• Note to self: keep a closer eye on girlfriend’s birth control routine. If you consider the cost of raising a child (and it’s even higher than the study claims), $20 a month for birth control pills is a long-term investment

• One more reason I am embarrassed to be a United States citizen… Seriously, when the BBC reports on things in this country, one realizes just what a fucked up place it is. We may have the world’s largest economy but what’s that worth when so many of my countrymen are morons who believe in biblical magic and support a capitalist healthcare system that treats patients as dollar signs?

• Maybe I should look into selling my soul. It turned out pretty well for Henry Hill, he’s not even looking over his shoulder anymore.

• If Nader doesn’t win, this scenario wouldn’t be so bad…

Oliver Stone isn’t wasting any time, he’s working on a film while the prez is still in office!  I’m still waiting for Danny Devito  to reprise his role as the Penguin for a film about Dick Cheney…

Meanwhile, Bush and co. are avoiding accountability for that mess they’ve made 

Alls I know is my boy Nader wouldn’t easily lend himself to exploratory films about past alcoholism and failed presidencies…

Wow!  I didn’t think people were really like this but I guess I should have learned not to underestimate the possibilities of human thought.

I thought it was a joke at first but it’s worth a read… Religious extremism never fails to titillate me.

I’m not seeing the jump in logic here.  How can an extra $600 in my pocket create jobs?  Are they trying to say that if we go out and blow it, somehow all these new openings will be created?  What if we all go out and blow our money at different times?  What if we use it to pay down debts?  What if we stick it in savings?  What if we all spend it at Amazon.com, will they have to hire extra people to work the mail room?  Seriously, how did this reporter report this quote and then provide ZERO details explaining the logic of the statement?  The ONLY purpose of this is to put a glow on the rebate policy by hoping nobody questions the statement.  Meanwhile, BBC News reports that Americans are tightening their belts.

Best argument yet in favor of improving schools.
