- War and politics in Afghanistan : The New Yorker
To be fair, a lot of Americans can barely refer to our own political leaders by name or know where Vermont is so at least they’re consistent.

Some recent songs (this damn thing is on the fritz yet again):
- Study: Options are key in sex education curriculum - washingtonpost.com
Really? It seems like there’s been plenty of evidence to determine them pretty goddamn ineffective if you ask me.

SONG OF THE DAY
Public Enemy
“A Letter To The New York Post”
from the 1991 album Apocalypse 91… The Enemy Strikes Black
Oh my god yes! As someone who can’t stand the noise made by automobile engine, I absolutely loved last night’s South Park episode that ridiculed the pricks who like to make loud engine sounds. One of my favorite things about electric and hybrid cars is that they’re so quiet. Anyway, here’s the episode in its entirety:

This episode reminded me of Chris Rock’s bit about the fag word that he did on his last tour and of George Carlin’s bit about Harley riders from 10 years ago:
Atlanta Named Most Toxic U.S. City, Las Vegas is Least Toxic - GreenBiz.com
Wow, Chicago is more polluted than Houston and L.A.? That would explain why I’ve had this third arm growing out of my ass slowly but surely for the last 3 months.
First Ladies of health: Obama, Clinton: The Swamp
That sounds like a much better way to pay off your student loan than the alternative of 20 years of debt.
Being married to someone who works at the same place Michelle Obama used to should bring more perks than it has. Maybe we’ll get invited to one of their backyard bbqs in the summer and Rahm Emanuel will tell me to fuck off.
Food Stamp Nation: How’s Your Recession Going?
And most of that food makes us sick and fat which leads to ridiculous health costs which puts you even further into debt and then you need more food stamps. It’s the circle of shit!
“ Son, no one gives a shit about all the things your cell phone does. You didn’t invent it, you just bought it. Anybody can do that.
For me this should be titled, “Shit that should be said to my dad.”

Despite the one-child policy, millions of Chinese citizens don't know how to have sex without getting pregnant. - By Michelle Tsai
They should get together with evangelical Christian teenagers - they have more in common than they realize. The Christian kids will have to explain to the Chinese how to feel guilty afterwards of course. Then they’ll have to follow that up with the idea of having a baby as a teenager is something you don’t really want.
