Like a Jeff Foxworthy Joke

“You might be a redneck if …” Richmond Co. Sheriff’s Office investigators say 36 year old William Bonner of Thomson was highly intoxicated late Friday night, and had a friend pour a shot of high-proof alcohol, Bacardi 151, over his head, then another friend set him ablaze. . . . “He actually bet the people […]

Do Not Let Spam Emails Name Your Children, Please

by Smitty While not wanting to go negative on anybody’s specific choices for naming their children, on wonders: who drops the name of a country onto an unsuspecting infant’s birth certificate? Do you really want to have that conversation where you explain to little Ulysses what chemical state prompted “Lithuania” to appear in the middle […]

Inspired By The @DanRiehl Coming Out Post

by Smitty Dan Riehl, quite bravely announced his heterosexuality to the world. Perhaps he was motivated by Anderson Cooper. I would just like the world to know that I, too, am every bit the heterosexual monogamist one would expect by default. What can I say? I’m to lazy to tomcat about. Also, form follows function. There is […]

Non-Standard Families A Sign Of Progress: Blaspheme Not Holy Progress!

Because mom and dad are such freaking idiots they think their kids will catch the dread gay disease from reading a comic book? I’m gobsmacked. This is the same Lefty media that brought you, in […]

by Smitty An item in the blogs yesterday talked about snooty eating. After viewing a few organic foods, comfort foods, or control foods, participants who were exposed to organic foods volunteered significantly less time to help a needy stranger, and they judged moral transgressions significantly harsher than those who viewed nonorganic foods. These results suggest […]

When Do We Say ‘Up The Left!’?

by Smitty Insty points to Treacher going on about the latest shenanigans at Wikipedia. It seems that it’s OK to have a page about Seamus the Dog, of Romney family fame, but no one need be bothered with talk of Obama’s dog consumption. Even though the dog munching is in one of Obama’s biographies, the […]

‘Pleasure Activist’

by Smitty Language used in the service of making the foul, twisted and unspeakable seem somehow good, upright and acceptable sets me right off. Liberty is a beautiful thing, but how can we continue in the face of confusion? That a whore is being elevated to a position of honor as a speaker at the […]
