There is no candidate who can rightly be called middle-class. Don’t let them sway you with life stories and down-home country charm. They are rich, rich, rich. They have the best health insurance this country can afford.
Don’t you ever let any politician convince you that they know where you’re coming from. They don’t.
We should be [...]

I think labels are really useful, especially in the vegetarian/vegan community. It’s really easy to pick out the crazy assholes based on whether or not they defend their label.
Listen, I get that vegetarians/vegans have chosen to adhere to a certain lifestyle. It just so happens that most of that lifestyle revolves around foodages. What I [...]

A lot of people are talking about how crazy PETA is since they wrote Ben and Jerry’s telling them to use human breast milk instead of cow’s milk. Ben and Jerry’s released a statement saying they applauded their out-of-the-box thinking but thought that human babies needed that breast milk.
Hello? Welcome to PETA’s point.
If you’ve never [...]

This is the funny thing about online classes - you still get the same people. I find this amusing.
The most irritating person in real-live class discussions is that one kid. There is always one, there is usually only one. They treat the class like their personal showcase, arguing with the professor and classmates, offering help [...]

Maybe you guys have been following the upheaval in the light of Palin’s email being “hacked” last week. Maybe you’ve been watching Oprah discuss anonymous, describing it as a terrorist network of child molesters. Maybe you’ve been on 4chan laughing your ass off to a video of Oprah reading an obviously sarcastic comment posted on [...]

I have a mildly irritating little application called Pocket Express on my smartphone. Pocket Express delivers news, movie showtimes, and lots and lots of advertisements, and it’s apparently pretty ubiquitous in the world of PDA phones.
One of the items offered by Pocket Express is a travel blog. I read through it the other day, finding [...]

If you commit a crime, you should be punished. No matter how “good” a person you are. See, the law doesn’t judge your morals, just your actions and your intentions.
All I know is if I asked my gma to let me sit on the roof of her car, she would have told me no in [...]

From the NYT about “Trolls“.
I am sick of people saying this is shocking or frightening. You’re an idiot who shouldn’t be on the internet.
The internet is this grand dance of anarchy and humanity. It’s extraordinary. People do awful things without fear of repercussion on the internet. Isn’t that amazing and educational? I say this as [...]

Yomato Sushi, located at 959 Ritchie Highway in Arnold, MD, is nestled unassumingly in the middle of a plain shopping center. The restaurant’s humble appearance might lead a prospective diner to expect a less-than-stellar dining experience. That prospective diner would be correct.
Last weekend was the second time we’ve eaten at Yomato Sushi, and the second [...]

It’s not often that I’m seething before I finish my morning slim-fast, but what do you know? This morning is shaping up to be one of those days. Because of this article: Religious Freedom Vs. Patient’s Rights.
Give me a fucking break, already.
EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US CHOOSES OUR JOB. WE CAN QUIT AND GET A [...]
