“What is the value of a human life?” — a question asked by a number of moral authorities from various religions to guilt us into the necessary simpatico frequently mustered from the bowels of our better virtues, right? We are, after all, under the precepts of the human condition, and in that a sense of obligation to the betterment of mankind and the future of the same binds us to a prerogative of doing good for the sake of good— not for the sake of some other self-serving cause.

Profit margins are simply fantastic things, and God created everything, so he/she/whatever it is must have created them, too. Just like God created murder! Right? “MURDER IS GOD’S WAY OF LOVING US!” Take it for what you will. If you disagree, you are probably laden with the color pink.

You know when you hear wingnuts talk about “the evils of socialized medicine” where abortions are performed during a tea break in the UK while you eat your crumpets laced with free methadone, or how President Obama is the modern day equivalent of Stalin because Stalin – like Hitler – were both Mexican-Kenyans with masterplans to enslave all God-fearin’ white folks? Point them
The world was shocked yesterday when footage was released of a woman apparently singing a song made famous by another woman. According to reports, the woman singing the other woman’s song sounded a bit like the other woman, but not much. Other reports said it was hard to tell, as Autotune was used so much it could have been anyone singing the other woman’s song, really. These facts didn’t stop grown men and women writing about this other woman singing the other woman’s song at great length.
Hello. I hope you had a
