The Violent Shorties

Obligatory Health Insurance Reform front and center: Health care and the denial thereof as a way to control the masses; the good, the bad, and this POS reform bill (no, doesn’t mean “point of service” in this context, sorry).

Not as overt as Quiverfull: religion and women is an interesting read. And I don’t know what to make of this.

Study confirms what most of us knew: When Wal-Mart comes to town, the number of low-wage jobs they create are roughly equal to the number of decent jobs they destroy.

Most Americans are Idiots: Most approve of the use of full body scanners. These scanners are much like a virtual strip search with a side order of radiation. Oh, and they would not have found the Undiebomber‘s stash. Pfeh.

On Employment: America’s Low Wage Future; Are the Baby Boomers starting to retire?; Who are the unemployed?; 6.4 job seekers for every open job.

Mighty Joe Rollino: how many people can lift 635 pounds with one finger? The answer is now zero. Joe has passed away at the amazing age of 104 (insert obligatory comment about fitness and long life here).

Conan is classy: (No, not this Conan). Conan O’Brien’s resignation letter.

This is not news: I seriously do not give a shit where Bill Clinton hides his sausage. I can think of few bigger wastes of journalist time. Enough already!

And one last thought: Airplane accidents.

  1. “Excuse me, Ma’am… because our full body scanners cannot detect plastique, would you be so kind as to step behind this curtain”…

    “Spectrum”…

  2. Interesting that you would object to the People Magazine ™ style of journalism and yet provide more hits which contribute to it’s proliferation…..

    I digress…

    certainly a simple sentence (e.g. Bill’s peccadilloes compromise the notion of a Clinton “team,” but the subject is moot and the piece is not journalism as much as it is a commercial ‘plugging” of her book…
    any publicity is good publicity. Perhaps you are “doing her a favor.” (<–that phrase has always struck me as grammarically (grammatically?) strange.)
