Wheeeeee!!!!

Stupidity is universal.

Reaping the whirlwind

If you really want to attack a ridiculous Conservative idea, ask a Conservative. Link

And now here is Ben Stein, sneering and scoffing at Darwin, a man who
spent decades observing and pondering the natural world — that world
Stein glimpses through the window of his automobile now and then, when
he’s not chattering into his cell phone. Stein claims to be doing it in
the name of an alternative theory of the origin of species: Yet no such
alternative theory has ever been presented, nor is one presented in the
movie, nor even hinted at. There is only a gaggle of fools and
fraudsters, gaping and pointing like Apaches on seeing their first
locomotive: “Look! It moves! There must be a ghost inside making it
move!”

It has to be said, though… if Conservatives like Derbyshire hadn’t thrown in their lot with religious wackjobs in order to get a semi-retarded man elected President, then maybe articles like this one wouldn’t be necessary.

Roll on Sunday

This is just for my family. The cuteness level is way beyond what I would normally inflict on the rest of you.

Love you guys. See you all soon.

Say you, say me, something, something, naturally

F**k off and die, EMI

Excuse my asterisks, but I just got a letter from my online music locker service, MP3Tunes, informing me that EMI are suing them! So once again I’m being told what to do with my OWN MUSIC by SCUMBAG MUSIC INDUSTRY LAWYERS. It makes me sooo…ooooh, it makes me sooooooo…..I’m gonna phone them right now and give them a piece of my mind!

Oh, that would have worked so well if he hadn’t been going on about some woman.

But seriously, fuck you, EMI. Oops. Forgot the asterisks. I’ll put them h**e instead.

What she said

Yes. Absolutely. Exactly. What she said. One of the big mysteries of Western life in the last few years is the phenomenon of no-one giving a fuck about the Iraqi bodycount. Thank God for people like Naomi Klein. (Sorry, forgot I was an atheist. But you know what I mean.)
