Thanks to the Annals of Improbable Research, I can now sleep better at night. It is now scientifically proven that Kansas is flatter than a pancake.

Gay couples adopting children = “doing violence.”

I poop on you, Pope.

How about all of the violence you do [sic] by spouting such hateful words? People listen to you and you should be ashamed. I’m afraid you’re bound for hell.

I woke up yesterday to President Bush’s press conference, which because it was not totally scripted, made him sound like the complete moron he is. I find it not only terribly offensive that he would be looking into banning gay marriage or civil unions, but it’s just the kind of close-mindedness that I have come to expect from our president. If there’s someone out there that could give me an answer to how a gay marriage or civil union harms you, I would love to hear it.

Apparently our president isn’t hip to what people are watching on television.

In somewhat related news, Israeli parliment passed a measure that would essentially banish any Palestinian that marries an Israeli to “prevent terror attacks.” That’s fucking brilliant. No, really. I have a novel idea…stop fighting. Yeah yeah, I know it seems like a no-brainer, but there is choice, is there not? And don’t someone go mounting their high horse telling me I don’t understand what’s going on there or that there’s some rational reason to keep bombing the shit out of one another. There’s isn’t.

Over the last week, I’ve been reading and hearing stories about how the hole in the ozone layer is recovering. I mean, who wouldn’t be happy about this, right? In some cases no news is good news, especially when it comes to environmental news, such as this. I can’t help but think that someone, perhaps in the current administration, will use this as fuel to ease up on the restrictions that have been put into place with regards to chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). See what I’m getting at here?

Best. List. Ever.

In case you aren’t in the know, today is 7-11, which means FREE SLURPEES! Be careful of the brain freeze. Sips are highly recommended.

Nike is buying Converse and all I gotta say is, I’m stocking up. Fuck sweatshop All Stars. [Thanks to Laura for bringing it to my attention]

I laughed pretty hard at this one. [via kottke.org].

I just finished watching the video for “Hunted By A Freak,” by Mogwai. Freak is the operative word here, folks. I can see the folks at PETA huddled in a room already.
