stolen honor.

Here’s something that ticks me off beyond reasonable levels:
Douchebags wearing military uniforms and medals they’ve never earned, pretending they did.
This is different from the Glenn Beck thing, where someone uses a uniform as a prop.  That was annoying, but not nearly as offensive as this particular case, because Glenn Beck never put on that uniform [...]

progressive, my ass.

When your home state hands out longer jail sentences for owning the wrong sort of sheet metal tube than for repeatedly molesting a young child, you have to start looking for a new name for your legal department, because “justice” it ain’t.

unbelievably tacky, yet unrefined.

Regardless of your political stance or beliefs, there are some things you simply Do Not Do, no matter how much you disagree with a political opponent:
You do not yell “YOU LIE” at the President of the United States in the middle of a speech to both houses of Congress.
That holds especially true when the man’s [...]

the saddest product slogan i’ve seen this year.

Well, I’m glad that’s settled.  I was getting tired of this hidden life of shame and self-loathing.

an exercise in shameless corpse-whoring.

In a brazen attempt to get a few more miles out of their dead steed, Jacko’s concert promoter and his family are in negotiations for a three-city tour of Michael Jackson memorabilia.
They’re not just milking the poor guy’s corpse, they’re juicing the hell out of it.  Why not go all the way and cart around [...]

do they even have a PR person left in philly?

So the Eagles signed that dog-killing scum Michael Vick.
I’m sure there was some sort of communications issue.  Maybe his agent was driving through a tunnel at the time.
“Philadelphia Eagles?  Aw, fuck.  I thought you said ‘Kill a pen full of beagles.’”
Here’s a new rule I proposed on Twitter a while back: any team that plays [...]

maybe she was looking for kitty porn.

In what has to be the decade’s most brazen attempt at denying culpability , a Florida man blames his cat for downloading the 1,000+ images of child porn found on his computer.
We all know about Sumdood (also known as Sumgai in some circles), but this has got to be the first recorded incident of someone [...]

a higher standard of conduct.

So this California police officer pulled over a female motorist for speeding, and then decided it would be a good idea to force her to perform oral sex on him under threat of lethal force.
Now, I’m lukewarm on capital punishment as it is applied and implemented in this country, because it’s unevenly and arbitrarily doled [...]

one last thing for today.

I won’t say much about the shooting of the abortion doctor yesterday, because that subject makes religious debate seem downright reasonable and pleasant by comparison, and I have no interest in kicking over that particular bucket of ill-tempered worms.
I will, however, say this:
A genuine apology doesn’t have a “but” in it.  When you say, “I’m [...]

target audience megafail.

Further proof that H-S Precision just Doesn’t Get It:
Stingray of Atomic Nerds gets a one-minute interview with the H-S Precision company reps at the NRA convention; almost gets punched in the teeth for his efforts.
To clarify: I wouldn’t do business with H-S Precision if it was the only way to keep a truckload of cocker [...]
