Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

A reader alerts us to news of Pat Robertson's latest fatwa: Calling down the Almighty exact revenge for the town of Dover, Pa. tossing out the school board who mandated that "intelligent design" (i.e. "magic") be taught in schools. "I'd like to say to the good citizens of Dover: if there is a disaster in your area, don't turn to God, you just rejected Him from your city." [link]

Yeah, that's weird since Intelligent Design has NOTHING AT ALL to do with creationism.

Because, sarameg, you don't want to disappoint.

That and I don't care to point out what a big slacker I am....

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Gah. That Esquire article is brilliant, but also infuriating.

At the moment I feel like it is too late for America - we are in decline (in so many ways) and the institutions we need to stop it (the press and the government, mostly) are too damaged to stop it.

But maybe I'll feel better tomorrow....

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

1. I am bored

2. I can't leave for another hour

3. Entertain me, O internets!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I want to make a shirt that has a take out cup of coffee on it that says "caffeinated and pink...FEAR ME" on it.

ha! I need one that says "overcaffeinated and underslept"

Speaking of caffeination, I found a coupon in my box today offering me a free tasting from Starbucks. Do we think it's a full cup of coffee? 'Cause then it's totally worth walking over to the far away coffee vendor.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

the nurse that treated him for injuries on the Evel Knievel biopic.
So we're calling the creature on his face a head injury?

I need to clean out my closets. I really need to go through my shoes. How in the hell did I get this many pairs of shoes? I don't actually like shopping for shoes. I don't actually do it either. They are breeding in the closet and frankly evolution is not making them any cuter.

a head injury?

If so, a rather cruel manifestation of one.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm wearing a t-shirt with the Wonder Woman logo. It's not as soft and pretty as my other superhero shirts, but it has a certain glossy decal quality to it that's boosting in a retro 70s way.
