Women may or may not dominate the blogging community, according to a survey at TechBlorge.com that apparently only they can see, for there was no external link.
The survey also revealed that more women than men are bloggers, with 20% of American women who have visited blogs having their own versus 14 % of men.
Of course, […]

More cheap shots

Like the time that Dick Cheney shot that guy, I’m convinced that there can never be enough jokes about Republican homobigots getting busted for the very sort of behaviour they try to outlaw. Schadenfreude doesn’t begin to cover it.
The transcript itself.
Keith Olbermann’s—um—reenactment:

The arresting officer manages to get a bit of racism in there:

Accusing Craig of […]

We’re barely into the first week of classes and already a thrilling novelty gas-guzzling vehicle is on it’s way and the air is crackling with excitement. Can you guess who?

Pfft, I wish! The Weinermobile, how cool would that be? No, our visitor is more controversial.

No, they usually show up right before break, […]

Q: If you’re part of the mainstream media, how do you paint a lying, partisan, criminal hack on his way out the door?
A: As noble victim of the same types of crimes he actually committed.
The Houston Chronicle’s piece this morning by Patty Reinart should be inserted in journalism textbooks as the seminal example of how […]

Add Christopher “gin-soaked ex-Trotskyite poppinjay” Hitchens to the list of people whom it’s almost too easy to poke fun at, were it not so intensely gratifying. Like that other “sensible liberal” Michael Ignatieff, the Hitch has tried for a public retraction of his previous unconditional and vocal support for the Anglo-American genocidal assaults on Iraq […]

Walmart, always famous for having it’s fingers on the pulse of the free market tried to score some secondhand cool cred off of Facebook, with shockingly less than stellar results:
Analysts have applauded Wal-Mart Stores Inc.’s new “Roommate Style Match” group on Facebook.com, created to help college roommates link up online to coordinate back-to-school purchases at […]

I hate women and children.
Unless they’re naked.
And hopefully being abused.
After all, that’s what being a liberal’s about — harnessing the power of “perversion” to degrade our womenchattel and child sex-toys.
It’ a shame the powerful deductive mind of one Kevin McCullough (he of the oh-so-thoughtful Musclehead Revolution) had to go and figure […]

Maybe it’s coincidence. Maybe it’s proof of a correlation between getting laid and voting Democratic.
How these pieces of evidence relate to each other is up for debate, but we do know two things:
1) Of all age groups in 2004, 70-80 year olds were by far the most likely to vote Democrat.
My ageism […]

Mocking evolutionary psychologists is about as much of a cheap shot as mocking libertarians*, but every so often, I can’t resist. It’s an entire “discipline” seemingly devoted to:
1) Why first-year college boys can’t get any action with the attractive blonde women they see around campus, and
2) Why men basically suck at everything and therefore need […]

Need a chili recipe

I took the written part of my candidacy exam yesterday and tomorrow’s the oral*. Next week I find out if I did OK or not. Advice has ranged from “OMG!111!! Red alert!” to “Did you write something down for every question? Then you passed.” So who knows?

Anyway, my program is chock full of supportive people, almost a dozen of which helped us prepare by giving us a three hour interrogation last week. I invited them all over for a thank you dinner and now I need to decide what to make. I was thinking vegetarian chili, rye bread, cheesy potatoes and cupcakes.

Anyone got any good vegetarian chili recipes? I have a large Crockpot and access to a grocery store.

*Not as sexy as it sounds, although if it was then at least I’d be sure I could pass.

Ahh, it’s the beginning of the school year - a time fraught with fraughty goodness for incoming undergraduates heading off to the first day of their new classes. I remember the computer science class where the graduate TA simply never showed up, and the resulting hissy fit some guy sitting behind me pitched while […]

They were right all along
A woman and a neuroscientist (same person) asks, why are all these little girl products pink? Do the girls really love the pink so much?
Answer, yes, yes they do and they can’t help it. They evolved that way.
As the mother of a newborn baby girl, Dr. Anya C. Hurlbert […]
