Via Spencer , Gawker reports on a growing movement of Christians using religious “jokes” in order to call for the assassination of Obama . The “joke” is this T-shirt, citing a verse from the Bible that says, “May his days be few; may ...

Since I’m quite shortly going to stop living in Austin, TX---where I’ve lived longer than any other place in my life---I’m starting to get sentimental. So today’s original song for the Genius Ten (leave yours in comments) is from one of the great ...

If you haven’t seen this story yet , ( via ) well, let’s just say that it’s both shocking and has a weight of inevitability to it. An Arkansas woman called the cops for a domestic dispute, not because her husband was beating her or anything like ...

Jay, I wouldn’t call Friedman’s latest piece “good” , in the sense that it’s still incoherently written and full of just weird ideas. Such as his belief that the only way to slow population growth is abstinence, getting right into the ...
