I’ve been following the Frackin’ Cracker story since its first appearance on the news, even before PZ’s first post on the subject. It’s turned into quite the bloody saga of PZ-hating (not to mention creative ways to desecrate a Holy Cracker) out there, with…oh, you guessed it…our bestest buddy Billdo carrying the lead torch […]

So I was idly paging through CNN.com and came across this headline:

Poll shows Americans cool to Michelle Obama
Posted: 10:30 AM ET
Oh brother…aside from the fact that a candidate’s spouse should be a virtual non-issue and so should everybody’s opinion of him or her–
The new Associated Press-Yahoo poll shows 30 percent of Americans view […]

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’ve never seen Sex in the City. I’ve heard it’s good, but not brainwashing, sex-zombie-creating good.
I guess something in the ending credits reminds you not to talk about that bit. And it almost worked.
You can only watch Samantha Jones bed so many gorgeous guys before wondering if 4-inch heels and sky-high confidence would […]

I love it when the mainstream media in the US lets its liberal freak flag fly. You know you’ve found yet another true lefty when they’re writing articles about genocide abroad, the evils of Big Oil, or our health care crisis. Also, when they write an editorial titled “Why I defend President Bush […]

Pastel is the new black.
Please tell me that this article was written by a bored, possibly drunk AP writer having a lark and trying to see what he or she could sneak past the editor.
Prairie skirts are in fashion this season, while dusty pastels and neutrals are being introduced to offset trendy bold colors and […]

The AP’s on top of a crisis of enormous proportions:
Political insiders differed on whether Obama’s comments, which came to light Friday, would become a full-blown political disaster that could prompt party leaders to try to steer the nomination to Clinton even though Obama has more pledged delegates. Clinton supporters were eagerly hoping so.
Wow! A […]

Hello, sunshine! Hello, birds! Hello, Glenn Beck!
We all want to live in a world that’s clean, healthy and prosperous.
Whoa. That’s the most number of words Glenn Beck ever strung together with which I can agree. Though I’m sure his Ralph Lauren-soaked definition of the word prosperous (”A McMansion on every plot, […]

Jessica at Feministing finds another example of my favorite genre: Douchebag On Feminism. In this chapter in our infinite series, feminism has gone too far (dum dum dummmmmmm!)
I happen to speak fluent Douche, so let me translate for you. Blockquotes are Douchy McIssues, italics are translation, regular text is commentary.
So, in this wonderful […]
