Clothes for Clods

Posted on May 10, 2013 by

Run Romney Run

Posted on August 31, 2012 by

I Should Be Allowed to Shoot My Mouth Off

Posted on August 12, 2012 by

In response to the Chick-fil-A issue, SamuraiFrog pointed out that they were hardly the only corporation giving money to anti-gay or otherwise hateful causes. I think what really gets people about Chick-fil-A, or at least what really got ME about … Continue reading →

Young Frankenfood

Posted on June 30, 2012 by

I don’t know a whole lot about genetically modified food, but I can’t say as I’m opposed to the idea in general. Sure, people say that eating it could turn you into a slug, but that’s ridiculous. The formula to … Continue reading →

We All Hate Poverty, War, and Injustice, Unlike the Rest of You Squares

Posted on June 12, 2012 by

The latest episode of Real Time (which, by the way, had John Waters on the panel) ended with Bill Maher talking about Occupy Wall Street, which I kind of didn’t know was still a thing. Then again, I also forget … Continue reading →
