Den of the Biting Beaver has a horrific story of a woman trying to get emergency contraception: "it seems that there is no moral to the story other than morality clauses fucking suck. I'm off to smoke a carton of cigarettes and suck down more butter rum so stick that in your morality pipe and smoke it you dirty bastards". ![]()
Valleywag: "MySpace users need more explanatory labels than an Alzheimer's patient learning Japanese". ![]()

Then the silly:"I would also think that this president especially needs our prayers. These are terribly trying times; and given his very limited abilities, he needs all the prayers we can send his way."
And finally, an amazing story coming from former Archbishop of Cantebury, Lord George Carey: "The fundamental problem for the West is not Islamic fundamentalism. It is Islam".
