Den of the Biting Beaver has a horrific story of a woman trying to get emergency contraception: "it seems that there is no moral to the story other than morality clauses fucking suck. I'm off to smoke a carton of cigarettes and suck down more butter rum so stick that in your morality pipe and smoke it you dirty bastards".2006-09-22T17:08:20Z

USB batteries. They look cool, but I can't justify spending £13 on AA batteries since the only device I use that takes batteries takes AAA. (Via PopGadget)2006-09-22T10:35:25Z
The Daily Mail is frothing at the mouth. No change there then. Why exactly would raising the driving age for legal drivers prevent someone from joyriding without a licence, exactly?

Anti-drug ads: hypocritical, expensive, retarded and almost as totally ineffective as the War on Drugs that spawned these public information trainwrecks.

Don't rub it in, Doc. I want to be there, man. But I'm stuck in poxy Britain. 2006-09-22T09:24:26Z
First the sensible: "The overt partisan politicization of faith is obnoxious whatever side it's coming from, left or right. It's one thing to bring moral witness to the public square, rooted in faith. It's another thing to align - or detach - God with one party or one candidate."
Then the silly:"I would also think that this president especially needs our prayers. These are terribly trying times; and given his very limited abilities, he needs all the prayers we can send his way."
And finally, an amazing story coming from former Archbishop of Cantebury, Lord George Carey: "The fundamental problem for the West is not Islamic fundamentalism. It is Islam".
I also write for the Citizendium, an online encyclopedia project. If you know about stuff, you should join in. I occasionally produce audio recordings for The Pod Delusion.
