The Brainless Chicken

Here’s a sequel to the shmeat post from the other day. Evidently scientists are developing chickens without brains so when they’re grown for food, they’ll be entirely clueless about what’s happening to them. I have no idea how to feel … Continue reading

Newt Gingrich is a Cartoon Man

His latest blast of nonsense: “You can’t put a gun rack in a Volt.” Nine words. Piles of self-satirical awfulness. It’s almost like saying, “You can’t run over hippies and OWS protesters in a Prius, so why bother.” Share

Here We Go Again
