It's been a long wait but the sequel to E.T. has been green-lighted


Sarah "dog whistle" Palin has been caught sock-puppeting her own Facebook page


A Chinese man has died after a three day gaming marathon


The Chinese government has made it illegal to be reincarnated without official permission

"He felt compelled to showboat about his big achievement: He opened my son's computer, took a photo of himself sneering as he pointed to the cash lifted from my son's desk, and then went on my son's Facebook account and posted the picture for 400 teenagers to see. In the picture, the man is wearing my new winter coat, the one that was stolen right out of the Macy's box it had just arrived in."

The U.S. Army illegally ordered a team of soldiers specializing in "psychological operations" to manipulate visiting American senators into providing more troops and funding for the war...and when an officer tried to stop the operation, he was railroaded by military investigators.

The national Xmas tree was blown over in a recent storm. And you know what that means: it's the End Times!


"Rep. Bobby Franklin of Georgia has submitted a bill requiring the state to investigate every miscarriage that happens in that state to make sure it's not a clandestine abortion."

Tolerance zero

In the wake of various acts of violence in recent years, school administrators no longer hesitate before turning a child over the criminal justice system for the most petty of offenses.

Just for the record I would like to state that I am guilty. When I was in the third and fourth grade, my best friend and I used to draw all sorts of violent, sexist, disturbing stick figure drawings and the teachers never even blinked (click to enlarge).

I still have two three notebooks full of drawings. Yep, I kept them. And my old best friend is now a cop. Here's one of his drawings of a series of torture rooms:

The evidence is right here. Come and arrest me you chicken-shit motherfuckers.

I won't mention all the stuff we set on fire and blew up.

In related news, I just finished reading Columbine by Dave Cullen. It's an excellent retelling of exactly what happened with plenty of cogent psychological analysis. Forget all the myths you've heard, this is the real deal. Except in the minds of the negative reviewers.

Some fag-hating dunce of a "Christian" got a tattoo of Leviticus 18:22 (the anti-gay part) thus violating Leviticus 19:28—includes picture

“When we do programs to support the family, we are not thinking about homosexuality, but for homosexuals, any endorsement of the family as God ordained it is an attack on them.

The Gay Manifesto

...commenters at other blogs suggested that Satan was getting back at Euteneuer for his exorcism work. "Being exposed to demons is not an easy thing," one person wrote. "Sometimes the demons will purposely twist the bodies of their victims that will have their sexual parts touch the one who is trying to remove the demons. This, I am sure must have happened several times to Father Tom." Others pinned the blame directly on the women who accused Euteneuer.
