A pretty good question about Tim Tebow’s bible verse face paint. Excerpt from Rick Telander of the Chicago Sun-Times
NCAA Looks the Other Way How did Tebow’s college slogans get out there anyway? The NCAA rule book states that nothing but ”a player’s number; a player’s name; NCAA Football logo; memorial recognition; the American flag; or institution, conference or...

Disappointment is thy name
President Obama’s about to be on my bad side. Not because of his perceived weakness in the face of conservative/republican interests or whatever. Not because his poll numbers have taken a dive. Nope. The Prez is about to have me riding on Pennsylvania Avenue because of this:
Obama to Kentucky: Thank You
Um, yo Barry… I thought you were a TAR HEEL FAN!?!

Okay… I already knew the conservative/right/Christian news circuit was ridiculous (do these people even go to J-school?) but this piece is particularly funny to me.
The title itself made me go “arooh?” For a group of people purporting to save the Black race from an evil genocidal plot, they sure don’t know about racial sensitivity in journalism. Long story short, a...

Coca Cola invites college students to experience the happiness factory via “the happiness machine”. Go to buy a Coke and you might end up with ten, or a pizza, or a twenty foot sub. A superb ambient idea that amuses both those in the film and us watching it. Well done.
Awesome. I usually have to shake the machine just to get my $1.25 worth :/

Greatest pickup line? Or GREATEST pickup line?
You: Hey baby, can I buy you a drink?
Her: Sorry, I have a boyfriend.
You: Really? I have a goldfish.
Her: What?
You: Oh sorry, I thought we were talking about shit that doesn't matter.

Score One for Bacon & Eggs
This story is FTW for 3 main reasons: UNC, bacon and babies. According to a study by the University of North Carolina (Go TAR HEELS!), pregnant women who eat bacon and eggs could be improving the intelligence of their unborn child. You don’t say? I once heard that there were more pigs in North Carolina than people so I bet folks there have soft spot for swine down there. No reason to...

what do you look most forward to in your future? whether or not you know exactly what that thing will look like.
I look forward to finally feeling like some place is my home. I don’t feel like that now. I’m restless. Always looking for the next thing to do, the next place to be. I wanna sit still and be settled, but I don’t want to settle for just...

Nominate Planned Parenthood (@PPact) for a Shorty Award in the #health category… basically the People’s Choice Awards of Twitter.
Cuz I said so but also because they do great healthcare work in the community! Http://www.plannedparenthood.org http://www.plannedparenthoodaction.org

I've found a new religion
“It is the liberals who are slaves to a faith-based ‘secularist orthodoxy’ of feminism, multiculturalism, gay liberationism and lifestyle liberalism.”

That doesn’t sound too shabby at all. Me likey. Secularist Orthodoxy.

I cram to understand how attempts to amend the Constitution to limit marriage to heterosexual couples is not, in and of itself, unconstitutional. The idea of marriage being “the will of God” and for the good of man seems central to only a few religious beliefs. Marriage for many people is mostly or totally secular. For others who have religion-based unions, Christianity may or may not...
