Your Editor has received a number of e-mails asking why posts have dropped off the wayside. It is time, dear readers, to explain.
Life has fallen into a strange mix. Your Editor is currently a hobo— couch surfing across the vast reaches of this California reality. Money is tight, so the only way to keep this site going is through the motivation of the Donate Button to the right of this post. If I knew you, I could explain just how bad things have gotten, but that is all for naught. This site MUST CONTINUE, and will continue, but without the help of people like you your Editor will not only be homeless, but won’t be able to post anymore.

The Beast of Stupid continues her quest to find the center of the Oreo in an act of bravery unmatched since you woke up this morning to urinate. Yes— she is special. Let’s paste her “Facebook Note” from yesterday, October 13, 2009, in its entirety. AGAIN— chascates proves with his tips that 
Remember when, even if you were not alive yet, that the Pledge of Allegiance was a required daily activity in the school room? Yes, it was our patriotic duty to raise our hands to our hearts and spew out the only words a child can remember at 7:45 in the morning. Well— if you are a conservative by the same logic, 
It is very hard to be retarded, and as we have seen in the past, Norm Coleman is certainly that. But now he has a
