Christians should be slaves. Textbook fails to support that view. Panties are wadded.
by Randazza Dennis and Aimee Taylor got their panties all in a wad because their son had to read the book “Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America,” in his personal finance class at Bedford High School.” (New Hampshire) In the book, the author (Barbara Ehrenreich) recounts experiences she had while trying to make a living at minimum wage jobs all across America. She criticizes the current conditions in America, arguing that our economic system is unfair toward the poor. So who is that most likely to piss off? You guessed it… “christians”. Aimee Taylor is quoted as saying, “The author is a known social Marxist, hates everything American, everything that America stands for or was built on.
Joy to the world, and naked women
By Tatiana von Tauber As a boudoir photographer I see lots of women naked. Most clients fall into two groups: Those who look so hotter than they ever thought they could, or those who use boudoir photography to confirm they are as fat, cellulite-ish or unsexy as they feared (I’m an artist, not a Photoshop God). Too often I deal with clients’ self-body hatred and it’s come to a bothersome point — having befriended women whose bodies are scarred not for beauty but for self-preservation and basic survival. While producing The Art Cure project, a breast cancer awareness art show and charity event this October, I met a group of wonderful women who have battled breast cancer and won. The
“Feminism” In Iceland: Saving Women From Their Own Adulthood
By Dr. Marty Klein Iceland, the world’s oldest democracy, is now heading in exactly the opposite direction. And they’re doing it in a familiar way—by eliminating choices regarding sex. Iceland has now criminalized all strip clubs. And forget even something as quaint as a topless bar; the repression of the 1950s is looking positively progressive, as the law even makes it illegal for a business to profit from the nudity of employees. What makes this law particularly repulsive is the crowing of self-proclaimed “feminists” and “women’s advocates,” who seem unable to grasp the simple idea of adult choice. Member of Parliament Kolbrún Halldórsdóttir says, “It is not acceptable that women or people in general are a product to be sold.”
All that has worked since 9/11
Bruce Schneier writes: The truth is that exactly two things have made air travel safer since 9/11: reinforcing cockpit doors and convincing passengers they need to fight back. The TSA should continue to screen checked luggage. They should start screening airport workers. And then they should return airport security to pre-9/11 levels and let the rest of their budget be used for better purposes. Investigation and intelligence is how we’re going to prevent terrorism, on airplanes and elsewhere. It’s how we caught the liquid bombers. It’s how we found the Yemeni printer-cartridge bombs. And it’s our best chance at stopping the next serious plot. (source) Meanwhile, they have pedobear running the TSA.
TSA now run by Pedobear
by Randazza We really must be at the verge of tipping into Idiocracy. It was once believed that you could spot a pedophile just by looking at him. This theory is now proven scientific fact. Now I’m not saying that I have evidence that TSA Administrator John Pistole is a practicing pedophile, but he certainly has never publicly denied it. He has the pedo-pale skin, the pedo smile, and the pedo voice. I was thinking that it might just be a coincidence. And then… the TSA started feeling up children at the airport… saying it was making us “safe” from “the terrorists.” Ummm …. really? Baby bombs? And THEN… this comes out — that the TSA is now going to

WTF NJ?
The NRA reports that a guy just got 8 years in prison for having guns in locked cases, which he was transporting from one house to another, while moving. New Jersey’s restrictive gun laws provide an exception for just this situation, but the NRA claims that the judge refused to tell the jury that. (source) Update: Reason has a more fleshed out discussion of the case here.
Everything we know about life may change today
Nasa has apparently discovered a new life form – in a poisonous lake in California, no less. Wired explains: All life on Earth is made of six components: carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus and sulfur. Every being, from the smallest amoeba to the largest whale, shares the same life stream. Our DNA blocks are all the same. (source) But this little critter uses arsenic instead of sulfur phosphorous. If there can be an arsenic-based life form on earth, who knows what could be waiting for us out there…. pretty goddamned cool stuff if you ask me. Nasa is supposed to tell us more at 2 pm.
Bond… Julian Bond…
Faithful Readers: It is Wednesday Night here on the left coast and time to check in with the patrons of this fine blog. Although some might say it is too late to apologize for not checking in last week, our fearless leader held down the fort rather nicely. Most probably know the night before Thanksgiving is one of the busiest nights for DUI’s and since most people don’t have an attorney on speed dial they get to talk to my half-asleep ass at all hours of the morning. Lets move on to someone who’s life is a tiny bit more interesting right now than mine. Julian Assange creator of the Wikileaks.org whistle blower website proceeds to piss of several countries
The only reason that I never committed a terrorist act on a plane….
