[High Praise! to Liberal Logic 101]

In Portland, Oregon, police managed to lure a suicidal man off a ledge by offering him a sandwich.
He didn’t really want the sandwich, but they told him he’d have to pay a fine if he didn’t take it.

Fair warning on the May link – although it DOES have penguins, it’s also got… well, I think he must’ve just dusted his blog, because some of it seemed to get in my eye toward the end of the post.

"hey, we caught Bin Laden" oh wow *looks around* where is he then? "oh um, we uhh.. threw him in the sea.. it was definitely him though"

Can you imagine if MacGyver wanted to kill himself no one would have been able to stop him.

People who write obsessively about politics don't care about you; they care about other people who write obsessively about politics.

Plus-Size-Modeling.com caused some controversy by posting a picture of a plus-sized, double-chinned Barbie doll on its Facebook page.
I don’t like this at all. It’s obviously just a ploy to soften us up for Hillary 2016.
The promotion of human rights cannot be about exhortation alone. At times, it must be coupled with painstaking diplomacy. I know that engagement with repressive regimes lacks the satisfying purity of indignation. But I also know that sanctions without outreach — condemnation without discussion — can carry forward only a crippling status quo. No repressive regime can move down a new path unless it has the choice of an open door.

“Like, for example, a door that opens into a uranium enrichment facility.”
Works like this: I feed you Moon Nukers a straight line, and you hit me with a punch line in the comments.
Why should you buy an internet-connected toothbrush?
Marriage is a very important institution to many people… which should’ve been an argument to keep the govt out of it as much as possible.
Having the government redefine marriage didn’t begin with gay marriage and it won’t end with it.
Scifi always seems to be predicting bigger, even more tightly packed cities but I think it’s going the opposite way.
I mean, really, who needs a big city anymore? We don’t need to live near each other; we have Amazon.com and can telecommute.
I’ll never understand why welfare ever evolved from anything more than just handing poor people a crust of bread.
Compromise: Pardon Snowden for telling us the NSA is spying on Americans. Execute him for revealing the NSA is spying on foreigners.

Planets die all the time. And if Earth isn’t going to be around forever, I’d rather spend our remaining time using my preferred light bulbs.

So what does “fighting income inequality” mean? You put a gun to the head of someone with more money and then take it?
And if I have a million dollars but someone else has a billion dollars, how sad should you be about my inequality?
Just a month ago Obama told Jay Carney, “If you like your clean-shaven face, you can keep it.”
One of the biggest travesties of the income tax is the idea someone’s income is anyone’s business other than his own.
The Old Spice ad was weird. I’m afraid I can’t devote any of my vast intellectual powers to analyzing it, though.
I love my fellow Americans, but I don’t want any of them to have even a fractional say over my own finances.
As for income inequality, I’d like people to have the income they deserve but I don’t think I could stand idly by while that many people starve.
I could have told you banning gun sales was unconstitutional and it only would have cost you $50.
We’re becoming a country of 300 million spoiled rich kids who have no idea where money comes from.
I don’t have to worry about cold weather here in warm sunny Idaho.
With the trajectory we’ve been on this century, it shouldn’t be long until the supervolcano erupts.
I’m guessing the unconstitutional part of Chicago’s banning of gun sales was where they banned gun sales.
The news says the Fed has been engaged in pro-growth policies since the beginning of the Great Recession. What evidence is there of that?
My man in State has done it again. He has managed to get his hands on the Vice President’s list of New Year Resolutions for 2014. This year he resolves to:
The cities of Los Angeles and Santa Monica in the last decade have approved more than a dozen construction projects on or near two well-known faults without requiring seismic studies to determine if the buildings could be destroyed in an earthquake.
Let me guess, the people who signed the approvals went on to design HealthCare.gov, didn’t they?
