Politics
Outliers
Okay, let’s all take a deep breath, exhale real slow, and realize that perhaps now is not the best time to rationally discuss such issues as gun control, violence in the media, and the influence of video games on teenagers. The nation is still in shock over the atrocity of the Virginia Tech shootings. Sadly, […]
The Organization of Islamic Progress Is Scared Of Words
“But if thought corrupts language, language can also corrupt thought.” –George Orwell “Politics and the English Language,” 1946. If you read the link I assigned for homework you no doubt saw that on March 30th, the Organization of Islamic Progress pushed for, and passed, a resolution through the United Nation’s Human Rights Commission, which urges […]
Bill Donahue, Chocolate Jesus, and Eddie Izzard
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, I’m sure that by this point you’ve heard about “Chocolate Jesus.” And yes, “Chocolate Jesus” is different than “Muddy Jesus.” This is “Muddy Jesus”: And this is “Chocolate Jesus.” Artist Cosmo Cavallaro sculpted a crucified Jesus Christ out of 200 pounds of delicious milk chocolate, and the Lab […]
Buy John Kerry’s iPod
From the Information Policy Action Committee’s ebay description page: Well, the one he was supposed to get, anyway.

Get ready for another “I hate the media” post. First, let’s start off by taking a little looky-loo at this video: Powerful stuff, huh? If you haven’t seen that before, then I’ll explain. That commercial aired in 1984, during the Superbowl, and it introduced the world to the brand new Macintosh computer. Yep, that was […]
McCain’s a Dumbass
For the most part, I’m a fairly tolerant guy. It doesn’t bother me if you believe something kooky, or downright stupid, just as long as you do so with conviction and your belief doesn’t infringe on any of my rights. You believe that you saw Jesus’ head in the mildew around your bathtub? Fine. You […]
Lightning Rod
I have very little patience for folks that are quick to panic, so you imagine how much I hate watching any kind of news show. They’re all about sensationalism and scaring the crap out of viewers. Makes me sick. Anyway, I thought my readers might like a little perspective on some mortality odds. For instance, […]

The article describes Tencent as an amalgamation between YouTube and Google, and its instant messaging program, “QQ” is used by over 100 million users, which is roughly 80 percent of the Chinese […]
