Which will undoubtedly be illegal in Tennessee by Friday.

What wmd1961 said. I won one of the first gen iPads a couple of years back in a drawing at work. I truly hate reading printed books at this point, at least as far as fiction goes. Reference books and non-fiction I still prefer to have sitting on a desk at hand, but that’s changing.

Warning: Slow Jam Children Ahead

Sorry. I felt this driving compulsion to fix this post title for you.

And it looks like the Virgin Ben needs to keep up his strategic shaving of the unibrow a little better, if you know what I mean.

Douchehat and Lord Saletan of the Woman’s Icky Parts getting together? I was actually thinking the universe would collapse in on itself if you created such a vast black home of charisma and intellect in one space.

The Virgin Ben and Bela Lugosi…separated at birth.

Oh noes! Liberation theology. Hidez the childrenz, Marge!

Seriously, though TBogg, I’d rather watch the Murkin’s gravity challenged cheer than this spittle-flecked, snarling, non-expose expose.

Reminds me of a great internet insight: Yankees, Cowboys, Lakers.

If you’re a fan of two of these three teams, there is a good chance you’re a dick.

I fixed this for you. No charge.

:: shaking head :: It’s bad enough when people die for their own stupid choices in life, but I HATE it when those stupid choices take others with them/leave their children behind in bewildered pain.

Um, no. Not really. This isn’t a murder/suicide, Julia. All Mrs. Duggar needs to do is say no. Nobody is making her conceive another child. Short of rape, this is her choice as well as his.

Now for the children, on the other hand, you’ve got a point…but I’m afraid their lives were ruined the moment they were born into the family of this bunch of born-again hyperbreeding, money-grubbing bottom feeders. Mom kicking it because she doesn’t know when to say when would just be the dollop of whipped cream on the ice-cream and shit sundae for those poor kids.

My mom was the oldest of 8 in dust bowl Oklahoma. She resented her parents for the rest of her life for the amount of responsibility she was saddled with as a teenager in terms of acting as surrogate parent for her younger siblings. And they had the excuse of being in the days before legal birth control, and in depression Oklahoma. Trust me. By the time this is done, at least some of those 20 will tell ma and pa to fuck off and die.

Geez. It’s like every one of her posts is a cry for an intervention.

What kind of dead-inside moron would have ever found this monstrosity of a woman sexually attractive enough to marry?

Oh my gawd, Newt’s married a Real Doll (TM).

Alright, everybody. Form a circle around the target. Circular firing squad. Ready. Aim. Fire!

What an incredibly awful idea. Let’s run somebody whose never actually run for office before against the sitting incumbent from our own party. And after that, we’ll take this plugged in toaster into the bathtub with us. What could it hurt?

Actually, I’d argue that Frank Miller didn’t change that much from day one. His comic book work always portrayed a dark, cynical world with heavy fascist undertones, going back at least as far as The Dark Knight Returns.

The only thing that’s really changed is back in the 1980′s, we weren’t sure whether Miller was opposed to or supported this sort of a worldview. Since then, he’s made it abundantly clear that his early work wasn’t a cautionary tale, but a bizarre power fantasy.

Thanks, Captain Obvious. Yeah, I know a vet is still a doctor. :)

And a urologist would make the most sense, but as freely as Viagra/Cialis et al. are prescribed, the likely user may not even have an internist.

In any case, thanks for killing any (limited) humor value my post might have had. Yeesh.

Please consult a doctor veterinarian if erection lasts more than four hours.

The new graphic is, um, mesmerizing.

Oh, come on now. Lay off of Juicebox Jesus there, Tbogg. After all, I’d like to see you try to throw a completion when your stigmata are acting up.

When the planet is blown into a smoking crater, with no life, atmosphere, or hope…you’ve won…er, sort of.

Let me try that again…

Interesting note in the Philly sports page last week. Ed Snider, owner of the Sixers and huge Ayn Rand fan, was one of the financial backers of Atlas Shrugged. Jeff Lurie, owner of the Eagles and a liberal, was executive producer of Inside Job.

Let’s see now: Sixers haven’t won a division title in a decade, and have won one, countem’ one, playoff series.

As a Flyers fan, it’s worth noting he is also the owner of the Philadelphia Flyers, who actually went to the Stanley Cup Finals as recently as last year, and are in a second round playoff series vs. the Boston Bruins.

Unfortunately, as many wingnuts succeed at business as good people. It isn’t all about politics.

If you want to go further afield with Fantasy (a genre I have less familiarity with), I’ve enjoyed these:

Glen Cook’s The Black Company series.
George R R Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire (the first novel is about to get the HBO treatment in April).
