If you’re outside of Canada, you might not be hearing much these days about the case of the Toronto 18, or the Toronto 17, or the Toronto 11 (the number of suspects charged keeps dwindling as the case against them collapses). They are 15 men, mostly in their early 20s, and five kids, all Muslim, […]

A small sampling of what’s often heard ’round the poker table:
“I’m all in!”
“Is that supposed to be, some kinda position raise or something?”
“What you got under there, man? Big slick? Cowboys?”
“Probably ducks.”
“Oooh, dead man’s hand. Against…what is that shit?”
“This is my favorite hand!”
“Why am I not surprised that a flat tire’s your […]

I’m sorry people, but I had a paper due on Monday, a presentation that was due today, and a HUGE paper on whether or not Bahrain will continue to become more free due on Friday, not to mention I just picked up a second job. Expect the post of Childbirth on Saturday or Sunday. […]

Warning: I get pissy below. I EVEN DROP THE F-BOMB.
The sexist smog surrounding Danica Patrick’s career as a racecar driver, culminating in her recent win in Japan, has finally tipped over into the blatantly ridiculous. She’s a winner, it seems, primarily because she is smaller than all the other drivers. […]

The Mary Jane, um, “action” figure below reminded me of this.
I love, love, love comics where I can look at the characters say, “wow. my body actually kinda looks like that.” (this link contains nekkid.)
That page blew my mind, actually.
Obviously, I was aware that comic art is… not exactly realistic. Not for men, but especially-omg-holycrap […]

Hey, I wonder why more women aren’t into sci-fi and fantasy.
In LiveJournal Land, an interesting hoopla has erupted around The Open-Source Boob Project. The story starts at ConFusion in Ann Arbor, an annual sci-fi, fantasy, anime, gaming, comics, etc., convention. If you’ve ever shown up at a con wearing a set of boobs, you know […]

Punkassblog is about many things, but rarely would I count moderation among them. Today’s a different story, though.

Here’s my prediction for Pennsylvania Tuesday: regardless of who wins or by how much, regardless of what it means for the nomination overall, the Democratic infighting between Clinton supporters and Obama supporters will reach a fever […]

don’t like cross-posting, but sometimes i like being lazy.

the only slight difference is that our president is the producer… and there’s no one to remind him that, um… that’s not a horse, buddy… it’s an illegal occupation of a foreign land with no end in sight.

I promised a post, but unforseen circumstances has popped up on my radar, and it shall be delayed. Instead, for your viewing “pleasure”, I give you a troll from my blog. This posting is remarkable in its complete back-aswardness, false information, and inappropriate placement.
Sounds like you are a slut and property.
Really? […]

By my count, it seems that #1 is the one that people want to write about. So, in the next two days, expect a post about the medicalization of birth!

Karol Sheinin unwittingly highlights certain differences of opinion as to the meaning of English words:
I want to free Tibet as much as the next person (in fact, my parents can confirm that I had a “Free Tibet” sticker hanging in my room in their house since about 1992) but I’m not sure what scaling the […]

It sounds like some poker posting is on the table! (pun so not intended)
As I think we’re all coming into this with wildly divergent levels of familiarity and interest, I am going to try to please all the people all the time by writing a thorough yet succinct post that masterfully combines the basics […]