Is because I have no desire to. No interest whatsoever. You couldn’t pay me enough to do it, I have no political beliefs that would be advanced by it, and I sure as shit don’t believe in some magic super-douche who flies around in space waiting to give me 72 completely inexperienced women after I die. (Seriously… can you imagine how hellacious it would be to break in 72 virgins?). I wouldn’t even want to blow up a plane with nobody on it. Well, maybe if it was out on a gun range and I had the permission of the plane’s owner, yeah, okay, then it would be fun. And you know what? As a result, I betcha I could
More TSA Trash
A woman had the audacity to complain to the TSA that the screeners in Phoenix did not know their own procedures — which allow for alternative screening for medical liquids. Breast milk is classified as a “medical liquid.” The brave TSA agents, who make us all safe, saw her coming a week later. They made sure that she would miss her flight. They made sure that she was sorry that she ever complained. The TSA is nothing but a bunch of uneducated shitbags who couldn’t hold a job at 7-11. That goes from the head on down to the fat fuck in this video. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/v/2XhnZlmLGK8] Is this freedom? Remember all that shit they told you in school about “land of
Jesus is a dick, Bills fans and poor people already know this
The media is all aflutter over Buffalo Bills receiver, Steve Johnson, who dropped a game-winning pass, and then used Twitter to blame the Magic Space Zombie Jew. Mr. Johnson, I agree. The thing is, Jesus is a dick. The ungrateful fuck just flies around in space, demanding that we bow down and kiss his ass, and meanwhile, what does he do for everyone who worships him? Well, let’s take a look at the most religious places on Earth…. Haiti? The Philippines? Mississippi? It is as if a massive divine shit bomb landed on all of those places. Meanwhile, the strongholds of atheism like Norway, Vermont, and Canada? Yeah, that’s what I thought… the thing is, when Jesus hears you acting
Homeland Security now seizing domain names
By J. DeVoy ICE appears to be targeting sites that help Internet users download copyrighted music, as well as sites that sell bootleg goods, such as fake designer handbags. The sites are replaced with a note from the government: “This domain named has been seized by ICE, Homeland Security Investigations.” (source.) Upon trying to access 51607.com, one of the affected domains, one is treated to this: On one hand, this is good for antipiracy efforts, but where do the criminal penalties go? While content producers may be grateful for the seizure of a particularly egregious pirate, more will step forward to take its place, and shutting down one site doesn’t put money in the producers’ pocket for past infringement like
Anonymous, we respectfully dissent (A defense of Porn's Antipiracy push)
By Randazza & DeVoy Over the years, we’ve been keenly aware of the *Chan websites’ user base and their exploits. From 4Chan, 7Chan, 7-11Chan, 420Chan and especially /b/ and /i/, we’ve laughed and cheered as a teeming mass of faceless internet users upended society. They’ve collectively brought animal torturers to justice; rigged the voting on Dancing with the Stars; exploited the voting mechanism for Time’s Person of the Year so they could elect 4Chan’s creator, Chris Poole, as the winner; attempted to send Justin Bieber to perform a concert in North Korea; confronted and embarrassed the Church of Scientology; created the entire lolcats genre; gave us memegenerator; bombed Youtube with porn; and generally been the cyber police’s most wanted.

Maybe it was the Jesus, and not the Dope?
The Hunterdon County (NJ) Democrat had a headline that read: Marijuana-crazed teen runs from Clinton Twp. home in pajamas, barefoot, prompting widespread search, police report The boy’s parents told Patrolman Sean Ross that the boy had been at home with a group of friends when he suddenly burst into their bedroom proclaiming “Jesus is our savior” and other related comments, police said. When the teen’s father tried to grab him, he ran from the house, leaving his friends upstairs, according to police. After the friends were taken home by their parents, his father contacted them and found his son had become agitated and uncontrollable after smoking marijuana with them. The boy has no history of such behavior, police said. (source)
Aaaaahhh…. shadaaaap! And a plan to reform the student loan system
Student loans suck. I’m not going to bother going through all the reasons they suck, as plenty of people have done that before me. I just paid mine off, because I despised paying that crack whore, Sallie Mae, every month. Nevertheless, I just want to slap some people when they whine about their student loans. Kelli Space, age 23, for example, should get a taste of the back of someone’s hand. Kelli owes about $200,000 in student loans. She borrowed that much money to get a bachelor’s degree from Northeastern University. Now that she realizes that she is lifepwned, she launched a begging site trying to raise money to offset her debt. (here). Gawker wrote about it here. Kelli wrote
Cry Me A Fucking River, You Lowlife
It seems that the morale at the TSA is falling, because the poor dipshits in blue polyester don’t like it when we call them nasty names. (source) I’d say that if morale is crashing at the TSA because the American people are finally waking up and finally refusing to go quietly into the Constitutional limbo that the power hungry hall monitors want them to … well then maybe there is hope for us after all. If you’re flying, remember to be a douche to the TSA. And remember to do so if you’re not flying too. Don’t give me that “they’re just doing their jobs” bullshit. At some point, you say “no,” I will not. They have a goddamned union.
Subcultures that make no sense
By J. DeVoy For example, the hipsters seen in this video. (Be cautious depending on your employer.) It’s just YouTube, so why am I not linking to it? It’s not particularly work safe, and there’s an open 18 U.S.C. § 2257 question about the appropriate documentation for this work, whose protagonist starts masturbating in front of a crowd of identical-looking nonconformists. (I didn’t see the requisite disclosures under 28 C.F.R. § 75.1 et seq, either, though I understand that ensuring compliance with the law isn’t all that hip.) Yes, we’d probably be a “distributor” within the scope of the statute and its regulations, but why assume any potential risk when we can push it upstream to YouTube and Google? I
