This was just a complete mindfuck. Always wondered what Stephen Hawking and the uber-nerds were talking about when they went on about the 10th dimension, never thought I’d ever have it explained to me in a way I could actually comprehend. But here it is — “Imagining The 10th Dimension ” is a beautifully executed…

It was great to see AP vindicated in their recent epic battle against teh stupid, aka Michelle Malkin and her army of brain donors. All the same, AP still largely sucks at reporting without bias. Though, IMHO, their bias is largely towards pro-admin coverage of events and an apparent unwillingness to call things by their…

Dear Michael Crichton, You continue to inspire. Not only did you help convince Dear Leader that global warming is nothing more than a treehugger hoax, but now your vindictive ways have set a new, glorious standard for the fine and unappreciated art of petty revenge. Writing up a critic as a child rapist in your…

Oy vey. So, if we’re to believe the wingnuts it boils down to this: would you rather have a long, happy life with a small dick, or be well-endowed until your clogged arteries take you out in your mid forties? Ignoring for a moment the whole debacle of “bigger is better”, this new round of…

Lilly Del Pinto, Illinois mother of a 5-year-old girl said she was halfway through reading “And Tango Makes Three” to her daughter “when the zookeeper said the two penguins must be in love.” “That’s when I ended the story,” she said. Ah, yes, teh gay has been spooking people in the Bible Belt again. And…

We rightly criticize that in most Islamic states, the role of religion for society and the character of the rule of law are not clearly separated […] but we fail to recognize that in the USA, the Christian fundamentalists and their interpretation of the Bible have similar tendencies. Former German chancellor Gerhard Schroeder in his…

An analytic social psychologist (different, I guess, from an intuitive social psychologist, who just makes shit up?) at Leicester University in the UK has developed the first “World Map of Happiness.” According to the study, Denmark is the happiest nation in the world. Fancy that — and I left almost 10 years ago, to go…

Mark Morford, best damn columnist around, has a piece in the SF Chronicle today about the demise of organic food. Demise, as in: so spectacularly successful it’s failing. It’s simple, really: any trend that WalMart decides to run with is a trend that is about to turn very toxic very fast. But the problem is…

“We live in a global world.” Thank you, President George W. Bush, for those words of wisdom. It’s so nice to have a Preznit who can edumacate us on the complexities of modern life. When he’s not busy telling fart jokes to his staff, of course. The profound insight was shared during a talk Thursday…
