Fucking hilarious defense of Comic Sans, the font I adored in 6th grade and used for my emu poster and project.
“People love me. Why? Because I’m fun. I’m the life of the party. I bring levity to any situation. Need to soften the blow of a harsh message about restroom etiquette? SLAM. There I am. Need to spice up the directions to your graduation party? WHAM. There again. Need...

Wis. Prosecutor - Sex Ed Rules Could Mean Charges →
So, if you follow a new law that actually allows sex education, you will be charged for contributing to the delinquency of a minor. PLUS: “Southworth’s letter said law would convert sex education classes ”into a radical program that sexualizes our children as early as kindergarten. This, in turn, will lead to more child sexual assaults.”

The Stranger's 2009 Endorsements →
Some choice excerpts:
No on 1033:
“First: Fuck Tim Eyman. …. And, one more time: Fuck Tim Eyman.”
Yes on 71: [please please please]
“And if you thought Tim Eyman was fucked, the guys behind Referendum 71 are gaping assholes. … The two lied every step of the way to get this on the ballot, claiming in television ads and on the petition that the measure was the same...

Quarantine for Afghanistan's Only Pig
“There are no cases of swine flu in Afghanistan, but there is one victim: the country’s only pig, whose lonely existence got somewhat lonelier this week, when he was taken from the small, muddy enclosure he previously shared with deer and goats at Kabul’s zoo and placed in quarantine.”
Poor guy. I wonder how the goat and deer are doing….. (Although better than being in Egypt and...

Calgary activists create shoe cannon for Bush's... →
It will be the first of almost a dozen reported speaking engagements Mr. Bush will hold this year. Activists in Calgary won’t let it be easy.
Footwear has been collected and a cannon has been constructed to toss shoes at an effigy of the much-maligned leader in homage to the Iraqi reporter who chucked his loafers at Mr. Bush last December and was sentenced last week to three years in...

In San Francisco, a Coed Retreat Dedicated to Female Sexuality.
At 7 a.m. each day, as the rest of America is eating Cheerios or trying to face gridlock without hyperventilating, about a dozen women, naked from the waist down, lie with eyes closed in a velvet-curtained room, while clothed men huddle over them, stroking them in a ritual known as orgasmic meditation — “OMing,” for short. The...

“Of all the things people warned would happen post-election, no one ever said anything about how complicated dating would become. Especially if your dad loses the election. There are things that have been difficult, but nothing quite as tough as dating. I fear the election has destroyed my ability and desire to date.”
Must not be too passionate about what you campaigned for if the...

Fox News’ Megyn Kelly: It’s a super railroad, of sorts — a line that will deliver customers straight from Disney, we kid you not, to the doorstep of the moonlight bunny ranch brothel in Nevada. I say, to the moonlight Bunny Ranch brothel in Nevada. So should your tax dollars be paying for these kinds of projects? […]
Republican Rep. Trent Franks: The majority leader of the U.S. Senate,...

“I want some of these women to start telling me what it is I must do to close the gender gap - or, if not what it is I must do to close the gender gap, what it is I’ve done that has caused the caused the gender gap; assuming the gender gap is true and that the poll is true. […] I own the men, and what must I do now to own women? And who better to ask than women?”
Right….

“I’m not saying this (homosexuality) is the only sin that’s out there,” said Sen. Scott Renfroe, R-Greeley. “We have murder. We have all sorts of sin. We have adultery. And we don’t make laws making those legal, and we would never think to make murder legal.”

The mystery of Ireland's worst driver →
It was discovered that the man every member of the Irish police’s rank and file had been looking for - a Mr Prawo Jazdy - wasn’t exactly the sort of prized villain whose apprehension leads to an officer winning an award.
In fact he wasn’t even human.
“Prawo Jazdy is actually the Polish for driving licence and not the first and surname on the licence,” read a letter...

The most possible version of Intelligent Design I’ve heard yet:
“I am writing you with much concern after having read of your hearing to decide whether the alternative theory of Intelligent Design should be taught along with the theory of Evolution. I think we can all agree that it is important for students to hear multiple viewpoints so they can choose for themselves the theory that...
I thought we were past this....

This is ridiculous. Last time I checked, our government agencies were just a tad strapped for cash.
Meanwhile, Washington legislators have a different attitude.
