At least not so much lately in America. Of course, cynics would say that, by merely parroting the propaganda of the powerful, they are doing PRECISELY their job, because that’s what they’re kept around for in the first place. And, well, I guess the cynics would probably be right. But appearances of speaking truth to [...]

This is the quality of news reporting today.
There was no teen pregnancy pact in Massachussetts.
There are no painted, spear-throwing primitives attacking Great White Helicopters in Brazil.
No shit Don Imus is a racist. Hello?

The AP is in the running for best headline of the year:
Everything seemingly is spinning out of control
WASHINGTON (AP) — Is everything spinning out of control? Midwestern levees are bursting. Polar bears are adrift. Gas prices are skyrocketing. Home values are abysmal. Air fares, college tuition and health care border on unaffordable. Wars without end [...]

…or maybe it was CHUCK NORRIS!!
Apparently though, I am not the only person who has a secret addiction to Chuck Norris jokes. What is the draw..? I totally can’t say. The shameless hilarity, maybe…the unmitigated cheeze factor…it may forever remain a mystery…
I haven’t said much (okay, I haven’t said anything) about the [...]

I know. I suck. I promise there will be one next Friday.
UPDATE: gnaddrig has stepped into the breach–thanks!

I live right on the commuter train line to DC. Seriously. It would cost me less than ten bucks to attend this thing AND in an environmentally-friendly fashion too! (Okay, plus $95 for the ticket, but still! CHEAP!)
For $95, they do emphasize a refusal to feed you, but you get [...]

The first I actually heard about Rebecca Walker’s “Mommie Dearest”-style expose of the horrors of growing up as well-known feminist author Alice Walker’s daughter was on Michelle Malkin’s website–yeah, I admit, I periodically nip over there, mostly because she’s just so controversial that I just KNOW she must have SOMETHING to say that’ll really wow [...]

This totally made my day. From PZ Myers:
I just got an email listing 50 “proofs” for the existence of a god.
You can see the whole list here; I’m just gonna reproduce my absolute favorites. With possibly a little commentary.
