Sensing that he losing out to Rick Scott as the most horrible fucking governor in the country, Wisconsin cheesedick Scott Walker is trying to kill off some of his lady constituents because…. he’s a cheesedick: First he gutted worker’s rights, then slashed state education funding and dumbed-down sex ed. Next on Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker’s [...]

In honor of the return of The Walking Dead tonight (and it remains to be seen what effect the departure of Frank Darabont has upon the series) may I humbly suggest that you go find yourself a copy of Alden Bell’s The Reapers Are The Angels which is what you would get if you asked [...]

According to the old clock on the wall I’ve been at my real work desk for ….carry the three….oh, about 14 1/2 hours. My goal is to get out of here in a couple of hours, around 1-ish, because I have to be back here at 6am-ish to deal with programers on the elitist east [...]

Take away the shipping and Snowbilly books are cheaper than firewood (click to enlarge): Not to be outdone by Mama Grizzly, Titshimmy’s book is making a run for the Borders remainders table after only eight weeks: My favorite part is eyeshop2000 pointing out that their copy is a “1st edition” because that will be important [...]

A United Nations forecast of the possible movement of the radioactive plume coming from crippled Japanese reactors shows it churning across the Pacific, and touching the Aleutian Islands on Thursday before hitting Southern California late Friday. Health and nuclear experts emphasize that radiation in the plume will be diluted as it [...]

Maybe “experts” like William Saletan should possibly, oh, I don’t know, hold off on the “lessons learned” from the Great Japanese Meltdown until we see exactly how much of the world is gong to be destroyed first. As a west coaster, I for one look forward to the radioactive clouds and my eventual house cat [...]

The American Grotesques known as the Koch brothers are finding it harder and harder to use their traditional means of communication (think tanks, Reason, bloggers at The Atlantic, etc) to convince Americans that eating and breathing industrial effluvia builds strong bodies 12 different ways, so they have turned to the more traditional methods of influence: [...]
