Someone decided it would be cute to stuff a shoe with a foot from an animal's skeleton and seaweed.  Hopefully they'll figure out what's actually happening, and give the hoaxer a kick in the ass when they find them.

Here's a little glimpse into what I'm pretty sure hell is like:



Sorry about that.

Why is Reason, a libertarian magazine, for government regulations against teaching any possible holes in the theory of evolution?

But then again, I got my higher education at conservative Christian institutions, so I'm probably too stupid to understand the nuances of their arguments anyway.

I hear you pirouetting sissies on the East Coast are complaining that it is hot outside.

Boo fucking hoo. I'd say to cry me a river but the last thing we need in the Midwest is more fucking water. Over the weekend Southeastern Wisconsin (among many other places) was slammed with up to 10 inches of rain and everyone I know has had some flooding or water damage. While it is exciting to have so many opportunities to name new rivers and lakes, the damage is staggering.

Cars were fucking floating through intersections in downtown Milwaukee. They had to close the fucking freeway. This bridge in my new hometown is normally high enough above the river to make you think twice about jumping off.

But all I hear on the news is that it is a touch over 90 degrees in New York in June. Stop the fucking presses! I'm sure it was really tough going to the pool or working on your tan while I was knee deep in my friends basement on her birthday!*

Anyway, Governor Doyle (*spit*) has declared a state of emergency in 29 counties in Wisconsin due to flooding, tornado, hail and high wind damage. I personally witnessed golf-ball sized hail on Saturday. I should have some pretty fucking awesome pictures/video of the event later on today when I get access to my home computer.

Anyone from other effected areas of the midwest, feel free to send me pictures, video or stories (chaos -dot- overlord -at- gmail -dot- com) and I'll be sure to add them in here.

* Another home improvement tip from Moron Pundit: When you are in the middle of the heaviest rainfall in decades, do not unplug your sump pump. Even if the fire department instructs you to do so (no seriously) do not. Leave the fucker plugged in. For real. I'm not kidding.

A vegan couple in Scotland has had their 12 year old daughter admitted to the hospital because of decalcification of her bones caused by a lack of Vitamin D in her diet.  The hospital says this 12 year old now has the spine of an 80 year old woman.  The hospital is facing heavy pressure to request the child be taken into protective custo...wait, what?  She hasn't already?  They're killing this kid, they ought to be in jail! 

As it turns out, no, the Glasgow child services have received no complaints.  First question...why the fuck not?  And second question, why did the reporters not try and file a complaint themselves, or Glasgow's child services not start their own investigation?

Headline: Knightley in Talks for Columbia's 'My Fair Lady'

To borrow a line from [adult swim], I thought that the writer's strike was over?

Update: Ughhhhhhh. Why? (and yes, I know it's old news, but it still makes me mad.)

I fucking knew it!  Told ya Rachael Ray was evil defined...

Okay, yeah, its a reach, but I'll take any excuse I'm given to declare Rachael Ray the Antichrist.  Cannot stand her.

Obviously most people were appalled by the Vanity Fair photo shoot with Miley Cyrus, and with reason.  Now we have a few people trying to make a Got Milk ad she did (HT) and turn it into another controversy.  I don't know how much of this is just the Brit press trying to stir tabloid-y shit up as they are wont to do and how much this is legit, but this is a stretch.

Some church in Georgia is trying to get people to join their congregation by offering up free raffle tickets for a $500 gas card if they attend some revival.  This Catholic Yankee wouldn't go to a revival for anything less than chance at seven figures, he prefers his mass on the quietly reverent side.  And no, that isn't a knock on those that do.  I just find much of the evangelical style too much, unless its a televangelist on TBN, then its fucking hilarious.  Might explain part of my strong dislike of Huckabee. 

Still, when you're trying to get people in the door with gimmicks like this, you've got problems.  Shouldn't the church community, worship and good works be enough?

There aren't any of them here in PA, but if I'm in the Midwest, I won't be buying gas or anything else at Super America.  A Super America employee fought off a robber who was beating a female co-worker, and he was fired for his efforts.  No good deed goes unpunished, I guess.  Unfortunately for this guy, he can't collect unemployment either.  Since Pizza Hut (and Yum! Foods by extension) and Super America won't let their employees defend themselves or other co-workers, I won't be doing any business with them.
