I was shocked and pleased to read that Bill Gates is dontating $440 million dollars for public health projects in the developing world. Somebody with that much money better be giving it away. I wish other celebrities and rediculiously rich people would realize that they should dontate money to those in need as [...]

I just saw the trailer for the new Dukes of Hazzard movie. When I first heard they were going to film a movie based on the 1980s tv show, all I could think was, “Will the General Lee have a big confederate flag on the top?”
And the answer is… Yes.

From Lashan Browning of RedMoxie.com:
Oprah Winfrey wants to hit Hermès where it hurts - in its fine leather wallet.

It’s the Pentagon, and they’re spying on you too if you’re a student between 16 and 18 or a college student.

This is just shocking and wrong.
“A divided Supreme Court ruled Thursday that local governments may seize people’s homes and businesses against their will for private development… The 5-4 ruling represented a defeat for some Connecticut residents whose homes are slated for destruction to make room for an office complex. They argued that cities have no [...]

If you’re like me, you’re terrified of being destitute in old age. I don’t know what cat food tastes like, and frankly, I don’t wanna know. Everywhere I look, I see articles stressing that I should start saving for my retirement right this exact minute, because SS won’t be enough to pay [...]

The Bush administration has been trying to argue that global warming is not happening. I had always suspected that it was because they were catering to oil companies, but now here’s the proof. This is from the Washington Post:
Last week, the New York Times reported that a senior White House official had altered government documents [...]

Cheerleading is a competitive “sport”. We’ve all seen Bring it On (I watched it for the girls, I swear!). How do cheerleaders in Texas bring it? On a pizza topped with human feces. They tried to frame the rival school for it. It’s funny but pretty damn vomit inducing. The punishment for the [...]

It’s said that lascivious French chanteur Serge Gainsbourg used to defend his wild lifestyle by saying that “Smoking preserves meat, and alcohol preserves fruit.” Serge Gainsbourg died of a heart attack at age 65, so you make the call on that one.
Shocking news from the BBC: apparently, smoking and overeating are bad.
BBC NEWS: [...]

I don’t have a problem with the Corporation for Public Broadcasting wanting to make PBS’ content reflect more of a “conservative” point of view because we all know that the liberal/conservative bias the media wear depends on who’s dressing them and allows us to avoid dicussions about media ownership, but I do have a problem [...]

“F*** the police!” has been my mantra ever since I was a young’n stealing packs of Big League Chew from the local AM/PM. But I have to say “Thank the fuzz!” for arresting suspected terrorists in Lodi, CA. I’m from Stockton, just south of Lodi (I never thought I’d use Lodi as [...]
