Pair Accused of Filching Fillings From Dental Labs The headline for this article. Explaining it might ruin the fun.  I have to hand it to those zany AP writers – they got me good today.

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 [...]

I just stumbled upon this article about the new Mad Max flick. Sam Worthington seems like a good choice, but I am not entirely convinced. Max wasn’t a badass because he was necessarily physically endowed – it was because he was smart and took risks (although he was fit enough to pull off whatever he [...]

This Fark.com thread is making me all sorts of stupid happy right now. The arguments about memeology (is that correct?) are funny, but the whole Glenn Beck “controversy” is pure gold.

MILWAUKEE (AP) — PepsiCo Inc. is facing criticism for an iPhone application that promises to help men “score” with two dozen stereotypes of women by giving users pickup lines and a scoreboard to keep track of their conquests.

I read that as “Governor Palin has been very cooperative with her ghost-writer and actually talked to him/her.” The publisher [...]

Good Novels Don’t Have To Be Hard Work But let’s look back for a second at where the Modernists came from, and what exactly they did with the novel. They drew a tough hand, historically speaking. All the bad news of the modern era had just arrived more or less at the same time: mass [...]

America’s War on the Overweight Practically the minute President Obama announced Regina M. Benjamin, a zaftig doctor who also has an M.B.A. and is the recipient of a MacArthur “genius grant,” as a nominee for the post of Surgeon General, the criticism started. The attacks were vicious—Michael Karolchyk, owner of a Denver “anti-gym,” told Fox [...]

Ted Kennedy is dead. He probably did more damage to this country in all his years of service through liberal asshattery than anyone else I can think of.
