But it's just possible that I have some blinding rage issues on this front.
Oh yeah. It's bad enough that I consciously avoid thinking about all of it, because it's so fucking appalling I can't handle it.
I'll be in my bunk.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Jess Hemerly showed me this photo of a delightful alteration of an emergency hammer box. I asked her where she got the image and she just said, "the Internet."

It seems to me part and parcel of a lot of conservative policy -- legislating (or educating) for the world the way you wish it was, rather than the world the way it is.
And there's a certain argument for this (high expectations, after all), but sometimes it's just naive and dangerous. And evil. Oops, did I say evil?

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
The thing that makes me craziest about abstainance only education is that its not EDUCATION. It's the refusal to educate.
I'm fond of saying we shouldn't have sex ed at all in schools. We should teach comprehensive biology, hygene, and epidemeology and if the little buggers figure out how their bodies work in the process, well that's just the risk you take when you educate people, huh?

Typographically that issue is a bitch to read, and the error in the final panel made me dizzy because I thought I was misreading it.

Sorry your day suboptimal sarameg.
Last night we bought shin pads and cleats for the kids. My wife is still coming to terms with the fact that she is now actually a soccer mom. Telling her that she now belongs to a politically important swing demographic doesn't seem to help.
