N.Y. radio station suspends morning crew
Damn straight they should've been fired.
The song included references to ??screaming chinks? and orphaned children ??sold into child slavery.? The chorus began, ??So now you're screwed, it's a tsunami, you'd better run … go find your mommy.?
And good riddance, fucktards.
Wolcott makes some excellent points about what an inhuman, unfeeling sociopath duhbya is. Namely how "chipper" he was shortly after the deaths of 31 soldiers became known.
Woman Threatened with Arrest for anti-Bush Bumper Sticker
Don't tell me I'm shrill when fascist shit like this is happening all over.
How is Lieberman still even in the Democratic party?
Joseph Lieberman, a Connecticut Democrat who strongly backed the war, urged a "resounding vote" for Rice to show "that we're together for what we're pursuing which is a successful conclusion to our involvement in Iraq and to the spread of freedom and democracy throughout the world."
F-U, Joe. You're a large part of the reason, both in 2000 and 2003, why we are even in Iraq. Asshat.
The Lowdown on High Self-Esteem
Synopsis: self-esteem doesn't mean shit, except that you feel better about yourself. Not better performance, grades, respect, or less violence.
Here are some of our disappointing findings. High self- esteem in schoolchildren does not produce better grades….Self-esteem doesn't make adults perform better at their jobs either….Likewise, people with high self-esteem think they make better impressions, have stronger friendships and have better romantic lives than other people, but the data don't support their self-flattering views….It was widely believed that low self-esteem could be a cause of violence, but in reality violent individuals, groups and nations think very well of themselves….High self-esteem doesn't prevent youngsters from cheating or stealing or experimenting with drugs and sex.
…This certainly makes me feel better about my self-hatred. Woohoo!
Eurasia is the enemy. Listen to the mp3, this is fucking incredible. And I mean that in the head-hitting-your-desk-repeatedly way.
Catastrophic Global Climate Change
We've got less than 10 years. We are so fucked.
Synopsis: If the global temperature rises by more than about 1.2 degrees from the current level (which will take ten years), positive feedback will set in, making a further rise of another 3 degrees very quick and almost inevitable–this total rise of 5 degrees should be enough to allow substantial amounts of the icy methane slurry at the bottom of the oceans to melt–which will add enough greenhouse gasses to the atmosphere to again push the temperature up an additional five degrees, while simultaneously killing most of the oxygen using life in the oceans.
The last time this happened, 95% of the life on the planet DIED.

I like my vitriol, and I like it steaming hot.
Are there any charlatans the idiots in the White House won't fall for? First Chalabi, and then Hanna… fools, one and all.
Central banks shift reserves away from US
Considering that central banks (primarily Asian) fund 83% of the current US account deficit… crap. Crap crap craparoo.
