Surprise! Private companies lie, even as the world... →
NY Times: For more than a decade the Global Climate Coalition, a group representing industries with profits tied to fossil fuels, led an aggressive lobbying and public relations campaign against the idea that emissions of heat-trapping gases could lead to global warming. “The role of greenhouse gases in climate change is not well understood,” the coalition said in a scientific “backgrounder”...

Glenn Beck, train wreck
Ya know, every time I want to stop caring about the cesspool that is politics; every time I want to stop siding with the lesser of two evils in our lowest common denominator, 2-party, zero-sum political system; some conservative somewhere shows me exactly why I must resist that urge. Do yourself a favor and watch the above video in its entirety — your patience will be rewarded! Via...

Goat meat and gay sex
According to Henry Alford in the New York Times, if you’re not eating goat yet, you’re “late to the party”. You know, that worldwide party where they confine, intimidate, torture, and murder hundreds of millions of goats — where they describe said terror with cutesy, overwrought gay-food-and-culture-fetishist-speak: Koreans think eating goat soup increases virility. It can lead to better...
