Journalists, when you’re writing largish numbers (that would be numbers with more than four digits), would you *PUHLEEZ* put the fucking commas in? I can’t tell the difference between 300000 and 3000000 or even 30000000. Come on, how hard would it be to put in a comma every three digits?
Didn’t your teachers ever tell you about that stuff?
The media are all atwitter over a comment made by our Vice President. According to one source, Biden told Obama that the Health Care Reform Act was a “Big [Expletive] Deal”. Another source reported that Biden “dropped the F-bomb”. Using my superior powers of analysis and deduction, I conclude that Mr. Biden said, “This is a big fucking deal”.
To which I say, “big fucking deal”. People swear. Even vice presidents swear. Hell, our President probably swears while he’s out behind the White House sneaking a smoke.
James A. Ray, whose catastrophic sweat lodge ritual killed three people on October 8 of last year, has been indicted for manslaughter. This might actually be a good thing.

The number zero is an annoying and dangerous beast. It should be abolished.

He has no regrets at having murdered Dr. Tiller, since the doctor was killing unborn children. Roeder felt he had to take action to save the lives of other unborn children.
According to Mr. Roeder, abortion is wrong. He feels that in the event of the mother’s life being seriously threatened by the fetus, an abortion might possibly be justified. Otherwise, not. Even in the cases of incest or rape, abortion would not be justified. As Mr. Roeder said (as quoted by CNN), “It isn’t our duty to take life, it’s our heavenly father’s.”
Mr. Roeder felt so strongly about this – that it’s wrong to take a life – that he put a gun to Dr. Tiller’s head and blew his brains out in a church.
Telegraph.co.uk published an article that discusses how NATO is going to pay the Taliban millions of dollars for some reason. The logic behind this move has so far eluded my feeble grasp. Call me crazy, but I thought that when you’re having a war with someone, you weren’t supposed to give them millions of dollars.

Steps To Prevent Foreclosure
