    Women Against Christine O'Donnell

    By Doctor Cleveland on Tue, 10/12/2010 - 4:03pm | Politics

    Monmouth University has a new poll on the Delaware Senate and Congressional races, and it's painful for the Republicans, especially for Senate nominee Christine O'Donnell. The top line: Chris Coons is leading O'Donnell 57% to 38%. O'Donnell has a grisly 58% disapproval rating with only 31% favorable, and Delaware voters consider her unqualified for the Senate by a margin of 57% to 35%. That's pretty painful.

    Stuff I Want to Learn: Sociology Edition

    By Orlando on Sun, 10/10/2010 - 9:49pm | Potpourri

    Yesterday, I went to the mall. This is not a new occurrence. I go to the mall almost every day. It is where the grocery store and the office supply store are, as well as the Starbucks and many, many restaurants. To get to the mall, I ride for about 10 minutes on a mini-bus, filled with people heading in my direction. Yesterday, the driver stopped on the way to fill up his tires. The compressor was owned by a guy who had set up a little business for himself on the side of the road. That’s also no big deal.

    THERE SHALL BE POOPY-EATING

    By William K. Wolfrum on Sun, 10/10/2010 - 10:09am | Personal

    I have two Boston Terriers – Max and Jack. For those of you that visit, Max is the surly, fat, smart one, while Jack is the happy, athletic idiot. Needless to say, we love them completely. Max and Jack have one driving passion in life, and of late, that passion has become a bit of a pain. You see, Max and Jack are poopy aficionados.

    Republican Candidate Dresses Up as Nazi

    By Michael Wolraich on Sat, 10/09/2010 - 7:21pm | Politics

    Shocker

    Incidentally, I posted the following video about a year ago (before the Daily Show's Nazi tourettes skit, which was far superior to my little creation of course).
