But you know, “shared misery is decreased” and all that. This week’s most disturbing photo from the internet. Get your eyedrops ready, and then click for more… if you dare.

Just… gyah!!! I mean. Ick. How…? Bleagh.
Our fair leader with March of Dimes national ambassador Catharine Aboulhouda. There’s definitely symbolic layers to this imagery. Layers […]

We have a contender.
Meet Dmitri. He’s a pick-up artist, which in itself gives him about 50 million douchebag points. He met a woman named Olga, who talked to him for a few minutes, gave him her card, and said, “Call me.”
So he did. She wasn’t home, and he left the second-douchiest phone message in […]

In honor of congressional candidate Mike Erickson, I thought I’d recycle this oldie-but-goodie–always worth a read!

When the Anti-Choice Choose
By Joyce Arthur

My three favorites:

“I’ve had several cases over the years in which the anti-abortion patient had rationalized in one way or another that her case was the only exception, but the one that really made […]

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 […]

What Americans do half-heartedly, the Russians will attempt with gusto.
Russian lawmakers are weird.
Parliamentary hearings were held yesterday at which the “Concept for a State Policy in the Area of Spiritual and Moral Education of the Children of the Russian Federation and Protection of Their Morals” was discussed.
Really weird:
The draft law “On Children’s Toys” would ban […]

Continued from Part One.
My last major business trip was to Sweden. See, if I just left it at that, it would sound like, really c-o-o-l but in fact, what it was was really freaking C-O-L-D (February!) and yo, it was also really freaking b-u-s-i-n-e-s-s. The trip consisted of twelve-hour days in a mostly […]

The freedom to say ‘no’
Why aren’t there more women in science and engineering? Controversial new research suggests: They just aren’t interested.
Really, we’d much rather be changing shitty diapers, scrubbing toilets and putting out for room, board and an allowance. And that’s what choice feminism is all about!
…no, I’m not being fair. It’s just […]

In a previous post, I described what is a not-uncommon on-the-job incident for me–to wit, having to deal with men who have been, shall we say, societally overprogrammed in terms of the proper roles and abilities of the female half of the human race. A commenter on the thread, after reading my little story, […]

I guess when a country ponders approving a 3 trillion dollar budget when it’s already 9 trillion in the red, the idea of anyone ever actually paying off their bills must seem like a sucker bet. At least, that’s what certain “optimists” are *hoping* is the case when our little tax rebates start showing […]

I really don’t remember this scene from Fantasia.
You may have already seen this, but if you haven’t, do take a moment and check out Cracked.com’s rundown of Disney’s most shameful moments. I mean, not that it’s surprising that a massive corporation run by a right-wing snitch has some skanky race issues, but wow.
Most parents show […]

Anyone care to top “Militant Fecundity”?

Several weeks ago, Oklahoma State head football coach Mike Gundy had an epic YouTube Hall of Fame meltdown at a press conference. Despite having just pulled out a tough win, he was upset over an article written about the benching of his QB. Here’s the rant:

Oh, and did I mention that the article […]
