I spent the better part of today tweaking a new WordPress install on my host, registered the domain and importing all the old Echoes and Mirrors stuff. The rest of the day was spent creating this glorious beast and watching season 5 of LOST (which included explaining everything to my roomie – guess I’m going [...]

Merry Christmas everyone.  I’m getting primed for New Years Eve and things will probably slow down even more around here while I sort out the issues with my web-development stuff.  Expect Echoes and Mirrors to move soon.  Also, I’m not sure if Craig has plans to post here anymore – he just started a new [...]

Swedish Christmas straw goat burns again: STOCKHOLM – A giant straw goat was burned down yet again early Wednesday in a Swedish city where torching it has become a Christmas tradition, to the dismay of local leaders. Every year I see this article, it brings joy to my heart. Why can’t the city just understand [...]

Just to put things into perspective: the world doesn’t stop being shitty just because it’s the holidays.  A couple of local things and one from afar. Jerry Oliver, founder of Mercy Ministries in Augusta dies. He was tough as nails.  Watching him recover from the stroke he had last year was inspiring.  He will certainly [...]

I had originally planned on posting some really kickass video from Reason TV, but I was blindsided by PajamasMedia.  This is truly demoralizing and defies any sense of reason or liberty: Libertarians Need to Rethink Support for Drug Legalization. Why? Here’s what happened: guy was getting arrested, freaked out because he was carrying a bag [...]

Unlike Rob over at To the People, I think this is great: PALMDALE, Calif. — Schoolteacher Shana Richey misses the playroom she decorated with Glamour Girl decals for her daughters. Fireman Jay Fernandez misses the custom putting green he installed in his backyard. But ever since they quit paying their mortgages and walked away from [...]

This had never even crossed my mind: people standing to wipe their asses: Now, I have lived on this planet for 33 years and I have concluded any extended bathroom venture the same way: sitting down, toilet paper bunched in my right hand, reaching back and around my body and gently wiping upwards, balls to [...]

Ranked by site-meter based on what is bringing people here: Porn. (Edita Bente, specifically) “mirrors and lsd” Cornbrator And the rest seems to be from some cd rips I posted ages ago or random music/movie reviews I’ve written, but those are almost always from foreign countries. I don’t count the hits generated by bloggers checking [...]

When it comes to philosophy (in this case political philosophy,) how you state your argument is arguably just as important as the context of and point you are trying to make. Chuck posted something interesting about the dialectal process being used in the abortion debate. Egalitarianism has slithered its way into our pocketbooks once again; [...]

Seriously, the world needed a horror flick about Vagina Dentata.  Teeth is that movie. I’ve mentioned Vagina Dentata before and it should come as no surprise that I found this movie to be a gold-mine of vagina-related jokes.  Truly, the world has been waiting for a movie about a cooter with the disposition of a [...]
