Bullet Points That Will Kill You

[boink] - Where is the data that proves gay marriage erodes the viability of American culture and values? And which is a higher American value that should trump the other; that people of the same sex can't fool around in the bedroom or that everyone has equal protection under the law?

[boink] - Dear North Korea. Dude... no one is going to attack you. You're not sitting on a vast pool of some untapped, massive resource that big multinational companies are conspiring to steal from you. Geographically you are strategically insignificant. You're of no economic value anybody can think of. No one wants to take you over. Nobody cares if your Fearless Leader or Mr Big or whoever he is wants to keel Moose and Squirrel. Nobody cares if Korea is ever unified again. Everyone has moved on from 19fuckin53. Nobody cares what you think. Nobody wants to bother you. What the hell is your problem??

[boink] - Jon and Kate plus 8 - We care because....?

[boink] - By the way did you notice that Tom Cruise still can't fly? And on a related note I've been reminded that the fraud trial has begun in France. See? I KNEW it was wrong to stop calling them French Fries. FRENCH fries! FRENCH fries! Vive l'France!

[boink] - Once upon a time the general worldview of the American Conservatism was marked by a belief in less bureaucracy, a non-interventionist foreign policy, and keeping the intrusion of government into your personal life as checked as possible. I was on board! But then American Conservatism came under the control of the "neocons" where an intrusive bureaucracy that served Wilsonian interventionism and nation-building became acceptable, and all the other stuff was supported by the Christian Right - which wanted to uncompromisingly impinge government into your personal life - I complained! I said that "traditional conservative values" were being trampled on. I recall I was asked where I got off thinking I was the true arbiter of what does and does not constitute "real conservatism" and was labeled a dreaming, unrealistic, immoral isolationist. NOW the conservative movement in America struggles to find its footing again and none of them can agree on what "conservatism" means any more. Humph. The most prominent thinking, currently, amongst them is that they have to get back to the place where they were "true to traditional conservative values." But whose? Because apparently no one can decide who is the arbiter of what does and does not constitute "real conservatism". To usurp someone else's observation from an earlier time - if Conservatism fails it's epitaph should merely read "died of a theory."

[boink] - Does vodka go good with Jones Soda's Fufu Berry? Fufu Berry is actually pretty good. I like Fufu Berry lots! You got a problem with that?
