Google Would Rather Honor The Socialist...
This blog post is very late. It’s a long story that I won’t bore you with, but I decided to finish it “better late than never” style. Anytime you pay attention to what Google decides to honor, you find out a little bit more about the worldview of the people who work for the company. On December 15th, 2009 Google was faced with the opportunity to honor the anniversary of the Bill of Rights....

Breaker, Breaker, 1-9…Where’s My Social Justice,...

Cases Of Chlamydia Have Increased Drastically...
The number of women contracting chlamydia has increased tremendously since 1984. I would question whether testing procedures and testing frequency have changed since then. If not, ladies, it’s time to reassess who you’re sleeping with.

This data animation will show how the total births have dropped dramatically in the last 50 years. The upside is that we’re living longer. Click the “play” button (the arrow at the bottom left) to see the timeline’s animation. There were...

I Already Had A Screenshot Of Annabel Park's Now...
Obama political operative, Annabel Park, who pretends to be a “grassroots” (read: astroturd) leader of the Coffee Party (read: Sanka Party), deleted her LinkedIn account after bloggers started exposing her as the fraud she is. Funny thing…I had an exchange about her over the weekend and had already taken a screenshot of her LinkedIn profile. I knew she would delete it, because I ...

From Jill Stanek:
Polish arm of the Center for Bio-Ethical Reform was pursuing an opportunity to display a huge 74 ft x 32 ft billboard alerting some and reminding others that it was Adolf Hitler who brought abortion to Poland.
