You just know those things are going to start stacking any second. Somebody find Bailey, quick!

“Random murder of civilians in order to coerce political concessions doesn’t have a great track-record. But direct action terrorist violence against abortion providers has, I think, proven to be a fairly successful tactic. Every time you murder a doctor, you create a disincentive for other medical professionals to provide these services. What’s more, you create a need for...

My country was almost driven into the ground by a generation of frightened paranoiacs who had the idea that the only to live in the world was to subdue it.
If Brady’s generation doesn’t figure out another way of solving problems, then there probably isn’t going to be anything left worth fighting over.
Robert Earl Keen just had me laughing my ass off...
How tenuous our grip is on even those who are closest to us. Day to day we act as if we own these other creatures… “my” son, “my” girlfriend, “my” brother… when the reality is that what we actually share is the tiniest bit of overlapping existence.
It’s Sunday morning, and I’m sitting in the middle of what feels to me like a room full of artifacts. A pile of bent-up staples...
I was so hoping I wouldn't wind up home alone...
Placing a non-ironic post about the "Next Seth...

Please indulge me for a brief moment while I temporarily shed my normal costume of snark and mount my rhetorical high horse to make a statement that I am very tired of making, yet one that seems to be necessary once again.
Ahem.
Atlas Shrugged is a novel, and a tedious one at that. It is tortured fiction, and nothing more. It is not an effective societal blueprint for pouty...

What kind of coffee is it?
Right now I’m hooked on a Columbian Supremo from a local coffee house - Mill Mountain Coffee and Tea
Mill Mountain is a great place; I’ve been there a few times when in your neck of the woods…
Good coffee, but it’s those damn cookies that keep me coming back.
Well, that and the free wi-fi.
Suck it, Starbucks.

Only to come back downstairs twenty minutes later to find you forgot to plug in the damn coffee maker.
FUCK.

Here. Here’s a rock.
Fuck, I’m tired.
Even exhausted she posts interesting stuff.
Get some rest, young lady. Then come back tomorrow and tell us about this rock, if you will.
At the risk of being jumped on by people, I say...
indefensible:
Because when you employ this line of thinking, it invites comparison with other human behaviours that people are arguably born into, but that society has no compunction in regulating and banning. To put this in your opponents hands is to pitch them a wonderful slowball that they will smack out of the park by saying “nobody chooses to be a pedophile either.”
The argument in favour...
Quick Sherman, into the WABAC Machine!
@mayafish asked about the correct title for GCPOYT, and her question send me digging through @inthefade’s archives.

She designated it Gratuitous Childhood Picture of Yourself Thursday, which makes the term official enough for me.

One more of my mom because LOOK AT THAT FUCKING HAIR!
Some fun mom facts. She sings opera, teaches voice in the bel canto method, was co-valedictorian (with my dad, damn nerds), can read neumes and translate them into notes, writes Gregorian chant, does math in her head to beat the band, and reads a mean natal chart. And that’s just her brain. Her heart is even better. She has never...

If the top of the question mark represents a cat’s tail, we all know what the dot at the bottom must be.

This is worth repeating.

I’m hoping it works for photos, too.
