Off to a good start

I got my grades back for my first week of physical geography. Homework: 95, 100, 100, 100 Test: 100 I’m so proud of myself!

How looooow can they go?

It’s like a game of Limbo. Apparently blatant lies are within range for the Snohomish County, Washington Republican Party, who were selling the above fake bills for $3 from their booth at the Evergreen State Fair. Now they’re trying to pass if off with a ha ha. Not only is Obama wearing an Arab headdress [...]

WTG Hallmark!

It seems the American Family Association has their panties in a bunch because Hallmark has begun selling same-sex marriage wedding cards. In fact, they’re so upset about it they’ve set up a page for fellow snit-meisters email the company directly to express their outrage. I’ve got a better idea. Let’s all use their server, and [...]

I’d rather have a root–oh wait.

Yahoo News says that Joe Biden took the VP call from Obama on his cell phone. In the middle of a root canal. But was it before or after the laughing gas? UPDATE: Yahoo has issued a correction.

Odds and ends

None of these things warrant a full post, so here’s a quick rundown on what’s going on. The air is gray with smoke. Two major wildfires are burning on the edge of the county, and are still a long way from being contained. This is Tony’s last day at home. Tomorrow morning it’s off to [...]

Welcome to 1998

The University of Idaho takes online payments. But it wants an additional $44.87 to receive the money faster and with no chance of a check bouncing. Uh … no. I’ll mail it in. Buena Vista University will take my money online, but they only accept credit cards, not bank transfers. Pacific Lutheran University doesn’t take [...]

Better than Rickrolling

This is absolutely amazing. If you do nothing else today, watch this!

“You should try … “

Know someone with a chronic illness or disability? Here’s what not to do. From amandaw @ Feministe: Often, when someone learns that another person lives with some sort of medical condition, slight or severe, their first reaction is to suggest to that person some way they could make their condition better. On behalf of all [...]
