Here she is live at a free gig in Toronto. For some reason the music does not commence until the 10:10 mark. So it goes: Continue reading Sunday Morning Video: Rosanne Cash Live In 2013
That’s at the heart of this: The second concern, as expressed in the Journalarticle, is that “Critics fear genetically vetting embryos can be used to create so-called designer babies.” Ah yes, designer babies, the Frankenstein fear the media has been mongering for years. “If embryos can be selected to be free of harmful genes, they [the unnamed critics] argue, who is to say they will never be screened for particular genetic traits that parents might desire or want to avoid?” notes a 2009 article in the Telegraph. “Enter the ‘designer baby’ who is destined to be top of the class, … Continue reading Women Are Trivial Creatures

Living here is starting to look like a blockbuster awesome decision, despite the winter hellscape that was the past two months, because at least we aren’t assholes: Speaking of Alaska, when you factor in both categories, the three best states are Alaska, Colorado, and Illinois. As we’ve mentioned, Alaska’s tip % is the highest, and Illinois has the highest statewide percentage of people who tip (61.1%), possibly because they’re scared if they don’t tip, they might be forced to eat more deep-dish pizza. Colorado does well in both categories, and Denver has the highest average tip percentage of any city … Continue reading My State Tips

1985 was a rough year for me, but I did something crazy to mitigate the bad shit. I adopted three, count ’em three, kittens. The white ball of fluff who I named Q-Tip was still with his kitty mother when I found Charlie and Manet on the River Road in Baton Rouge. Like a fool I kept all three. I always feel bad that I have so few pictures of my pre-digital camera era cats, so I like to post some on occasion. Charlie is the ginger cat, and Manet the regal black beast sleeping on a chair with the … Continue reading Friday Catblogging: Three Kittens, 1985

In part one of a two-part broadcast report from Fond du Lac High School, the “officially approved” video story here outlines the main concerns associated with Cardinal Columns “Rape Joke” story. The principal, Jon Wiltzius, talks briefly about his thoughts pertaining to the new policy, getting the OK from rapists before running rape stories and how rights are rights but that doesn’t mean he wants you talking about them. On why the policy came into play: “There was clear belief that there needed to be or needs to be some level of guidlines developed for the building principal and superintendent … Continue reading Shorter Wiltzius: I don’t like stuff so stop writing about it

The English faculty members at Fond du Lac High School are getting into the act when it comes to the recent decision to censor the school’s newspaper, Cardinal Columns. Download Fond du Lac High School English Department Statement, the faculty is asking for the board to alter the new guidelines to help make the paper an open forum for public expression.

I’m not quite sure exactly when CNN went from being one of the best news organizations in the world to what it has become today. I know the downhill slide began with the Time-Warner-Turner merger. Whatever his faults, Ted Turner is a visionary and a natural born leader and when he lost the ultimate say so, things got shaky. The other big event in CNN’s lifespan was the advent of Fox News, which has had a pernicious impact on teevee news in general and not just because of their horrible politics. Fox also fixates on trivia and makes shit up. … Continue reading Malaka Of The Week: Don Lemon
