This article kinda' sums up the current state of affairs here in America. Welcome to Amerika. I used to keep a list titled "America: The Frog in Boiling Water" that listed all the dangerous, seemingly unnoticed cultural shifts taking place. This would definitely go on it.
In an anti-CPS case the ACLU did take, a Pennsylvania woman is trying to stop authorities from taking her unborn child because the baby's father was convicted of sex crimes 22 years ago. The mother, 31-year-old Melissa WolfHawk, has already lost a 21-month-old child to the state after they doubted her husband's parental fitness. On
and Oshii's anime version of it, you will probably be really interested in this anime series. While I thought with a different ending it would have made a good live-action Demi Moore vehicle , I didn't care for it and haven't bothered with any of the further incarnations. But then, I don't car
I'm not going to jump on you, John. I will point out, though, that using other user's names/handles in the title of articles is a no-no here -- especially when said person owns the site. It would probably be in your interest to edit that. If the neo-republican party had their way the US would be a Christian state wi
Earlier this week I made a note to write an article about this rights thing, the gist of it being... There's a difference between choosing not to exercise a right and throwing that right away. It's also not a violation of said right to ask if you'll not exercise it in a particular instance. Even "demanding" isn't a violation. Till they actually search and seize without a warrant, rights haven't been violated. That's
I dunno why....I mean, he's married too, he oughtta know how it is...! Obviously K's husband is pussy-whipped and imagines everyone else is in his boat. The poor dear. <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=center bgColor=#F
When a substitute teacher in Lake County, Florida heard beeping coming from a student, he acted before he thought. He asked the student what the beeping was, but before the 9th grader could answer, the teacher grabbed the offending item and ripped it from the boy. It seems he thought it was a cell phone. Instead, it turns out the boy is a Type I diab
wow, that was quite a headline. It grabbed my attention right away. Good. Overall I consider my titles to be fairly weak. I guess now we know the real reason Voldemort is after Harry. What will the next book be called? Harry Potter and the Chocolate Highway ?
Harry Potter is gay. Or so former vicar and current J.K. Rowling rival Graham Taylor announced to a packed auditorium of 12-year-olds at a school in England, just before being asked to leave the premises by administrators. "As for Harry Potter," said Reverend Taylor, "well, he's not the only gay in the village." Reverend Taylor, who is becom
She mentioned it once when she was a kid on Dawson’s Creek, I think she's said it more recently. Google: "Katie Holmes" virginity. BTW... um... I'm a virgin waiting for Ms. Right... so if Nicole Kidman happens to be reading this... <img src="../images/smiles/joke.gif" border=0 ALIGN="absm
She's still a virgin. But there's one very happy turkey baster in Cruise-land. (It was hand delivered from his publicist to her publicist.)
Who the hell is Mo Rocca? A personable, but fairly milquetoast humorist. Why is he on my television, and... Why do I care what he thinks about anything?</TD
Reminds me of a quote by charles de gaulle about cemetaries being full of capable men. A good article. Insightful... Thank you. <T
You thought Gwyneth Paltrow naming her daughter Apple was bad? Here's one more for the celebrity bad baby name files. Nicolas Cage and his wife of 14 months, Alice Kim Cage, just birthed their first child. And what did they name him? Kal-el Coppola Cage. For those not hip to comics, Kal-el is the birth name of Clark Kent, a.k.a. <a href="h
JoeUser is a lot like life. You go away for a few days and return to find that articles have still been posted, controversies have erupted, new people have joined, and older members have dropped out. And if anybody noticed you were gone it was probably in passing -- maybe someone even asked -- then people went about their daily JoeUser lives. In the stream
The news is a record of what so-and-so said happened. Info is taken down and attributed to the sources supplying the info. The vast majority of news is just "according to so-and-so this happened." So to answer your question, Ashley Smith and the police department gave us the story. Ashley Smith lied to the police for months to protect her own skin. Ashley Smith lied in interview after interview. Ashley Smith perpetuated a public l
I think Gene was referring to Tex's comment that Al Sharpton's Casa di Sushi was an SNL bit Yep. Sorry about that.
The story we were given was of an almost saintly mother and God fearing woman, soothing a savage beast who had captured her by reading him Biblical books, talking about God working in her life, and making him pancakes. Instead we have a meth addict, talking about the consequences of her low life to another low life and, oh yeah, giving him drugs, if not partaking herself. She's getting too much positive attention and too much cash for a sto
It's a Saturday Night Live sketch, MM.
Martha Stewart's version of The Apprentice premiered last Wednesday to extremely disappointing ratings. Having two Apprentice s on at once is stupid and suicidal. It can only harm the franchise. Since Trump had said he would only do two more iterations (meaning one beyond the current), they should have interleaved the versions, extending Trump'
he was standing on a box with his arms outspread as though he were on a cross and the media has a cropped picture of this. That's the AP picture. But a guy from Getty Images was behind this scene, and he took a picture of this protester in the black hood and the black robe from behind. And his full picture shows
Goodness, you've discovered the photo-op/press conference. This is not the MS or any other M creating the news, because they didn't call all those people there and arrange the whole thing. They are just covering the nonsense created by others. (I like the footstool, so the picture gets framed right. Cute.) <TD class="mb
Where does that article anywhere say, "Rita Good, Katrina Bad"? It's just a bunch of statistics with a patina of analysis brushed on to make "a real article." That was almost a side bar That's the article. The opening tells you what's coming, and here's the opening: <TABLE ce
Remember back in March, when accused rapist Brian Nichols killed four people, escaped, and took a woman hostage who eventually talked him down with pancakes, sharing God, and readings from "The Purpose-Driven Life"? It turns out there was more to the story. Isn't there always? For one thing, the much ballyhooed "Purpose-Driven" intervention amounted
Well, I read the article, and I disagree with your interpretation All I see is a bunch of facts, and a partial attempt to explain why one evacuation went better than the other.
