Sorry to resort to pictures, but it seems that an awful lot of anti-choicers have difficulty reading. Amazing how many of these unsentient adults there are in Mississippi Goddamn, and how many of them take seriously the notion that a just-fertilized egg is a fully formed human being, capable of everything already and yet still […]

Toronto Zoo’s gay penguins go viral
By now you’ve surely heard of Buddy and Pedro, the two adorable little African penguins at the Toronto Zoo who’ve struck up an adorable little same-sex pair bond but are being separated in order to mate their “top-notch genes” with those of eligible females? Well, their plight has gone viral, thanks to the famous Taiwanese […]
Continue readingStupid Sex Tricks: The ultimate stupid sex trick
Just file this one under “it’s all fun and games until someone breaks his penis”: A penile facture, or “broken penis,” is an injury that occurs to the erect penis. There are no bones in the penis; the “fracture” refers to tearing or laceration of a fibrous membrane called the tunica albuginea, which surrounds the […]
Continue readingAn icky, creepy (yet strangely apt) similarity
Separated at birth? On the left, “Dr.” Marcus Bachmann, spouse of a certain US Republican presidential aspirant, and professional homophobe who always sets my gaydar bleeping. On the right, John Wayne Gacy, psychopath, serial killer of young men and repressed homosexual. No respectable, accredited psychologist or psychiatrist would call homosexuality a disease, much less attempt […]
Continue readingWhat’s wrong with “crisis pregnancy” centres?
Well, for starters, there is NO SUCH THING as a “crisis” pregnancy. That word is utterly meaningless. And then there’s the fact that all this weasel-verbiage exists for a reason: to bamboozle unwary women (and girls!) into handing their decision-making powers to someone else…someone who is feeding them complete and utter bullshit: A survey of […]
Continue readingThe bald truth about Chavecito’s new look
Something’s missing in this picture of the president of Venezuela. But what? Oh, I know. It’s his hair! Like many a chemotherapy patient, Chavecito has opted for the quicker, tidier solution of simply buzzing it all off, rather than waiting for it to fall out in clumps (which can be a disconcerting experience even when […]
Continue readingWho’s afraid of the big bad wolf?
Ahem. Mood music, maestros: Thank you, fellas, that was…uh…lovely. Okay. Here goes. I saw this comment piece, by someone hilariously named Ally Fogg, in the Grauniad last night. It was an eye-roller, to say the least, full of blanket assertions and straw(wo)men, and depressingly light on facts, although a lot of whiny male commenters seemed […]
Continue readingThe Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test
A Canadian documentary that starts with the CIA’s failed, lame attempt to develop LSD as a truth serum/mind-control agent. Instead, it became the catalyst for thousands of old beatniks and young hippies, formerly staid scientists and political activists to all come together in a radical questioning of authority. Isn’t it funny how as soon as […]
Continue readingChavecito speaks
Uh oh. Looks like the bastards and spooks were right about one thing, after all. Chavecito DID have cancer… …and now, let’s hope his confidence is well founded, and that he doesn’t have it anymore. In which case my last post about him is, at least, correct in that respect. BTW, that “knee surgery” of […]
Continue readingStupid Sex Tricks: You’ve heard of road turtles…
…but have you ever heard of AIRPORT turtles? Love is in the air at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York. More than 150 turtles crossed over an active runway and disrupted air traffic on Wednesday so that they could continue their mating season. The diamondback terrapins were trying to get to an ideal […]
Continue readingIn which the “Chávez has cancer” rumor mill grinds to a halt, once and for all
You know something? When the president of Paraguay (above, at right) says something about Chavecito, I’m much more likely to believe him than the English-language whore media. Why? Well, for starters, he actually knows the man better than they do. And for another, he’s no media whore. Thirdly, he’s had cancer himself (and been cured […]
Continue readingDramatic turnaround in an Argentine adoption case
Marcela and Felipe Noble Herrera arrive to submit DNA samples in compliance with a judicial order. After 10 years of delays and legal wrangling, there will finally be an answer to the question: Are they children of the disappeared? The adoptive children of the owner of the Argentine daily newspaper, Clarín, presented themselves on Friday […]
