Today's signs that the Apocalypse may be upon us

Pepper Spray, Tasers, and LRADs — What’s Behind the Explosion of ‘Less Lethal’ Weapons for Crowd Control?. In a society that’s become inured to war, it stands to reason that our police would become more militarized while we mutely acquiesce.

What Really Killed Herman Cain’s Campaign. 1) Ego. 2) An inability to keep his pants zipped. Isn’t that enough?

Larry King to be Cryogenically Frozen. Hmm…didn’t that happen, like, 15 years ago??

Why Are Holocaust Deniers, Ku Klux Klan Members, and Neo-Nazis All Moving to One Small Town in Montana?. Uh…for the donuts??

Wayne Gretzky’s Daughter Makes Triumphant, Pantsless Return To Twitter. And all of Canada is aflame with indignation…or something like that.

Mormon College Objects to Skinny Jeans. Magic underwear is evidently still acceptable attire.

The Big East Apparently Plans To Save Itself By Having Members In All 50 States. When you have member schools in three states west of the Mississippi River, can you reasonably claim to be the “Big East Conference”? East of what? Honolulu?

Republicans Watch The Worst Shows on TV. What else could you expect from a segment of the population that thinks Fox Noise Channel is actually a news outlet?

Michigan’s Cherry Knoll Elementary School Under Fire For Removing ‘Gay’ From ‘Deck The Halls’. Rick Santorum and Michele Bachmann are falling all over themselves in righteous indignation. Whatever….

This Raised Arm Drew A Celebration Penalty And Cost A High School Team The Championship. Really? Have we lost our collective grip on reality? Banning excessive celebration is one thing. Banning any and ALL celebration is asinine. They’re kids; how about letting them act like it?

Who’s Winning the War on Abortion, Birth Control, and Sex?. The Far Right…because they’re in it for the long haul, and they have to patience to stick with it.

Occupy Wall Street Is Occupying Foreclosed Homes. So much for being a motley collection of unwashed Liberal hippie pinheads, eh?

The Hockey Jersey Dress Is The Perfect Holiday Gift For A Future Ex-Girlfriend. If you’re wanting to prove your bona fides as a clueless male, you couldn’t do much better than this.

‘Smoking Can Make Your Nipples Fall Off’. Which is exactly why I don’t smoke.

Hazmat Suits to Break Up Occupations? How Mayors Feign Concern for Health to Trash a Growing Movement. It’s all about mayors coordinating their efforts so they can maintain at least the appearance of being in control.
