Firedoglake, home of unapologetic purveyors of blackface, friend to mysogynist self-righteousness, continues to mis-step.
Pachacutec @ FDL likes to soak in sexist asshattery. Zuzu made a clear and simple case for why it’s not okay to paint Congresswomen as knob-slobbering whores:
And, seriously, how can you sit there and be shocked, shocked, that people you don’t […]

GM’s taking steps (albeit baby ones since we know they’ve already developed and quashed a successful electric car) to be more competitive in the environmentally sound market:
General Motors Corp. will introduce new hybrid gasoline-electric autos next year to take sales from Toyota Motor Corp., the leader in the fuel-saving technology.
GM plans three hybrid-electric versions of […]

Raw Story has printed a letter sent to Congress from thousands of US scientists and experts.
In it, our scientific community expresses unconditional recognition of the real dangers of global warming, the impact it’s already had on our planet, and the urgent need for government action to reduce our fossil fuel consumption. Though […]

PS3: For the good of humanity?

Gaming with a heart of gold:

People who buy Sony’s new PlayStation 3 console, which hit U.S. stores last week, could help search for a cure to diseases like cancer and Alzheimer’s by connecting their machines to the Internet.

The new PS3 machines are as powerful as supercomputers and can help Stanford University researchers speed up analysis of complex human protein structures, according to Nanako Kato of Sony’s gaming arm, Sony Computer Entertainment.

When the program — dubbed Cure@PLAYSTATION 3 — is launched, PS3 owners can contribute by registering their machines with Stanford, downloading specially designed software and leaving their machines online to process data when they’re not playing.

Kill people when you’re playing, save them when you’re not.

Have you ever crashed a party with some friends, scamming all the good drinks and roughing up the house like you belong? And as you’re making some new friends, did you ever look around and notice your friends had bailed? And that maybe the people you’d been making nice with aren’t so reliable? […]

What ho, is that a check and/or balance I see over yonder?

U.S. District Judge Audrey B. Collins, in a ruling released Monday, held […]

Chuck Norris is the gift that keeps on giving this holiday season. And here I figured he’d never achieve the dizzying heights of cluelessness that his debut achieved. But here he is, ready to unleash some of that patented kung-fu cowboy action in the War on Christmas, which as you’ll recall has already […]

Via Sadly, No!, Americans for Truth have set up a convenient list of pro-homosexual organizations, just in case you was wondering where the gays were at so you could, uhhh…hate them, yes, that’s it. So you’d be aware of where they were as you thought about how much you hate that sin, that throbbing, […]

Kids say the darnedest things

What with Iraq collapsing and the Republicans suicide-bombing their future, FOX News has turned to covering what really counts: the Britney Spears party watch.
Both the TV network and its website are ogling the newly single Ms. Spears’ forays into hardcore clubbing with America’s favorite professional lush, Paris Hilton:
Spears and Hilton were snapped on […]

Inconvenient, indeed

The National Science Teachers Association would love to tell you why they’re more than willing to show a video called “Fuel-less: You Can’t Be Cool Without Fuel” to millions of kids while quickly rejecting a donation of 50,000 copies of An Inconvenient Truth, but it’s hard to talk when you’ve got a mouthful of greasy, sweaty oil-company ballsack.
