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?

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

After reading a Courtney Martin article on sex education that’s been covered quite well across the blogosphere, my mind was immediately flooded with the kneejerk reactions I would expect to hear from your standard-issue rape-apologist wingnut.
Courtney opens her article by recounting the story of her friend, Jen, whose sociology professor described the power […]

So I’m a punkass now. Believe me, I’m as surprised as you are.
To celebrate, I thought I’d pop some champagne and share with you what I learned from PZ Myers today: Christian fundamentalists in America are being persecuted.
Ken Ham’s creation museum hasn’t even opened its doors yet, and things are already getting ugly […]

Here at punkassblog, we fully endorse the virtualization of your identity. As the state of the country and the condition of the world worsens, why not jack into the matrix and live out the life of which you always dreamed in a land unBushed by war and misery?

There is no stronger weapon in the anti-feminist arsenal than that of making feminists defend the same damn obvious points again and again and again. And if you don’t believe me, check out my 300-comment thread where a guy whines repeatedly that a few wrongful rape convictions compared to an ocean of unreported rapes […]

Since our hit count has skyrocketed thanks to the obsession over Tamara Hoover, I figured a saucily-titled follow-up would ensure maximum pr0n addict traffic thanks to the power of google.

I don’t mean to be a stickler, but those quotation marks are completely unnecessary.

Our slow-burning thread on teacher Tericka Dye being fired in Kentucky for having performed in pornography years ago still gets a trickle of comments. So for those of you who like a good teacher/nudity debate, allow me to present an updated scenario from right here in supposedly-hip Austin, TX.

St. Thomas Myers poking some religious dude in his spaz hole, but will he follow through to pwn him fully?
