It’s over at the storage facility. Enjoy.

Posting links to other articles with minimal extra comment is a slackarse trick, but it’s all you’re getting from me for Christmas (and late into the bargain.) I’ve caught the last couple of years worth of The Beast’s “50 Most Loathsome People in America” feature, and 2007′s offering is as good as ever. Obviously I’ve [...]
Here’s a lovely carol for the season. Enjoy!
Christmas Eve watching the short videos Rare Exports and Rare Exports Inc, The Official Safety Instructions . Good Stuff!! Makes me want to move to Finland.
Like the General, I like gladiators all right… this is hysterical. Just what I needed on this dismal day. Cheers, all
…to share my own good news, a long time in coming, when my own people, my home — are being tasered, sprayed with chemical agents that ought not even be LEGAL, and denied their legal right to participate in “their” (we know who really owns it, don’t we) government. It especially does the heart good [...]
I’ve found a nation that will take refuges from the former United States of America!But we’d better hurry because judging from the comments at the article they’re going to be having an immigration nightmare real fast. A delegation of Lakota leaders delivered a message to the State Department on Monday, announcing they were unilaterally withdrawing [...]
From: Ten Things Christians and Atheist Can – and Must – Agree On “Ten Things” is an interesting article with very funny graphics – worth a look. But I guess I don’t like anyone telling me what I MUST do. About the only thing I do agree with Christians on is that Coors is crap [...]
A friend of my boyfriend’s got home from Iraq a few weeks ago. He spend awhile talking with me about it. I had never really held a conversation with him before, thanks to all the pot we used to smoke, and I had no idea he was so damn intellectual. Especially after I found out [...]
“One critical question being considered in the Senate’s FISA bill is whether to offer telecom companies retroactive immunity for any actions they undertook in the wireless surveillance program….Senator Chris Dodd of Connecticut has been a vocal opponent of telecom immunity and has promised to filibuster any FISA legislation that includes this provision.”
but I have something serious to say and do not want to put it here for a lot of reasons. So just click. And it is not about having a relationship with a midget. It IS seriously meant. Really.
I found some letters from a rogue elf. (I had thought that Culture Ghost stopped blogging…) It was on Crooks and Liars, and since we should have something schadenfreudlicious… well….. LPF, am backdating this down into the line. Your post is far more important. Isn’t it nice that blogger gives us time turners? You know [...]
The Vancouver Sun is giving away an MP3 download of Seriously West Coast, Volume 2 – Happy Holidays for your listening pleasure. Registration is required for the download, but not real info – when will these bozos learn? Anyway, feel free to use my favorite fake addy, nospam4me@phuque.yu. I’m sure some poor bastards in Yugoslavia [...]
I’ve received lots of emails this season from friends and family advocating a rather aggressive stance regarding Christmas and Christmas trees. These notes suggest that I stare down store clerks and force them to say “Merry Christmas,” rather than “Happy Holidays,” and threaten boycott if they don’t. They also suggest that I say “Merry CHRISTmas,” [...]
Why HE didn’t post it here, a’la RenB’s outrage at Pope Panzerfaust/Chupacabra/NAZI YOUTH, I have no idea, but he sent it to me, with the subject line: “*grumblegrumblegrumblebitchgrowlsnarlgrumblegrumble*” and I thought that y’all should read it for yourselves, as StealthBadger should’ve posted it here himself (maybe if I say it often enough, he’ll get the [...]
and I really thought I shouldn’t put this here, but this morning I read something that made me angry on a very personal level, and rather than let my blood pressure reach 200 again, which makes me wonky, I let off steam. Annti was offended that I didn’t do it here. So the link is [...]
Update: If you go by our Site Meter, most of our readership and/or flyby traffic comes from lurkers. But ever since I linked to this story about what KBR did to Jamie Leigh Jones, suddenly we’ve got visitors from Northrup Grumman. For those of you who aren’t involved in defense-contracting and ship-building and crewing offshore [...]
