If you eat meat, neither of these people will have sex with you.
They call themselves Vegansexuals, because they wouldn’t want to call themselves something ridiculous, and think they’re making a point by refusing to have sex with carnivores.
Can you think of a better reason to order a thick, juicy steak?
The woman is the one on [...]

The cops tell him to pull over. He swears at them and cranks it up to it’s maximum speed: 8 MPH.
The punch line: He got away!

Yesterday the department of agriculture put their hands in the pockets of their overalls, looked rather sheepishly at the ground and kicked a clump of sod. Then they admitted they’ve paid over a billion dollars in subsidies to farmers who were, well, dead. The result is my second favorite quote of the year:

No, that is not a misprint. Congress is trying to implement a tax increase that will be 20,000% in some cases.
State, federal, and even city governments have been screwing cigarette smokers for decades. In some cases those taxes are over 800%. (The Boston Tea Party was a protest against a 4% tax.) [...]

You’ve probably seen the commercial for Live Free or Die Hard. It shows a car spinning through the air toward Bruce, who ducks between two other cars while it smashes down just inches from his head. This is followed by a shot of another car flying through the air and smashing into a [...]

Most medical journals have eagerly swallowed the junk science and outright lies of the anti-smoker crowd. This makes it nearly impossible for the opposition to be heard. One exception is the American Council on Science and Health.
Michael McFadden and Dave Kuneman authored a very comprehensive study that shows the conclusions of the [...]

I warned about this more than seven years ago. The only surprise is that it took this long.
Susan McBride, a whiny bitch from Detroit, is suing her employer because people wear scents to work. She imagines this violates her rights under the Americans With Disabilities Act. She wants all her co-workers to [...]

“When correctly viewed
Everything is lewd”

The City of Keizer, Oregon, put up cement posts to protect pedestrians from traffic. But some residents are complaining that they look like. . . boys things.
The solution – they’re going to fit them with collars and connect them with chains. No, that won’t [...]

There is something almost magical about the social aspects of Cigars and Pipes. The simple act of lighting one changes your demeanor, relaxes you, and makes you more willing, hell, more able, to consider other points of view. Conversations among cigar and pipe smokers are different and better then [...]

America no longer exists, but the United States is still a pretty cool place, so the Fourth is still worth celebrating.
Big fireworks displays are great fun, but they’re still a passive experience, and Lee Greenwood sucks. So be sure to blow off some of your own fireworks. Make some noise. Blow stuff [...]

There is much to despise in Michael Moore’s “Sicko.” Like all MM films it features a plethora of half truths and misleading numbers, a few outright lies, and it completely ignores many very important facts. Sometime in the next few days I’ll have an extensive review of it, along with a podcast. But [...]
