Civilization, The Decline of Western
I promise that I have real-life capitalist credentials. I don't want to live in a country the economy of which relies on a string of independently-owned coffee houses. I went to Wal-Mart last night and will stop by again real soon to buy my little niece some Disney propaganda for her birthday.I...
A Great American Research University
The researchers at Ole Miss have yielded another important discovery: that sticky is getting ickier.The latest analysis from the University of Mississippi’s Potency Monitoring Project tracked the average amount of THC, the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana, in samples seized by law enforcement...

What'd you get for Christmas?
Oh, really? That's neat. Though, it's not as neat as this:Yep. That's a RSC cross-stitching. No, I don't routinely hang out with old ladies; I've just got some creative friends with interesting hobbies. To the young lady who put this together for me, thank you very much. It's on my nightstand so if...
