pop sicko
So last night, we were going out to dinner, and I asked my two-and-a-half year old daughter if she wanted barbecue. She got really, really excited and responded with an enthusiastic "yes". This was odd to me, as I was unaware that she was familiar with the concept of barbecue. So, we get in line at Phil's BBQ, a very popular bbq joint, and she proceeds to completely melt down, screaming that she wanted barbecue. We tried to explain to her that we needed to wait in line to order, and that we would have barbecue very soon. This did not help. But over the course of her epic meltdown, the word "barbecue" began to evolve, and by the time we sat down it had become "popsicle". All this time she thought we were going to get a frigging popsicle. Obviously there was a 7-11 popsicle run afterwards, where mommy and daddy may or may not have splurged on some Haagen Daaz to soothe their frazzled nerves.

U.S. to Factor Gay Rights in Foreign Aid
The Obama administration has decided to take a new factor into consideration when weighing whether or not to provide a country with aid: how the government treats its gay and lesbian citizens. The change should be announced with a presidential memo followed by a speech by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton from Geneva later today. The move will be the first by the U.S. government that attempts to combat human rights abuses against homosexuals.

"Young, healthy people are not a separate population from the old and unhealthy. They are the very same people, only at a different stage of life."

Psychotherapist Is Unable to Understand What Medical Insurance Is
emphasis on loud
"It is, in other words, possible to construct an intricate scenario that is both cautiously inferential, richly detailed, on its own terms complete, and yet utterly delusional. The J.F.K. conspiracy theorists are the first and hardiest of those movements—the truthers and birthers and moon walkers being their stepchildren—in which the old American paranoid style, once largely marginal and murmuring, married pseudoscience and became articulate, academic, systematized, and loud."

Politifact Is Bad for You [Rants]
 | Politifact Is Bad for You [Rants] The lefty blogosphere is all hot and bothered at famous fact-checking website Politifact for naming Democrats' claim that the Paul Ryan "Path to Prosperity" would "end Medicare" its 2011 Lie of the Year. And yes, there's a solid argument to be made that Politifact is completely wrong. The bigger problem here, though, is why does anyone care what this gimmicky website has to say, ever? Politifact took flak for this same judgment earlier in the yea... |
