…almost kills a kitten.
It’s not good for people, either, but it’s a lot worse for a carnivore.

Gluten Intolerance
What if it’s all in your head? I think the same may be true for MSG.
Hyphens
Is the Internet killing them? This is the problem:
“People are not confident about using hyphens anymore, they’re not really sure what they are for,” Shorter OED editor Angus Stevenson told Reuters at the time.
It’s part of the continuing breakdown of the educational system. Hyphens are important, primarily for disambiguation of modifiers. There is a difference between a light brown suitcase and a light-brown suitcase. The former is a brown suitcase that doesn’t weigh much, and the latter is a suitcase (of unknown weight) that is light brown. It’s that simple.
Gun Control
Why gun owners are right to fight it:
The anti-gun crowd doesn’t want “compromise.” They want confiscation and control.
Exactly right. When they tell you they don’t want to take your guns away, they’re lying. In order to take your guns away.
Stand-Your-Ground Laws
As Glenn says, Hollywood dumbasses.
In addition to his points, a) there’s nothing wrong with stand-your-ground laws and b) the Zimmerman case had nothing to do with stand your ground.
These morons just can’t stand the notion that people should be able to defend themselves.
[Update a few minuts later]
Hey, remember when Barack Obama supported stand-your-ground laws? Well, neither does he. To repeat: dumbasses.
[Update a while later]
OK, you’ll be as unsurprised as I am to learn that John McCain has decided to become one of the dumbasses.
Evoloterra
Clark Lindsey and his wife performed the ceremony with some friends, and has a review. Our experience has been that people who are not generally into space enjoy it quite a bit, if you can get them to do it.
Lea Thompson
OK, so what am I missing? Can anyone explain it to me other than the pathetic geeks? (Sorry, the discussion is in comments, though the movie review is about as entertaining as one might expect from DDay).
Good Timing
Those Al Qaeda terrorists sure picked a good news day to bust out of prison in Iraq.
This is why we have Gitmo.
“A National Conversation”
…about complete crap:
President Barack Obama has already increased our national debt somewhere between five and six trillion dollars and shows no sign of stopping. Maybe that’s why women clutch their purses when he gets in an elevator.
Heh. RTWT.
Saving ObamaCare
Is that what all the race baiting is about?
