Damn this Boobquake! It has sucked all attention across the Internet to Jen, leaving none for anyone else. What else could explain the lack of comments I’ve been getting these past few days …?

Also, congrats to Jen for her exploding Internet celebrity status and all that. *grumble*

• Looking at all these teabagger signs, you really gotta wonder how, when and where all these little “protests” keep taking place.

• Jailed terrorist Scott Roeder, murderer of late-term abortion provider Dr. George Tiller, decides he doesn’t like jail or being called a terrorist. Too bad, you rotter.

• Is legalizing abortion the road to cutting down on crime? Studies suggest that legalized abortion may be responsible for up to 50% of a recent drop in crime levels ^[PDF].

• This sounds like one awesome high school. Also, almost makes me wish afterlife existed so that this kid (and the others mentioned) would get compensated for being short-changed like that. Jesus.

• Tell us again how Jon Stewart’s audience is comprised of unsophisticated and ignorant little hippies.

• The South Park boys on Comedy Central’s censoring of their oh-so-controversial episode of late. In short: they no happy.

• Also, from the above Fark link: that Weaver guy (fifth post down) is FTW.
