Extra! Extra!

Are you trying to tell me that deporting the labor force will have a negative effect on the economy?

Take this grape juice...

In case we all forgot, Jesus hates alcohol and you should too.

Not to be an alarmist....

But when you can't count on your virtual bank, maybe it's time to bury a mason jar full of cash in your virtual backyard.

A big, cuddly...

ferocious story to start off the weekend.

A Public Service Announcement:

We'd like to take a moment to introduce our very good friend, Dr. Dino, aka Kent Hovind.

And just for the record, there is no way this guy is a wacko. His principled refusal to pay taxes has no effect whatsoever on his qualifications as the world's premier Creation Science Evangelist.

Here is a short interview with Dr. Hovind by one of Britain's premier journalists. Here is a short summary of this brilliant man's belief system.

Surely He Who Watches While You're In The Shower will have mercy on this humble servant and get him out a bit early.

Behold!! The Creation Museum

NZ Dating Service

A Public Service Announcement:

Let's dispense with the pleasantries, and let me be perfectly clear: When you and your dating partner of choice are out on a date, don't sit on the same side of the booth.

Perhaps there are exceptions, but if your date is so ugly you can't look at them while eating, perhaps you should revise your potential-mate-screening practices to exclude people that make you physically ill.

If the thought of enduring an entire meal without any more physical contact with your date than can be accomplished across a tabletop is odious to you, then order in. Or learn to cook. Or do us all a favor, and stick a (metal) fork into an (active) electrical socket.

If both you and your date can't eat a meal without facing the door, do us all a favor and get sterilized. God knows we don't need any more crazy people running around anyway.

In the interest of full disclosure, at least one of our editors is a mouth-breathing moron who likes sitting on the same side of the booth with the physically co-dependent wildebeests that he takes out to dinner.

Thats right it's a link to the AJC, deal with it.

A Public Service Announcement:

Ladies and Gentlemen,

"Thusly" is not a word. Look here. If you'll be so kind as to scroll down, you will note its origin: "thusly" originated as a way to make fun of people who were attempting to speak as if they were educated.

Articles like this (see paragraph 3, introducing the second long block quote of the article) only make the world a less-intelligent-sounding place.

In sum, don't use "thusly." At the very least, it makes you sound dumb; if that's not enough, you are also risking a serious remonstrance and perhaps some unforgiving chastising if I happen to come across it.

Stay Classy.

[As an aside, don't use long block quotes. It's called paraphrasing, for Christ's sake. Also, don't quote Anchorman anymore.]
