So, it’s okay for Christian extremists to make lists about where you can find abortion clinic physicians’ homes and all of their personal information while these doctors are being assassinated left and right and clinics, not even, Planned Parenthoods, are being firebombed but we need to hold congressional hearings on Muslims because 19 self-described...

The girl had no legal access to abortion in Pennsylvania, where her parents must consent. This is the direct consequence of anti-choice zealots: taking away what dignity, respect, and alternatives left were left to a 13 year old who is being controlled, manipulated, and raped by someone more than twice her age. Way to go “pro-lifers”, what an awesome accomplishment:...

Indistinguishable From Magic: Top 10 WORST... →
dresdencodak:
Following my Top 10 Best superhero/villain redesigns, it seems only appropriate that we take a look at some of the absolute worst revamps, reboots and reimaginings around. This will be a much more perilous journey, and perhaps unsurprisingly, we’re going to talk about the 90’s. A lot.
Note:…
Really, this combines two of my favorite things to talk about: how the 90s were a...

So, I’ve been reading this fellow’s blog about, well, monarchy and it’s trappings, and it’s full of very pretty things. I realize that sounds mocking, but it really isn’t. There’s something about elegance, where you know it when you see it, and Western Aristocracy has it in spades. There’s a value to filling one’s life with things that are pretty and...

No one disputes that an on-duty Irvine police officer got an erection and ejaculated on a motorist during an early-morning traffic stop in Laguna Beach. The female driver reported it, DNA testing confirmed it and officer David Alex Park finally admitted it.
When the case went to trial, however, defense attorney Al Stokke argued that...
