Today's signs that the Apocalypse may be upon us

Addicted To Caffeine? Here’s How To Wean Yourself. Nah…I can quit any time I want. I just don’t want to.

PETA to Launch Porn Site. Of course, it seems like the next logical step, no?

Japan: Areas around Fukushima, contaminated with nuclear fallout, may be off-limits “for several decades”. The good news is that the Japanese expect nuclear tourism to be HUGE.

Annoyed Travel Agents To Obama: We’re Not Obsolete. Uh…yeah. Go talk to my 8-track player or my Betamax, willya??

What Are Tea Partiers’ Most Defining Cultural Characteristics?. You mean besides idiocy, lunacy, imperviousness to reason, ignorance of science, inability to compromise, and the willingness to burn things down if they don’t get their way?

Improv Everywhere’s “Say Something Nice” megaphone. It’s an idea whose time has come.

Tom Friedman Continues to Give Cover to the Extremism of the Republican Party. Why is it so hard for the mainstream media to just call out the hypocrites and the extremists for the brain-dead zealots they are? Oh, right…because the corporations who own the media outlets are generally owned by wealthy and Conservative White males.

Dennis Kucinich compares pot activists to MLK and Gandhi at Hempfest. Well, it was Kucinich…and he was in Seattle, after all….

College Hottie VC Is a Horseman of the Tech Apocalypse. Hey, it’s nice work if you can get it.

DirecTV Sees Your Father’s Death As Sales Opportunity. It’s just another upselling opportunity.
