As PZ says, here’s an applet that traverses the html of a web page and turns it into a pretty graph, thusly proving that PAB (especially marc) is as delicate as an orchid.

Whenever an article starts out as follows, you know you’re in for a painful ride:
With a touch of divine providence, the debate about illegal immigration is heating up just as Jews prepare for Shavuot. The two-day festival starting the evening of June 1, called Pentecost in English, marks the anniversary of the giving of the [...]

By taking a goddamned cruise, you elitist pieces of shit.
Much love for Ms. Magazine for real, but if you want the cheddar, gangsta, you can get it by without excluding young, less-wealthy feminists, polluting the environment, and exploiting on-board workers who are overworked, underpaid, and trapped on a floating chunk of metal hell [...]

I’m down on Dean, but Reid might get the gold star on my “thanks for nothing” shit list right now. We really appreciate you selling us out, buddy. I didn’t necessarily expect any less, but it’s great you continue to consistently deliver at or below my rock-bottom expectations.
From Old-Fashioned Patriot, who [...]

It must be exhausting to be an evangelical Christian. There’s so much real stuff to battle — gays, baby-hating feminists, Muslims, Janet Jackson, and an inability to cope with one’s own sexual desires — that piling on debates about what really happened between semi-fictional characters in their fun and friendly book of worship seems [...]

But did he [Hitler] stage an “anti-porn rally?” If not, well, the Christians may have him there.
Well the nuremburg rallies were a combination of the republican national convention, a white pride [...]

Via Miniver Cheevy and digby I’ve enjoyed reading the Truthdig report on BattleCry, the wacko militant fundie movement on tour this summer. By far my favorite bit from their show came from BattleCry founder Ron Luce:
“He doesn’t just want to be in your heart, He wants to own your heart…. There’s only one good [...]

University of Maryland, Baltimore County, got a nice, almost fellatio-level write up in the New York Times today.
A study of the university’s science program published in the March 31 issue of the journal Science sets forth an eye-opening recipe for remaking science education in America generally — and in particular, for increasing minority participation, which [...]

Earlier today I noticed an AP article about the advocacy group Dads & Daughters successfully convincing Hasbro to not sell toy versions of the Pussycat Dolls, the uber-annoying Fanta pitch-fembots.
I sure do hate those Pussycat Dolls, but I was even more creeped out by the idea of an organization called Dads & Daughters. It had [...]
