While America circles the drain....

By A. Citizen on Fri, 11/27/2009 - 3:43pm

...politically, economically and socially it's truly good to know we haven't lost sight of the important things.

Digging up the high school biology course...

Skin, on its own devoid of melanin and blood is actually translucent. That said, I do agree that we should stop referring to things as "flesh-coloured." If not for racial sensitivity, could we at least agree that using the word "flesh" as an adverb will always be inaccurate?

The Clenis

The Mighty Member of the Big Dog, the elected Democrat allowed to take office until Obama: The Cl[inton P]enis. Who could begin to define a signifier of such humongous power? The Clenis™ is worth about $10 million per inch as measured by the Republicans investigating it.... And to hear the Republicans tell it, The Clenis™ is responsible for everything that's wrong with the country, then and now.... Watch them change the subject to The Clenis™ whenever they start losing an argument on the merits; it's fun, and educational! He don't need no stinkin' codpiece .... Originated by "Jennifer" of the Atrios comments section.
