Primary fever hits NC on the last day of early voting [Politics Suck]

I, like apparently many others, figured that on this last day of early voting for the NC primaries, I should get off my butt and go vote with the hopes that the lines would be shorter for early voting than on primary day. Oh was I wrong, how very very wrong.

Who’s behind the GOP? I don’t know… could it be… SATAN?! [Politics Suck]

Something isn’t quite right about the GOP’s logo.  Maybe it’s the elephant.  No, that’s not it.  Maybe it’s the downward pointing stars that grace the elephant’s flank.  Yeah, maybe that’s it.  For the party associated with good, upstanding Christian values and witch hunts against fake Satanists, you’d think that by now someone– someone in the […]

Super Tuesday 2: Electric Boogaloo [Politics Suck]

So today’s the day… Super Tuesday 2… the moment when we were to know whether Clinton’s campaign would be over or whether we would have to put up with 6 more weeks of winter. Well, with a win in Ohio and barely a win in the TX primaries, it looks like we’re going to […]

Where does your outlook of the future fit into your brand of Sci-fi? [I Heart Tech]

When you think about the future, do you see a bright, shiny world that’s free of disease, war and poverty or do you see a barren, smoldering landscape with scattered humans trying desperately to survive? Are you a pessimist or an optimist, a realist or a pragmatist? Out there somewhere is a futuristic world […]

Nanotech versus God [I Heart Tech]

Could a Diamond Age-like nanotech future be thwarted, at least in the United States by religious conservatives?  Why in the world would someone find nanotech a slight against their religion?  But according to a recent study, only 29.4% of Americans find nanotechnology “morally acceptable”, claiming that it is Man attempting to play God.Compare that to […]

You can pry my double spacing from my cold dead hands [The More You Know]

Apparently… since 1999, it’s been correct to only use one space after a sentence period break, not two. However, unless there’s some specific reason to have even spacing between all characters, I still think that the double space looks much nicer and gives you some visual breathing space between sentences. The idea is […]

Living in the Shadow of a Killer [Editorial]

Last week, 29 year old Duke grad student Abhijit Mahato was murdered during a robbery. Murder is always a tragedy of the highest order, and people who even knew the victim slightly will always say things like “Oh, I just saw him yesterday… he was such a good guy, how could this happen?” and […]

From the grave, Benazir Bhutto tells the world that bin Laden has been murdered. Wait, what?

This has been covered frantically in the blogosphere since Bhutto’s assassination but not really covered in the mainstream media– Benazir Bhutto nonchalantly mentioning the men who killed bin Laden and the answer is not the US. So there are several points this brings up…

Ah, Christmas. The season to ruin perfectly good porn shoots with stupid Santa hats (SFW-ish no nudity)

The presents are under the tree, the eggnog is quickly disappearing… it’s the season of giving. And apparently it’s also the season for porn companies to completely ruin otherwise hot photoshoots by putting hot girls in stupid Santa hats.

Last last last minute holiday shopping

What day is it? Holy hell, it’s December 22nd so that means there’s only one or two shopping days left to show your loved ones or barely-acquainted-ones that you haven’t forgotten about them all year up until this point? Shopping on the Internet is out, since you were too lazy to think about it […]
