In a pure stroke of serendipity, I got an email from a friend this morning just after I’d posted this to my close, real-space friends and family on my personal Facebook page: Just heard the “News” that some player on the 49ers said something stupid about gays, has to do the whole “public apology” deal,…

America Lost Its Soul and Wants Socialism, Now; so Fuck It (America)
Laf. You go, “foreigners.” Thanks for keeping the spirit we squandered, alive. Fuck Obama and his Stupid Bitch. Said it way back when (2007), still saying it. Yea yea: fuck Bush, Clinton, Reagan, etc. etc….
Rush to Equality
The Trees There is unrest in the forest There is trouble with the trees For the maples want more sunlight And the oaks ignore their pleas The trouble with the maples (And they’re quite convinced they’re right) They say the oaks are just too lofty And they grab up all the light But the oaks…
Sound the Bugles: A Crap-Bag Snack That May Not Be So Bad
My other indulgence yesterday, whilst in my dark cave watching Breaking Bad with all means of communication shut off, was a single serving-sized bag of Bugles. I don’t know whether for lack of attention or that they just have not been around enough to grab attention, but I recall as a kid that they came…
Thanks
I went dark yesterday Got up, turned off the phone, the iPad, the MacBook Air and didn’t rejoin the digital world again until this morning. My birthday gift to myself. Didn’t watch any TV—except episode after episode of Breaking Bad in a dark room (midway through season 3, now). Yea, I know, so don’t bother…
Dogs Are Man’s Best Nemesis, When You Include Diet?
Going way way back, one of my favorite things to mock & ridicule for base ignorance was the Creationist—picture it—sitting there with a dog on one side, petting a cat on his lap…and the dog didn’t go after the cat. …Get this, because you’ll laf: millions of people in America fervently believe God created them like…
Gun LOL: Seattle Cops Get Pwned
Pwned Nothing gives me an eye roll quite as much as hearing the phrase “gun culture” applied to America. Alls I can’t figure out is which is dominant. Is it the “gun culture,” “big-car culture,” The “drive-in, diners & dives culture,” or something else altogether? Or, do all these sub-cultures simply have a common thread…
Corralling The Paleo “Movement” is Like Herding Cats
If You Play in Open Sewers and Ghettoes, Expect the Expected
Barrio Barreto, Philippines, 1984-1989 From October of 1984 through March of 1989, I came to know all there was to know about Subic Bay, Philippines. Angeles City, Manilla, and other places and islands, too—but mostly Subic; or, “Pubic,” as we used to say. …The Barrio Barreto is a place about 15 minutes and 2 pesos…

Teach Literal Creationism in Public Schools NOW!
Let’s just cede the entire public school system to the Fundamentalist Christians. …the state of Colorado, apparently, still wants to live in the 15th century: Just a few days ago, a bill was introduced into my home state’s legislature that would allow teachers “to miseducate students about evolution, whether by teaching creationism as a scientifically…
“Oh, the Pasta-Bilities”
Made me chuckle, so why not a post so you can too? It came via one of those emails this morning. Y’know, the ones you get from your health care provider—in this case, Kaiser Permanente—because they want to see you making better lifestyle choices in the pursuit of lower costs and hence, greater profits. Nothing…
Myopia: Viewing Paleo-Libertarianism Through a Statist-Collectivist Lens
I’d received a link to this particular new journalist screed from some readers back when I was on vacation in Mexico over holiday. Scanned through it, figured Atossa Araxia Abrahamian (nor Marlene Zuk, biologist at U.C. Riverside, who wrote: What Evolution Really Tells us about Sex, Diet, and How We Live) wasn’t really into paleo. Did a…
Fear of Fat, Fear of Fatness, or Both?
This, from The New York Times, came to me a while back and initially gave me a raised eyebrow. Our Absurd Fear of Fat. Interestingly, the original working title is likely this: Our Imaginary Weight Problem: (http://www.nytimes.com/2013/01/03/opinion/our-imaginary-weight-problem.html). This tells me that the author, Paul Campos, changed his title in draft, not bothering to go back and…

Oops. Typo….
Gordon Ramsay ‘Fuck You It’s Raw’ Scrambled Eggs
To my own extreme displeasure and self loathing, I cannot seem to delete a single fucking episode of Hell’s Kitchen from my DVR without watching it, first. Fuckin’ brilliant, mate! While I’ve dumped many fucking programs I used to watch, this one seems to stay. Fuckin’ Gordon, like me, has this sort of passive-aggressive way…
