Just in time for Christmas, the British Medical Journal is featuring an article blaming Santa for obesity, speeding, drunk driving, extreme sports, smoking and reckless behavior.
Dr Nathan “Grinch” Grills wants to rework Santa into a politically correct image, right down to wearing a helmet and seat belt.
Using a variation of the nannies second favorite chant [...]

The Pew Research Center just released a survey about the public perception of media bias. Before reading the rest of this article, check out the results and rate your own reaction. How many times did you say “What The Fuck?”
First we have to ask if the survey itself is biased. If it had been done [...]

This week we’ve seen some fine examples of media bias in action.
The left wing insists that liberal bias in the mainstream media is a myth, cooked up by those horrible people at Fox. The right wing insists that Fox is as fair and balanced as talk radio. Both opinions are idiotic.
Bias, like pornography, can be [...]

A couple of weeks ago I noted a new tactic from Obamacare fans: writing off the arguments against it, and the people making those arguments, as stupid. The Sunday Times Union, known to locals as the Times Useless, featured an article berating questions about socialized medicine (of course he didn’t call it that) as dumb [...]

“Nobody’s Business” is one of the few blogs I read regularly. We’re on similar wavelengths – often covering the same stories. I just checked it and found he did a bit on the rather obscure news story about Liz Becton the day after I did. I bookmarked a story about non-pointy knives in Brittan, to [...]

Several people sent me this article by Michael Moore. Once again he proves that he’s not just a genus, he’s a Super Genius, on a par with Wile E. Coyote.
He starts out expressing nearly orgasmic joy at the failure of GM. He pretends he’s not really all that happy, but we can practically hear his [...]

Math Tests Through the Decades, Copied verbatim from Chicken Hammer:
1950s — A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is 4/5 of the price. What is his profit ?
1960s — A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is 4/5 of the price, or [...]

Although Ms Dumbass’s opinion is ignorant, all the controversy around this is a good example of the left getting way out of line with Custom Manufactured Outrage. First they create the monster. Then the faithful grab pitchforks to storm the castle, inspired by their own smug righteous indignation.
The whole thing was a setup from the [...]

Morewatch is one of the most popular anti-Moore sites on the net. A few years ago the wife of one of the guys who runs it got very sick, and didn’t have insurance. They announced they were going to have to shut it down. But then an anonymous check arrived for $12,000, allowing the proprietor [...]

One reason Global Warming, er, sorry, Climate Change, doesn’t have me wetting myself in fear is I’ve lived through too many other End Of The World As We Know It predictions. These are a few of the EOTWAWKI predictions I recall in my lifetime:
The Cold War – the most real and likely end of the [...]

It’s not surprising that areas that don’t get snow very often are paralyzed when a snowstorm hits. You can’t fault the DPW in Tennessee for not having the equipment or experience necessary to handle a once in a decade snowstorm.
But places that do experience snowfall on a regular basis should be expected to have [...]

When people say “It’s a free country,” I always ask where they live, because it sure isn’t the US.
I’m old enough to remember when the United States was a fairly free country, but these days just keeping track of all the assaults on our freedoms and civil rights is a full time job. And [...]

Sherry Jones is another victim of Islam’s attack on free speech. Her book, The Jewel of Media, tells the story of Aisha, he child bride of the pedophile profit Mohamed.
The attack didn’t come directly from Muslim terrorists this time, but from a gutless University of Texas professor who saw the proofs declared [...]

Chomsky has penned yet another analysis of the world situation, and as always, he betrays a deep ignorance of just about everything. Before continuing, please read it here.
Back so soon? Let’s review.
He’s upset that India isn’t getting the same flack as Iran over their nuclear program. Somehow, in all his study of geopolitics, he managed [...]

Muslims are taking time out from murdering their daughters and raping women for reading the bible to attack one of our most cherished principles: Free Speech.
In 2006 Mark Steyn published an article pointing out that while civilized people are breeding at less than the replacement rate, fundy Muslims are breeding like hamsters. His conclusion: [...]

The idea of letting your kids run around the neighborhood and be kids has fallen out of fashion. Parents are expected to helicopter over their larvae every waking minute. They’re expected to have them participate in games where no one keeps score and everyone gets a trophy.
Those kids are now coming [...]

Ahhhhhnold has been a pretty decent govinator, but a few days ago he stepped into the nanny role when he singed a bill that makes it illegal to sell prepared food that contains trans fat.
Trans-fat is, of course, The Next Big Scary Thing That Will Kill Us All. And while warning people about it, [...]

Keith John Sampson, a communication-studies senior at Purdue who supplements his income by working there as a janitor, was reading a history book (which is also in the school’s library) during a break. “Notre Dame vs. the Klan” details the story of how Notre Dame students physically attacked the KKK and literally ran them [...]

A run of the mill county commissioners meeting in Texas became a perfect example of idiots who are yearning to be offended at every opportunity.
Commissioner Keneth Mayfiled, who is white, said “It sounds like Central Collections has become a black hole.” This prompted Wiley Price, who is black, to demand an apology [...]

When I was in high school, one Monday the morning announcements told us that one of the students had died over the weekend. She was an underclassman, a special ed kid. No one in my classes knew her, but it was still stunning news. It was wrong, it was creepy, it was scary – kids [...]
