I was kinda gripped by this article on Helium a few days ago. It kinda struck me as panicky and sensationalistic, or in other words, crap. Doomsday: How BP Gulf disaster may have triggered a ‘world-killing’ event Ominous reports are leaking past the BP Gulf salvage operation news blackout that the disaster unfolding in the [...]

Two loud bangs end 25 years on death row for Gardner – Salt Lake Tribune. For the nation, Gardner’s death marked what could be the final execution of its kind in the country. Utah is the only state still using a firing squad, and only four men on death row could still choose it. The [...]

I have pretty much lost all hope of trying to highlight the fact that things are getting worse. It’s simply become so pervasive and so common place.  People I talk to seem think one of a few things: I have a tin-foil hat hidden somewhere out of sight. The current status quo is ‘fine’ because [...]

Gulf of Mexico oil slick: Sarah Palin fuels anti-British sentiment – Telegraph. Apparently we’re still fighting off the Brits.  Or something. Maybe we’re trying to get the crown out of Canada (for their own sake)? Beats me. Also, this sort of rabble-rabble seems to be early promotional material for her 2012 run at the GOP [...]

First on 12: Neighborhood wins “war” to keep homeless vets off their street. “You know,” said Susan Chick. “That’s not who you want living in your front yard.” Somebody is building, gasp, a housing complex for homeless veterans near the VA hospital.

House Clears Path for Final Health Vote “It’s liberating legislation,” Ms. Pelosi said. “It’s to free Americans to live their passion, reach their aspirations without being job-locked because they have to have health care, especially if they have someone in their family with a pre-existing condition.” It’ll liberate money from my pocket, if nothing else.

From Class War by Steven Greenhut over at Reason: There was a time when government work offered lower salaries than comparable jobs in the private sector but more security and somewhat better benefits. These days, government workers fare better than private-sector workers in almost every area—pay, benefits, time off, and job security. And not just [...]

Dear Conservative Movement:  Stop Ruining My Life, by Michael Brendan Dougherty You go so far as to encourage people to fabricate their entire identity from the Republican platform. Look at S.E. Cupp. She used to be a person! Now, under your influence, she is one of the lamer Rush Limbaugh monologues from the Clinton era. [...]

The future is bright for the lazy, fat, baby-making masses.
