Because it’s a lifestyle they chose.

Penguins At German Zoo Stay Gay.
If a tornado ever hits this zoo, we know what the evangelicals will blame it on.
This is why I love science…
March 2nd, 2006 by Oskar Kennedy
… he said, with a sarcastic sneer.
I do love science, but science reporting sometimes drives me to drink until I can’t resist the urge strip naked, cover myself in maple syrup and start hurling profanity and small children at the Internet.
For instance, have you ever wondered why you sometimes jerk awake suddenly just as you’re about to drift off to sleep? I know I have. When I saw the lead to this story, I was compelled to read it, because it sounded like someone had come up with an explanation.
Nope. Not so much.
As it turns out, doctors and scientists are still absolutley clueless about the cause of this involuntary nocturnal spasm. The good news is, they’ve finally managed to name it. The phenomenon is now called “Sleep Start.” Which is good, because “Demons Possess Me When I Sleep” was factually and spiritually inaccurate, as well as a mouthful to say. Now that “Sleep Start” has standard nomenclature, I can go back to using the possession bit as the basis of an insanity plea, instead of wasting it on frivolous things like twitching myself out of bed once in awhile.
CNN.com: Late To The Party
June 26th, 2007 by Oskar Kennedy
CNN.com apparently just noticed that the author of The Secret is getting rich by preying on the fears and desires of the desperate, credulous masses. Seriously, CNN? I was griping about this back in March, and even then it wasn’t particularly breaking news. How are you just getting around to this now?
Links For Brains: 7/24/2008

- The Guardian’s Rose Shapiro ponders: “Could this be the moment when alternative medicine finally gets the reputation it deserves and is seen for what it is – a massive social and intellectual fraud?” (The answer is, of course not. AM believers aren’t about to let a little thing like “evidence” shake their faith.)
- If getting coffee is part of the job description, the fact that she’s a woman doesn’t mean that asking your secretary to get coffee is sexist. (Asking her to serve it topless is DEFINITELY sexist. Or the theme for a Maxim photospread. But I’m being redundant.)
- You can be legally married by clergy in Pennsylvania, as long as it’s the right kind of clergy. (God Bless America. No, not your god. My god. Duh.)
- The Child Online Protection Act is still unconstitutional. (Being elected to Congress means never having to say “The law we passed infringes on the constitutional rights of adults to view acts of consensual sex. Our bad.”)
