Enjoy! Let’s start with the depressing: Afghanistan General Stanley McCrystal sees no indication of an al-Qaeda presence in Afghanistan. So, could we maybe, GTFO or is killing brown people too much fun? Sheldon Richman of the Foundation for Economic Education discusses some of the problems with raising tariffs on cheap Chinese tires. I liked this [...]
ohemgee, I am so feeling this. I may not be able to afford a Bitch subscription anymore, but I am so happy that they’re putting more things up online. This way, I’m no longer missing feminist pop cultural discourse! —- If you’re reading this from my Facebook notes, please go to the original blog post [...]

Livejournal turned 10, meaning that the internet itself is, indeed, old meme. Here [...]
Enjoy these news bits: A Chinese man keeps his severed leg in formaldehyde for 20 years. Why? To warn people about the dangers of drinking and driving. Speaking of boozing, apparently, Obama is an alcoholic. It’s not because of the binge drinking, it’s because the 48 year old occasionally drinks a beer. Apparently, privileged women [...]
