In a previous post, Dummy vs. Idiot, I define the difference between these two terms by looking back at the Bush administration.  In case you don’t have time to read it:  dummy is to idiot what Bush is to Rumsfeld, for example. Today, I can give you a more updated example.  Dummy is...

A sold-out concert planned for June 3 in Jakarta, Indonesia has been canceled by Lady Gaga due to threats of violence by religious hard-liners.  This has started me thinking about extremism, and God. As far as I understand, most religions teach that God is love, and this infinite love (both...

I’m sure that  you’ve already heard of LiquiGlide.  According to many a blog, this is the invention that you’ve been waiting for your entire life. It seems that the days of ketchup bottle torture will soon be over:  1.  Your own, as you will no longer have to wait (at...

According to the CDC, a resistant strain of dumbassitis has swept the political landscape this year.  One spokesperson for the health organization explained, “We have always had dumbasses in politics, but this year we’re seeing symptomatic stupidity with heightened intensity and...
