Carl Sagan, when autotuned, sounds slightly more like Kermit the Frog than usual, but this was still inspired and beautiful. Also features Stephen Hawking. By the by, laptop speakers do not do this song justice.

A train wreck in EXTREMELY SLOW MOTION
(Fair warning: N-bombs and other such not-safe-for-work-without-earphones ridiculousness) The pride of the South expounds upon the “gayness” of your President, over the banning of flavored chaw.

Glenn Beck won’t stand behind his own statements
And yet, neither will he explain them, or disown them. “What is White Culture? I don’t know how to answer that, that isn’t a trap.” You insipid asshole.

Real-life griefing
I’m going to tell a pretty geeky story, but it has a point, I swear. A few weeks ago, in World of Warcraft, Jodi and I were at about level 18 or so, and were questing in one of the newbie areas’ hub cities, The Crossroads. In WoW, a city is basically just an area …

Have your pets heard the good news about Jeshua Cottontail?
At least it explains why dogs can’t eat chocolate. It’s got that on other works of fiction that people take as real.
