  • Savior: The Adult Desire to Save Teenagers From Themselves

    Am I the only one who notices that adults seem to obsessed about teenage lives?

Our culture takes a very negative view of people between the ages of 13-18. If you work…

  • What Happens When BP Spills Coffee

    Sadly, this about sums up the response so far. Pretty happy about being a BP shareholder right now, lemme tell you. Great investment!

  • The Disadvantaged White Protestant Straight Males

    (Yes, the title of  this post is sensationalistic. But it got you to read it, right?)

Times, Bill reminds readers why we need to stop the conspiracy theory that Barack Obama was not born in the United States. Obviously, Bill’s who schtick is to hate all things conservative republican and conservative…

  • Throwing Down the Chicken Gauntlet

    First KFC did this: Then Oprah talked about it and it went like this: Then, a bunch of folks did this. Bam! Part 2 Then, a chicken chain here in SoCal responded with this. Ole`! Where will it end? I can’t be too certain. But I have a feeling that Colonel Sanders and the crazy…
