The Further Adventures of Miss Kitten

My curiosity having been piqued by President Obama becoming the latest recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, I turned to my beloved Wikipedia to find out how many other U.S. presidents have won this prestigious award. Jimmy Carter won it in 2002 for his diplomatic work, but only two other sitting presidents have won the [...]

You might have to be an English teacher to truly appreciate this one. In an attempt to transform soon-to-be former Alaska governor Sarah Palin’s incoherent mess of a speech into something resembling “publishable shape,” the editorial staff over at Vanity Fair Magazine subjected it to the red (not to mention green and blue) ink treatment:
Here’s [...]

Well, it’s all over folks. Both sides have stated their cases and the verdict is in. The biggest and baddest villains in the history of the world, otherwise known as the operators of The Pirate Bay, are guilty! GUILTY!! of the disgusting crime of being accessories to copyright infringement. Justice has prevailed! …uh, sort [...]

The seed of the abstinence-only until marriage “education” program was planted in the 1990s by former President Bill “I did not have sex with that woman” Clinton. It was fed and nurtured during the Bush Administration, despite the fact that every study conducted indicated that the program was a complete failure. Well over a billion [...]

Sorry, but I think I might have misheard you. It sounded like you said I’m supposed to totally abstain from sexual intercourse until I get married.  Oh, that is what you said.

Millions of Americans who watched Mr. Obama’s appearance on CBS’ “Sixty [...]

And to the media, you can now stop over-emphasizing fact that this is an “historic” election. Everyone understands that. It’s time to move onto the business of fixing the country. Barack Obama may be the first black president, but his race is incidental. The American people have spoken, and the fact that he won this [...]

It’s now seven years after the fact and I’m pretty much over it, but it’s worth remembering. I just wish we’d accomplished  more since then. Everything seems to have gotten a lot worse.

Back in December, in an effort to be less offensive to female soldiers and to women in general, the Swedish Army made the controversial decision to “castrate” the heraldic lion featured on its uniform badges. Many people from different countries around the world saw this move as ridiculous, unnecessary, and another example of PC [...]

I must have missed this story when it first came out over a month ago now.
I absolutely love it when shit like this happens: when the morally righteous get caught red-handed doing the morally reprehensible. A while ago it was revealed that Randall Tobias, one of the major proponents of the “abstinence-only” sex education program [...]
