  • Hey everybody! Let's meet over at the aesthetically revolting Opus strip!

    Is the unlovable old curmudgeon here? Check.

    Is the halfwit pretending to be a hash-eatin' beat poet here? Double-check!

    How about those cowardly anonymi? Are they here?

    Check and double-check!

    Let's go!!

  • 90% of these letters on Salon

    Are dipshits fresh out the 11th grade telling someone else to go fuck off and/or some sneering retard screaming at someone else to 'prove' something to them. Every day I come to Salon it reinforces my belief that the sooner some massive comet smashes into earth and wipes everything out, the better.

  • There's now some science behind what we intuitively know about dogs.

    Stephen Budiansky has written an excellent book about the genealogy and behavior of dogs:

    http://www.amazon.com/Truth-about-Dogs-Ancestry-Conventions/dp/014100228X

    It was excerpted as an article in the July 1999 issue of Atlantic Monthly and title "Why Your Dog Pretends to Like You".

    The introductory paragraph reads (in part):

    "...what is it in human psychology that makes us believe dogs are loyal, trustworthy, selfless, loving, courageous, noble and obedient(?)...Dogs take from the rich, they take from the poor, and they keep it all...they commit outrages against our property too varied and unspeakable to name...They decide when we may go to bed...and when we must rise....where we go on vacation and for how long...whom we may invite over to dinner...and how we should decorate....If we had roommates that behaved like this, we'd be calling a lawyer, or the police".
