Karl Rove is back atop the long list of...
The good little defender of “traditional marriage” just got divorced. I wonder if anyone in the press will ask him, during one of his regular media appearances, how that squares with his past views and actions. Please, somebody — pleasantly surprise me.

Rupert Murdoch pushes forged intelligence to start... →
U.S. intelligence has concluded that the document published recently by the Times of London, which purportedly describes an Iranian plan to do experiments on what the newspaper described as a “neutron initiator” for an atomic weapon, is a fabrication, according to a former Central Intelligence Agency official.
Philip Giraldi, who was a CIA counterterrorism official from 1976 to 1992,...

vizwrtsic: So, I like what you post, generally, but this time I’m going to have to tell you to shove it.
As a vegan, and a non-moron, I dig your anti-ugg stance, but as a woman, I think you sound like a patriarchal prick. I’ll betcha most women getting judged by you don’t give a fuck how attractive you find them. Why should women change their appearance to fit your standards? We don’t exist just...

“100 percent of the Islamic terrorists are Muslim, and that is our main enemy...”
– Rep. Peter King (R-NY), via ThinkProgress. You know what, he may have a point. But only if he and his fellow right-wing Christians go straight to the top of the list.

forestfairy: Why are you being so rude? It’s one thing to inform others about animal exploitation, but you give animal welfare/animal rights activists a bad reputation by insulting those who disagree with you.
I was insulted when this individual decided to laugh about what I had to say. I was doubly insulted that this person did not take 10 seconds to confirm whether or not his/her incredulity...

lennonlove: Um… they don’t kill sheep to get their wool. Omg I’m laughing out loud.
UGGs are made of sheepskin. FYI, industrial wool farming is extremely torturous for the sheep. Think big sharp shears wielded by assholes who don’t give a crap. The initial pain of the careless cutting is followed by infections and insect infestations. You couldn’t put up with it for 5 minutes. OMG...

Hey ladies, a bit of advice...
UGGs make you look immature and self-unaware. I can’t tell you how many times I have been attracted to a woman until I noticed her UGGs. Is she a high schooler trying to look older? Is she a college-age sorority robot? Is she a post-college arrested-development wanna-be? Either way, I’m not interested, and neither are my extremely attractive, sophisticated friends.
I know the above...

She said she wouldn’t.
I wish I had a Plan B on this.

Flora v. Fauna
Natalie Angier, NY Times:
Before we cede the entire moral penthouse to “committed vegetarians” and “strong ethical vegans,” we might consider that plants no more aspire to being stir-fried in a wok than a hog aspires to being peppercorn-studded in my Christmas clay pot… The more that scientists learn about the complexity of plants — their keen sensitivity to the environment, the speed with...

Me: Do you have anything that's been anally electrocuted?
Fat Asshole: Oh, yeah. Definitely.
Me: Tell me, how many animals died for this coat right here?
Fat Asshole: Not enough.
Me: How about some human skin coats? I've been looking around for one of those.
Fat Asshole: Yep, we have those in back. We make 'em out of guys like you.
Me: Oh, then it's high quality.
Fat Asshole: I think it's time you left, friend.
Me: I'm not your friend.

“If the climate was a bank, it would’ve been saved already.”
– Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez in Copenhagen on 12/16, questioning America’s priorities and its commitment to halting climate change. Don’t pay attention to him, Americans — he’s just a leftist with a funny accent.

Thank you, international press
U.S. Senator James Inhofe (R-OK), the most vocal climate change denier in the senate, went to the UN climate conference in Copenhagen to try for some attention. (He didn’t get much.) The following exchange took place:
Inhofe’s aides eventually rustled up a group of reporters, and the Oklahoman — wearing black snakeskin cowboy boots — held forth from the top of a flight of stairs in the...

Yes, octopuses are smart
Researchers and close observers have long known that octopuses are intelligent and psychologically sensitive creatures with unique personalities. Now they’ve been captured on camera “using tools” — in this case, wrenching half-buried, human-discarded coconut shells from the sandy ocean floor to create spherical shelters. Check out the awesome video.

“Dismiss/distract. Keep US Press busy.”
– An employee of drug maker Wyeth, in a handwritten strategy note following the release of a study showing a link between cancer and hormone therapy drugs like Wyeth’s Prempro. The New York Times reports: Even as evidence mounted of an association of the drugs with cancer — first in the 1970s...

The new passion. — Why do we fear and hate a possible reversion to barbarism? Because it would make people unhappier than they are? Oh no! The barbarians of every age were happier: let us not deceive ourselves! — The reason is that our drive to knowledge has become too strong for us to be able to want happiness without knowledge or the happiness of a strong, firmly rooted delusion;...

"Hollywood"
They all would’ve been killed in The Sound of Music. They would’ve found out that Pinocchio could never tell the truth. And she wouldn’t make it to shore, the little mermaid. He would’ve married a whore from a wealthy family… And Cinderella would have scrubbed those floors til her hands grew old and tired And nobody would look away…

There is no "ClimateGate"
Dear Americans:
“ClimateGate” is a sham designed to get you to align yourselves with conservative and corporate political/financial interests. It is yet another misleading narrative rife with outright lies.
To confuse you further, the parties perpetuating this scam will continue to claim, without any actual evidence, that the scientists and the environmentally-concerned are the ones...

From DailyKos’s Muskegon Critic:
I do not relish this day.
This is the day I have the Santa talk with my son.
To tell him what and who Santa really is.
Santa…is a socialist. A filthy, filthy socialist.
From his red suit to his anti-capitalist workshop high up in the icy tundra of socialist Canada where they measure every toy with the metric system.
Every year he and his sick...

Climate talks starting today
International negotiators are gathering to hammer out an agreement at the climate conference in Copenhagen. Today’s announcement of the EPA’s intention to regulate carbon dioxide emissions under the Clean Air Act will lend some momentum.
The focus should also be on livestock and agricultural pollution (for literally billions of reasons), but until more people wake up to the total...
