Well if only these poor people would WORK HARDER, amirite Republicans? False moral superiority to those less fortunate makes me feel ALIVE!

One of my two majors in college was English with a concentration in creative writing. I wrote like a BAMF for four years (and the years prior that led me to choose it).
Now? Now, I can’t believe it’s been 2 years since I turned in my senior portfolio and I haven’t added much to my body of “work” since then.
I think I have an aversion to the serious —
which is...

"openly gay troops" a distraction?
Here’s my problem with people claiming that “openly gay troops might be a distraction.”
And it’s simple.
Gay service men and women will not take the repeal and suddenly start showing up in glittery boas or with t-shirts of their soft-ball playing girlfriend on it. Those are stereotypes that serve no one. These are regular people. No, these are extraordinary people because...
Where's my Pizza Hut book club now?
A few of my friends have started their New Year’s Resolutions early — read more.
Some of them are undertaking a book a week. A week!! For a now-graduated English major, I read slow as hell. I can get about a book a month.
I’ve been reading the “His Dark Materials” (better recognized as the Golden Compass series of books) trilogy for the past two months, and...

– Bill O’Reilly, that fucking asshole
By the way, the answer is NO. Someone find when Jesus said that he would only “help those who help themselves.” Oh wait. You can’t.
Dallas church launches GrinchAlert.com →
stfuconservatives:
The pastor who launched the site claims to have received 2,000 posts (doubtful, as there are only two pages of guilty businesses so far). Among the “naughty” so far are Delta Airlines:
Though I am a frequent flyer with Delta they did not mind offending me, a Christian, with an email stating “Happy Holidays From The Delta Family.”
and American Airlines:

“The Man Who Does Not Work, Does Not Eat.”
– From the back of one of my kid’s shirts. Engrish can be deep, man. While not incorrect, it’s Engrish because on the front there was a dump trunk, and there’s no way this 2nd grader was trying to make a philosophical statement that only I would read. Unless…

Obama signs child nutrition bill, championed by... →
I’m interested to see figures for what was cut from the Food Stamp program to help pay for this, but I am happy this passed.
It’s amazing what asinine, deeply ignorant comments this can draw out of people. When, at the end of the day, can’t one of the few things we agree on be the fact that we should take care of our nation’s children!?
