NASCAR driver Kyle Busch was ticked going 128 mph in a 45 mph zone and claimed to be very sorry. He was testing out a new sports car and needed to know if it could jump a river while being chased by Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane. The bigger crime was that he thought buying a yellow Lexus was a good idea. SFGate

Apparently, in the Open Thread for the morning, I didn’t give our friends in the animal kingdom enough recognition. Consider the above photo my attempt to rectify this. Continue reading
Today’s outrage is courtesy of Kansas State Rep Pete DeGraf who has equated becoming pregnant from rape with having a flat tire. How so? Well, apparently women should ‘prepare’ for this eventuality by having a ‘rape-abortion’ fund so that the taxpayers are not burdened with the cost.
Rep. DeGraf is a first term (and hopefully last term – don’t let us down Kansas!) Republican who is also an Associate Pastor at his church. Could someone refresh me on the passage in the New Testament where Jesus tells the ladies to save up for an abortion in case they’re raped? Continue reading
On a twisting, winding, downhill road, 50 miles per hour in a car would probably feel like a steerable roller coaster. The same road at 50 miles per hour on a bicycle would probably feel more like an out of control nightmare. For cyclists, speeds of even 70 mph and up are part of the job with only their helmet, bike, and superior instincts to buffer against the unforgiving combination of gravity and asphalt.

This weekend marks the unofficial start of camping season. America’s parks and wilderness areas will be fill with city dwellers trying to get some peace, quiet, and fresh air. There is nothing more relaxing then lying in a hammock by a clear lake or watching wildlife on a remote trail. Continue reading
Hello darlings. What’s that? You’ve missed me? Oh: You haven’t missed me. And you want me to get with the putting out for you, starting here and now. Okay, sure. I love it when you get all macho on me. And just look at that bitch Bacall, sitting there seething with jealousy. Continue reading
When are you the most alert, the most productive, feel like you can take on the world? Do you wake up bright-eyed and bushy tailed, or do you require a slow build-up to peak efficiency? Today’s QOTD:
During my second semester of my senior year in college, I made fake IDs.
It feels weird to finally be able to say that. Depending on which state statute you go by, I committed either a Class D felony or a Class A misdemeanor. The reason I can talk about it now is because the statue of limitations on both has expired. Continue reading
A Canadian couple is raising their 4 month old baby without telling anyone the gender.
In an email the couple explained, “We’ve decided not to share Storm’s sex for now — a tribute to freedom and choice in place of limitation, a stand up to what the world could become in Storm’s lifetime (a more progressive place?…).”
Is this the height of progressiveness or politically correct ridiculousness? Parentcental.ca
