Ask Dr. Liberal: PETA and Its Shadow
Dr. Liberal –
PETA wants organizers of Pennsylvania’s Groundhog Day festival to replace Punxsutawney Phil with a robotic stand-in. WTF? Why is PETA determined to turn itself into the Westboro Baptist Church of the Anti-Animal cruelty movement? Don’t they realize that this kind of shit makes people want to beat their groundhogs?
Signed,

Calorie Counts On Menus – Good Idea or Nanny State?
An article in this weekend’s News Journal highlighted Senator Dave Sokola’s bill to require chain restaurants to place the calorie counts on the menus. As a dieter I would be thrilled if restaurants would include calorie counts, it’s very difficult to eat out because most of the time you don’t really know what you’re getting. […]
Late Night Video — Axe Ball Cleaner
First thing to know is that this is totally NSFW. Second thing to know is that this it totally NSFW. Third thing to know is that this is screamingly funny, which means you probably should not be watching this at work!
What Is KBR Hiding?
We are all familiar with the case of Jamie Leigh Jones, the KBR contract worker who was brutally raped on her first day in Iraq. She was then held hostage in a shipping container until she was able to get a cell phone to call her father. She was denied a day in court against […]

Generic News Report by Charlie Brooker
Completely Brilliant dissection of the TV News conventions — and I thought I was watching CNN there for abit:

The bizarre shoe thief case in Newark has been solved and a man arrested. Police think his thefts may go back 20 years. Newark police say Walter J. Rubincan, 46, is responsible […]
Cutting And Running – FOX Style
If you want to know exactly how damaging yesterday’s Q&A between Obama and House Republicans really was, look no further than FOX who yanked the coverage when it became apparent what was happening wouldn’t jive with its propaganda. In the end, by pulling coverage of a historic event, FOX added a million exclamation marks to […]
Can Republicans Work With Obama After Everything They’ve Said?
Out of everything said yesterday this one passage stood out to me: So all I’m saying is we’ve got to close the gap a little bit between the rhetoric and the reality. I’m not suggesting that we’re going to agree on everything, whether it’s on health care or energy or what have you, but if […]
You Can Count On Sarah…
…to show up to cash in on her payday, that is. The high profile Tea Party convention in Nashville is falling apart, with sponsors pulling out as well as crazy Congresswomen Michele Bachmann (R-MN) and Marsha Blackburn (R-TN). Sarah Palin still plans on attending. It’s been reported that she’s being paid between $100,000 – $150,000 […]
Friday Afternoon Bacon Blogging — You’re Doing It All Wrong Edition
Cooking your bacon, that is, according to this video from Chowhound (there is a quick commercial at the beginning): But there’s lots of ways to cook bacon and lots of partisans for those methods too. I’ve cooked LOTS of bacon for events in the oven — you get uniformly flat and crispy bacon (think of […]
