Today’s OMFG: Military school celebrates Gay Pride

Amid the usual shock and horror of the daily news headlines, I found this little slice of awesome, which is definitely worthy of an OMFG: “At the beginning of the school year, gay pride events at a military academy with titles like “condom Olympics” and “queer prom” would have been unthinkable.

WTF Poll: Who offends you more, Rick Santorum or Mitt Romney?

Since it’s now clear that the GOP primary field has been narrowed down to two (with apologies to Newt and Ron Paul, both of whom must’ve missed that fat lady singin’ a while back, gawdblessem), I’ve been thinking about the last men standing.

Today’s FTW: Elbow, Shins and (more) Uteri

Yes, folks, it’s the body parts edition of FTW! I may end up making this a regular thing on Fridays, since I usually have a lot of other crap to do and am too lazy to think hard by the end of the week. So here’s what I thought was interesting and awesome this week: … Continue reading →

Today’s WTF: Jeb Bush just won’t go away

As a Floridian who lived through the gubernatorial reign of Jeb Bush, brother of our former president George Dubya Bush, I can honestly say I haven’t missed him since he left office. Unfortunately, one of the reasons I haven’t missed him is because he hasn’t given me much of a chance to miss him. In … Continue reading →
