“The Arc of the Moral Universe is Long, But it Bends Towards Justice” – Martin Luther King, Jr.

Vegetable Butcher.
Okay, the vegetable butcher sounds a little ridiculous:
If you’re not familiar with how to trim an artichoke, we’ll trim you an artichoke. If you don’t think you have time to peel your baby carrots, you can leave them with us and go shop in the other parts of the store, and we’ll peel them. We’ll do anything but cook them. On your way out, we’ll...

This is pretty legendary:
An Oregon State University offensive lineman has been dismissed from the team after police say they found him naked and intoxicated in a stranger’s home and had to use stun guns to take him into custody.

– New York Times grammar blogger chides his coworkers for using the word “hipster” more than 250 times this year.
Man, I am in a foul mood today.
I don’t know where all this vitriol is coming from.
It feels good to vent, though.
Fuck cultural relativism
This is barbaric and disgusting:
After the Taliban proclaimed the sentence, Siddiqa, dressed in the head-to-toe Afghan burqa, and Khayyam, who had a wife and two young children, were encircled by the male-only crowd in the bazaar. Taliban activists began stoning them first, then villagers joined in until they killed first Siddiqa and then Khayyam, Mr. Khan said. No women were allowed to...

Couldn’t have said it better myself. What’s being lost in this whole debate is that we were not attacked by Islam on 9/11. We were attacked by Al Qaeda, a radical offshoot of Islam.

Cinn. Reds and Stl. Cards go at it after Brandon Phillips and Yadier Molina exchange words in the first inning.
I can’t believe the Reds are tied in the division with these assholes now.
Best. Job Quitting. EVER.
They should give this guy a medal:
A flight attendant ran out of patience on a plane that just landed at JFK on Monday afternoon, so he allegedly cursed a blue streak over the P.A. system, grabbed some beers, pulled the emergency chute, slid down and ran from the plane, sources said.
How can the story get any better than that?

Happy birthday, Mr. President:
According to a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey, more than a quarter of the public have doubts about Obama’s citizenship, with 11 percent saying Obama was definitely not born in the United States and another 16 percent saying the president was probably not born in the country.
