Priorities?

I think it's fair to say that Republicans have spent more time over the last week criticizing Obama over the invasion of Crimea than they have criticizing Putin.

Groundhog's Day

Phil saw his shadow, another 100 years of pseudo-science.

MLK

Happy MLK Day! And a shout out to all the future Kings out there making the world a better place. No matter how big or small, people are still improving the world one step at a time.

The Global Warming Trump Card

Every Winter idiot global warming deniers say stupid shit like, "It's cold outside, therefor the world isn't warming." Of course it's called "global" warming, so even if some areas get colder, the whole world gets warmer. I'm not a scientist, so I'm not an expert on how it happens. But do you know who are scientists, SCIENTISTS! 90 percent of them say the world is getting warmer and 82 percent say it's because of humans. People who spend their lives in various fields of science making our lives better know more about our world than businessmen on Fox News or idiots living in the backwoods. Most of them say the world is warming because of humans, so it is most likely warming because of humans. That is the trump card in any debate with a denier. You don't have to do hours of research, intelligent men and women have already done it for you. Until that number dips below 50 percent of scientists, I say the deniers should just shut the fuck up and get out of our way so we can stop global warming.

Equal Justice For Everyone

It's nice that New Mexico just legalized same-sex marriage. But all the states that have it are blue states. It should be legal everywhere. Before slavery ended, half the states already banned it. It wasn't a complete victory until it was banned in every state. Let's just hope we don't have to have a civil war for Alabama, Oklahoma, and all the red states to have same-sex marriage too.

Happy Birthday Bill Hicks!

"The world is like a ride in an amusement park, and when you choose to go on it you think it's real because that's how powerful our minds are. The ride goes up and down, around and around, it has thrills and chills, and it's very brightly colored, and it's very loud, and it's fun for a while. Many people have been on the ride a long time, and they begin to wonder, "Hey, is this real, or is this just a ride?" And other people have remembered, and they come back to us and say, "Hey, don't worry; don't be afraid, ever, because this is just a ride." And we … kill those people. "Shut him up! I've got a lot invested in this ride, shut him up! Look at my furrows of worry, look at my big bank account, and my family. This has to be real." It's just a ride. But we always kill the good guys who try and tell us that, you ever notice that? And let the demons run amok … But it doesn't matter, because it's just a ride. And we can change it any time we want. It's only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings of money. Just a simple choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love instead see all of us as one. Here's what we can do to change the world, right now, to a better ride. Take all that money we spend on weapons and defenses each year and instead spend it feeding and clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would pay for many times over, not one human being excluded, and we could explore space, together, both inner and outer, forever, in peace."-Bill Hicks
