Orac occasionally reposts some of his classic Insolence, which is a good thing – especially when he reposts something so mind-meltingly five-alarm Woo that I wonder where it’s been all my life. This bit of classic Insolence alternatively made me laugh, cry and howl. I ended up starting silently at my computer screen in numb …

Commending These to Your Attention
I have to go to bed early so that I’m nice and fresh for fending off used car salesmen in the morning. I haven’t yet decided how I’m going to approach this situation. I got my hand in by test-driving a car I’m lukewarm about, and managed to escape without being invited back to the …

You May Think I Hate You After This
I assure you, I don’t. I can prove it. I’m warning you ahead of time, read Orac’s Friday Dose of Woo in increments. Just nibble away at the edges of the burning stupid, then take plenty of antacid and digest for a bit before returning for more. On the continuum of burning stupidity, this one’s …

Palinisms and a Very Good Point
Lockwood takes note of the new book of Palinisms soon to be published, and makes a damned good point: However, I think that simply listing all these strange quotes (and they are strange) for the LOLs misses the point. First, it gets old pretty quick. Second, it overlooks, even obscures, the strange phenomenon of Palin: …

Not Talking About Robert Lanza
Not linking to posts about Robert Lanza, either. Nope. Not linking to posts about Robert Lanza at all. Not even this post about Robert Lanza. Because it would be just awful if Robert Lanza became upset. Poor little woo-meister.

Newsflash: Sticking Burning Candles in Your Ear Could Be Hazardous to Your Health
Back in the late 1990s, someone babbled at me about ear candling for a great many minutes. They waxed poetic over the health benefits of stuffing a candle in your ear and lighting it up. I can’t remember why. All I can remember is staring at them with my jaw hanging open and thinking, “Are …

While We’re On the Subject of Evisceration…
Let’s talk about death and taxes. The Tax Fairy myth’s just been killed (again)- by conservatives: Bruce Bartlett, who was an adviser to Ronald Reagan and a Treasury official in the first Bush administration, points out that even the Bush administration never claimed such a ridiculous thing. He quotes no fewer than six Bush economic …

Cujo Wields The Smack-o-Matic to Excellent Effect
On the frothing idiots throwing a major shit-fit over the planned mosque near Ground Zero: Compared to those people, Islamic terrorism doesn’t seem terribly frightening at all. Terrorists can never take from us what we are. Americans are the only ones who can do that. What we need to remember from this is that there …
