GS-SLUT: Our government contractors at work

by @ Saturday, January 29th, 2005. Filed under the spews of Evil Bastard

So, what else can we do to piss off the muslims? I know, let’s hire female contractors to give POW’s lap dances and pretend to smear them with menstrual blood.
It’s ironic that we’re such a prudish society ourselves when our interrogators think themselves innovative by using this appalling tactic (irony liberally applied). Imagine, for example, [...]

Only fact may be taught in science books

by @ Friday, January 28th, 2005. Filed under Asshats in the News!

Two weeks after a federal judge ordered Cobb County to remove evolution disclaimers from science books, a state lawmaker has introduced a bill requiring that only “scientific fact” to be taught in public schools. To Republican State Rep. Ben Bridges of Cleveland, that rules out the theory of evolution.

A February 2004 report issued by Rep. George Miller (D-Calif.) encapsulated the ways that Wal-Mart squeezes and cheats its employees, among them: blocking union organizing efforts, paying employees an average $8.23 an hour (as compared to more than $10 for an average supermarket worker), allegedly extracting off-the-clock work, and providing inadequate and unaffordable healthcare packages [...]

A couple days ago, I called up Dell to send them to send me another laptop keyboard. My “L” key had started to stick, and I wanted to head it off before I wasn’t able to type at all.
Today the order arrived, new keyboard and they thoughtfully included a screwdriver, just in case I [...]

Just watched Closer, which is beautiful, well acted, well shot, well written – and I hate it.
Somebody else give it a review, I despise this thing the way the people who believe in the spirit of Christmas hate Bad Santa. Jude Law, your lame worthless character gets lucky enough to have this beautiful woman [...]

Daily strips

Last story pointed something out to me. If you want to actually see the daily comics, you need to either manually go to the website or pay some stupid fee. Hey, guess what – of course there’s a script that’ll do it for you. There’s also another one that will automagically parse and email it [...]
