How Often Is Sex Not ‘Rape by Deception’? →
siddman:
A Palestinian man was sentenced to eighteen months in prison in Israel this week for leading a Jewish woman to believe he was Jewish in order to sleep with her. His crime? “Rape by deception.” As a judge explained, “If she hadn’t thought the accused was a Jewish bachelor interested in a serious romantic relationship, she never would have cooperated.” So watch out, guys who try to get...

I may have found an apartment
I’m not going to jump around and pick furniture because last time I did that life bit me in the ass hard, but it looks like I might be moving to an apartment downtown-ish with my buddy. It adds a bit of a “commute” but it saves from rez life (seriously, we’ll save like $200 a month, food included) and, well, we get along so it also means avoiding dealing with idiots who put...

“I think the prime counterargument to socialism should be “It is dumb and doesn’t...”
– The Name of This Blog is Slartibartpants.: “Unconstitutional”
Could you explain exactly why “socialism” (as it pertains to the healthcare reform discussion) is dumb and doesn’t work? It’s not enough to just say it’s socialist now. The cold war ended—and insinuating that your opponents have...
"Unconstitutional"

squashed:
A lot of people at yesterdays regrettable townhall meeting were yelling that this or that detail of the proposed healthcare plan was “unconstitutional.” They had read their pocket constitutions and decided that this made them an expert on constitutional law. Apparently the U.S. Constitution prohibits everything they don’t like—and only the things they don’t...
More Racist Whitey Cops Caught Being Racist.

“Everyone just relax! When was the last time you heard of a black guy keeping a job for four years?”
— Text in an e-mail four pigs in Grand Prairie, Texas were allegedly caught distributing. And Mayor Charles England’s response? This is” certainly not the kind of publicity I like to get.” Yes, that’s exactly what the problem is here.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t...
Final score: 68-31

What the hell is wrong with Republicans?
They don’t want a another racist justice in the supreme court? :)

Nobody really cared in the first place. It was just cool to whine about it.
How to get rid of a bat
I was at the girlfriend’s place earlier and, as we had just finished a movie, her housemate squealed that there was a bat in the house. I suggested using a crucifix and some holy water, or maybe garlic, but for some reason they wouldn’t go for it. Maybe my girlfriend’s housemate is a demon? Anyways, never having dealt with bats before, undead or otherwise, I was a bit stumped,...

Sarah Palin, meet Mahmoud Ahmadinejad →

notthatkindagay:
Is Sarah Palin America’s Mahmoud Ahmadinejad? The two differ in many key respects, of course, but it is remarkable how similar they are. There are uncanny parallels in their biographies, their domestic politics and the way they present themselves — even in their rocky relationships with party elders.
Both are former governors of a northwest frontier state with...
Things about trying to go to sleep in the country:
smashley:
My grandma lives legit in the country. In a town of like 300 people* in the Laurentians in Quebec. It is beautiful, there are mountains everywhere, the houses are adorable, everything is quaint, and it is, more than anywhere else, my home (in that she has lived here since I was born and it’s the one constant). Also people are super nice here and I forget how many of them are...
