The federal government is preventing Creekstone Farms Premium Beef, a Kansas based meatpacking company, from testing all its cows for Mad Cow Disease. Currently, the USDA tests less than 1% of cows for the disease, which is enough for me because I don’t really worry about Mad Cow Disease, but why should they prevent a [...]

Sorry, I’ve been lazy since the weekend, but I did warn you this might happen. Anyway, in honor of Memorial Day, I thought I’d link to this important Andrew Bacevich article that ran in the Washington Post on Sunday. Bacevich is a retired Army colonel who now teaches at Boston University and has written numerous [...]
From this point on, people should only send these e-cards. Your move, Disney. (Hat tip to my friend Anthony Gregory at LRC.) I’ve had dreams that are eerily similar to this short David Lynch made for Cannes. I’m not sure if that fact gives a worse (better?) impression of Lynch or me. This is a [...]
Late last month, Josh Hancock, a relief pitcher on my beloved Cardinals, was killed after he ran his Explorer into the back of a tow truck on Interstate 64 in Saint Louis. Now, his father is suing pretty much anyone he can think of: The suit, filed in St. Louis Circuit Court by Dean Hancock [...]
At Times I'm Even Tempted to Seek the Advice of Dr. Laura, But I Ignore Her
Posted: May 23, 2007 in UncategorizedIt looks like conservative radio show host, family values scold extraordinaire, and all around bitch Dr. Laura Schlessinger may not be the best person to ask for parenting advice. From the Salt Lake Tribune: The soldier son of talk radio relationship counselor Laura Schlessinger is under investigation for a graphic personal Web page that one [...]
I am now also blogging at the Students for Ron Paul (SFRP) site to support the only person who has a chance–small as it may be–to stop this country from sliding into a yawning abyss. OK, so that’s an exaggeration, but, in all seriousness, a Ron Paul presidency is the best thing this country can [...]
If this recent Newsweek poll is to be trusted, fully 40% of America’s self-described atheists and agnostics aren’t actually atheists or agnostics. When asked what statement most closely described their beliefs on the origin of our species, 27% of atheists and agnostics said that “Humans developed over millions of years from less advanced forms of [...]
I went to a small town carnival last night and had a really good time. I wasted some money trying to win a stupid tapestry. I saw someone win a karaoke competition for brutalizing “My Heart Will Go On.” I rode the immensely fun Zipper, which I hadn’t done in a dog’s age. However, I [...]
This will make you think twice before steppin’ where a boy’s breakin’. It’s extra awesome because the dude still lands the move. R Kelly: All things to all people. Your next vacation. Finally, watch the acid tongued Christopher Hitchens go right for the jugular of Jerry Falwell’s legacy. He may be a dick for seeing [...]
Old Republican presidential litmus test: do you oppose destroying fetuses? New Republican presidential litmus test: do you support destroying Muslims? Is the above a caricature of the current state of the Republican Party? Yes, but not by much. For proof, see the attempt by Saul Anuzis’, head of the Michigan GOP, to ban Ron Paul [...]
