As American workers, those fortunate enough to be employed anyway, rush to complete year-end projects, let us take a moment to marvel at the outgoing 113th Congress. As our own Sarah Jones reported last week, this group is the least productive on record. As of this writing, the sorry bunch of elected officials has passed just 55 laws this calendar year, seven fewer than ...
This past weekend, Peter LaBarbera, founder of the Naperville, Ill.-based anti-gay hate group Americans for the Truth About Homosexuality (AFTAH), was in Jamaica pushing his extremist views. "Do not be like us, do not be like Britain, do not sit idly by as so-called 'LGBT activists' manipulate words and laws to achieve dominance in your country," LaBarbera told a conference of Christian conservatives in ...
One more time I will not call for new gun laws, but instead explain to all my friends how dangerous it is just to have a gun in your house. Once more I will point out that you are in more danger from that gun you own than you are from crime. You don't want to become one of these sad tales, you should ...
Protesters Surround Google Bus in San Francisco. Obnoxiousness Ensues. This morning in San Francisco, anti-eviction protesters surrounded one of the private buses that Google uses to shuttle its San Francisco-based employees to the company's headquarters in Mountain View every day. The protest was part of a large and growing backlash against the city's "techies," who are accused by various parties of ruining the city's ...
Accelerated Christian Education's sole purpose is to make people dumber. The most obvious way ACE is crap is in its multiple choice questions (of which there are thousands). Here, for your general amusement, are some I found yesterday. I make no claim that these are the best (or worst) of it. They're just a few I dug up in a cursory jaunt through the ...
"In this country, you don't get anywhere without working hard," said James Lott, 28, a pharmacist in Renton, Wash., who adds to his six-figure salary by day-trading stocks. The son of Nigerian immigrants, Lott says he was able to get ahead by earning an advanced pharmacy degree. He makes nearly $200,000 a year. After growing up on food stamps, Lott now splurges occasionally on ...
Palin will have to meet the high bar set by the channel's last huge hit, Aporkalypse: 2013 about the growth in the feral pig population. The Sportsman Channel said Monday it has hired Sarah Palin to be host of a weekly outdoors-oriented program that will celebrate the "red, wild and blue" lifestyle. The program, "Amazing America," will debut next April. The Sportsman Channel is ...
Posted for the shear irony: The Republican freakout over the Affordable Care Act has gotten so out of control and elaborate that the freakout is creating more "problems" now for Republicans to freak out over. It's a dragon eating its own tail form of outrage creation. For instance, conservatives are up in arms because congressional staffers now can have insurance plans that cover abortion, ...
I only learned of this yesterday, and was sad to hear that "Progressive talk" will end on KTLK 1150 AM on January 1st, to be replaced by wingnut radio. I can't say I'm surprised by this. KTLK is a weak station that also carries Los Angeles Kings hockey games, UCLA football games, and other sports which often pre-empt scheduled programming, and as a result ...

Sometime during this contest, the ASP 2013 World Title will be decided. If Mick Fanning gets past the Quarter Finals, he will win the title, even if Kelly Slater wins the contest. Kelly is basically ...
Last week, President Obama gave one of the most important speeches of his presidency when he spoke about the rapidly growing deficit of opportunity in this country. It was the president's most focused and deliberate address on income inequality to date, but for many it wasn't nearly alarmist enough, for it didn't recognize how far this nation has fallen. It's time we call it ...
Words, and the way we use them to describe rape, sexual assault, domestic violence, and sexual slavery, can evoke sympathy or revulsion toward the perpetrator of a crime or the person who was victimized. Furthermore, both the media and the legal system have tremendous power in eliciting emotions and stirring the pot of public sentiment. Take the mid-November arrest of George Zimmerman--yes, the same ...
The Miz teams up with The Muppets to co-star in an AWESOME "Muppisode" which leaves a highly outspoken WWE Superstar covered in a concoction stirred up by the Swedish Chef. It's the Swedish Chef vs. Gordon Ramsay! With extra WWE love! Foodies and Muppet-fans UNITE!
Could have put this under "Wingnuts," but this happened awhile ago, so I thought "History" was more fitting. Anyone on the right wants to claim Republicans or conservatives never supported the Apartheid regime, here's something else you can use to debunk them. This was also motivated by profit, so whoever says greed is good, has been proven wrong in this case as well. That ...
Question-How big is a cubitAnswer-Not nearly big enough I am a person of faith, brought up WASP. But a literalist interpreation of the bible makes no sense to me. At the end of the day, every bible ever scribed, chiseled in stone, printed or PDF is the work of humanity. Humans. Lil edit there, did not mean to imply a greater participation than the ...

Anyway this Lemon Meringue Pie was made the old-fashioned way and took over an hour of back breaking hard work so try it out! ...
There are indeed things we don't talk about and it's long past time we do talk about it, share it and stop feeling it's our fault. Mental, emotional and financial abuse is widespread. It may not leave bruises, but the injuries run deep. Women from all walks of life can be subject to it. It happens to people of all races, all faiths, all ...
Posting this as a San Diegan and why I haven't bought that fish rag called the Union Tribune in years. I've literally turned down free copies of it, its that worthless a paper: Recently Papa Doug has taken time out from cheerleading for a new football stadium that will cost the local taxpayers upwards of around $300 to 500 million (the same taxpayers who ...
