“She later married now deceased”
– Kaye Stevens | Singer and actress, 79 | Philadelphia Inquirer | 12/31/2011
Now deceased is redundant.
Man, it’s one thing to be a liberal critic of Obama, but Glenn Greenwald is ridiculous.

Greenwald’s argument seems to be that we should ignore the things we hate about Ron Paul because look at all the things to hate about Obama? So, my argument is that the things I hate about Ron Paul are so much worse than the things you hate about Obama, especially since those things are the product of actually being in power.

HELP! HELP ME TUMBLR SUPPORT!
This picture of my kitty “Foucat” reading Barthes won’t post! IT’S A FUCKING CRISIS. But I chose the other. And now I’m screwed.
I have sacrificed my use of Tumblr support. Also, I learned that Tumblr has support.

Remember when Woody Allen fucked his daughter and then a lot of people were like “Why is Mia Farrow adopting so many kids from poor countries? What’s wrong with her?”

This is one of the most egregious, irresponsible and dangerous pieces of reporting I’ve ever seen. The fact that they were beginning to broach the subject of organ donation has absolutely nothing to do with the story, let alone be the headline, and will only stoke the fears of those who believe in myths to convince themselves not to be an organ donor. Jesus, our media are so Orwellian they...
