Where's the beef?
Not in fast food burgers, apparently. According to this study, fast food burgers are more water than meat.
Buy Prather!
Americans consume about 5 billion hamburgers a year. It is presumed that most hamburgers are composed primarily of meat. The purpose of this study is to assess the content of 8 fast food hamburger brands using histologic methods. Eight different brands of hamburgers were evaluated for water content by weight and microscopically for recognizable tissue types.
[...]
Water content by weight ranged from 37.7% to 62.4% (mean, 49%). Meat content in the hamburgers ranged from 2.1% to 14.8% (median, 12.1%). The cost per gram of hamburger ranged from $0.02 to $0.16 (median, $0.03) and did not correlate with meat content.

Butts suck!
Nearly every Sunday when I walk my neighborhood to pick up trash, the things I collect more are cigarette butts. This pisses me off at my fellow humans more than anything. It's bad enough that we all litter our planet so horribly, but when the filth pigs leave their toxic waste in the streets, flicking it away as though the butts will just magically disappear in some nebulous void, what they're really doing is telling the world that they just don't give a damn about you or anyone else.
Thankfully, scientific research is out showing that cigarette butts are toxic, and hopefully will be classified as a toxic waste.
I like the policy in Singapore, towards all pollution, but especially gum and cigarettes. A few public canings might help with this problem.

Hooray for NPR
Good news for Public Radio!
In March of this year, National Public Radio (NPR) revealed that by the end of 2008, 23.6 million people were tuning into its broadcasts each week. In fact, NPR’s ratings have increased steadily since 2000, and they’ve managed to hold on to much of their 2008 election coverage listenership bump (with over 26 million people tuning in each week so far in 2009), unlike many of their mainstream media counterparts.

Words fail me.
I'm still beyond words. The closest I can come is tackling the argument over the disconnect between right-wing-nut domestic terrorists and the right-wing-nuts who abhor every other sort of terrorism, never equating the two by practical definition: terrorism is violence used as a tool for attaining political objectives.
These sick f-cks make me want to become violent, but I know better. Yet, I am still stuck right now. And I am incredibly angry, and at odds about how to vent.

Are there any legal definitions for abortion being murder?
No, there are not. At least not in America. Something to keep in mind as the debate gets heated up again.
What's the difference between right-wing nuts and jihadists?
There is no difference. They're terrorists, plain and simple. The definition of terrorist is someone who uses physical violence and a means to attain a political objective. That's what Scott Roeder is, that's what he became when he shot and killed George Tiller, the Ob-Gyn doctor in Kansas.
Here's the rub: Roeder will get a fair trial, in the US justice system, just like all the other terrorists we still have in custody. Of course, since Obama is still all for indefinite detentions, maybe we can ship off Roeder to Bagram, or just keep Gitmo open and start putting all the right-wing domestic terrorists there. I have a feeling we'll be seeing a lot more of these crazies in the coming months and years.
I wonder how long before we get our next McVeigh-type bombing.
