Making fun of the willfully stupid: Adam Yoshida has reinstated comments on his blog (And no, I'm not going to link it; I refuse to give the little weasel the satisfaction.) so feel free to drop by and inquire as to the status of his application to the Canadian Armed Forces. Or just taunt him at leisure, whichever feels right.
If it bleeds, we can kill it - chapter 2: Gallup polling reveals that George W. Bush is, shall we say, in the shit. Against both Kerry and Edwards. I urge my fellow leftists not to get cocky, but continue to sharpen your knives. November is gonna be fun, fun, fun!
Why we need to bleed and kill it: White House mynah bird Scott McClellan is "concerned" about Iran. Where have I heard this line before? And gee, look at all the troops we have just sitting nearby, too. Remember kids: Bush's War 2: We'll Take Tehran! is gearing up for a 2005/6 run, unless you remove that moron from office.
Welcome to the 21st Century - chapter 1: You know, of all the dystopian and ugly scenarios involving the eventual collapse of the Antarctic treaty and the subsequent resource raiding, everybody always figured it would be oil or mineral wealth that triggered the rush. I never in a million years would have expected the raids to begin with extremophile bacteria.

Welcome to the 21st Century - chapter 2: The Fat Tuesday season is almost upon us again, and the true spirtual heart is, of course, the Carnival in Rio de Janerio. The Carnival parade theme for this year is.... Science. I shit thee not. The picture is a parade costume representing cloning. Again, I shit thee not.
It's not just a good idea, it's a damn good idea: Send flowers to a random couple in the marriage line in San Francisco.
Welcome to the 21st Century (by way of the 10th Century): James Hughes over on Cyborg Democracy talks about the similarities between singularitan transhumanists and Christian millenarian dispensationalists. Logical, as both are avid believers in a raputre that will whisk them away to Paradise while letting the nonbelievers burn in torment, and both will be awfully disappointed if/when the rapture does happen and they aren't among the chosen.
One last laugh before we shoot you: Russian gonzo magazine eXile notes that if they were doing the censoring, things would be a lot different. They also happen to note that the greatest and purest collection of lies in Western culture is Forrest Gump. They can only get away with saying stuff like that because a) they're Russian and b) it happens to be completely true.

In other Mardi Gras news, the New Orleans celebration will also celebrate science, American style - Bush Science.
Festive floats will feature scenarios ridiculing global warming, depletion of fossil fuels, and evolution. A special group of floats will depict the torments in hell awaiting women who get abortions and researchers in the field of stem cells and therapeutic cloning.
Those appearing on the streets in a drunk and disorderly condition will be detained under provisions of the Patriot Act, and any female baring her boobs will be shot on sight.

So, we should expect a massive population crash in Nawlins this spring, then?
