? The weather’s all screwy? You got a global warming problem? Boo-fucking-hoo! I was telling you morons to turn off your lights and unplug all your shit at night to conserve energy in 19-fuckin’-75, for chrissake. Gee, I wonder what woulda happened if we’d all switched to solar power like I fucking did back when we had a fucking chance to do something...
Cock Shots
Winter Quarter started this week, and all I can say is, THANK GOD. No one should have to endure a seven week-long winter vacation in Ohio. NO ONE. Seven weeks anywhere else would be bearable, if not enjoyable — but here, the sun likes to go away for weeks at a time, which is like being locked in a dark closet everywhere you go. We got some weird e-mails from the administration on the...
Warren Ellis' Three Laws of Robotics →
1. Robots couldn’t really give a fuck if you live or die. Seriously. I mean, what are you thinking? “Ooh, I must protect the bag of meat at all costs because I couldn’t possibly plug in the charger all on my own.” Shut the fuck up.

Area Man Parks Car On House Roof, Tells Police... →
Chickasha resident James McFarlan, a 45-year-old computer analyst and part-time fabric designer, drove this morning into Annie Svenson’s home roof after what he referred to as an incident with his car GPS. “I told him [Sheriff Furillo] that my GPS made me do it. I was just driving when the nice sexy voice inside the box told me to turn left while I was driving through the bridge on...
