Climb Ev'ry Mountain, Ford Every Stream

"I will call any interrogator that tortured me, a gook. I can't believe that anybody doesn't believe these interrogators and prison guards were cruel and sadistic people who deserve the worst appellations possible. Gook is the kindest appellation I can give."
-John McCain, February 17, 2000

What the fuck? Why would Senator McCain want to go around giving people mountains?

THIS HAS NOTHING AT ALL TO DO WITH NEBRASKA

Whether all those views reflect people watching until the end is hard to know, but some of their reactions are collected in comments on the site, ranging from thoughtful analyses to “THIS HAS NOTHING AT ALL TO DO WITH NEBRASKA.”

Chest compressions for CPR are best performed at the same rhythm as the beats in The Bee Gees' "Stayin' Alive."

if i accept that life is life and nothing is a big deal. shit happens and whatnot. not that i'm some sort of nihilist, but it's nothing but wasting time to dote over things.

so if i pass these values onto my child, is that irresponsible? would a child be better served if i passed on a different set of ideas.

for example, if my child accidentally killed her dog--an absolutely clear accident; there will be no serial killers in my household!--and i told her not worry about it. you're not in trouble. things like this happen.

that sounds cold. i would definitely emphasize that life is precious and should be preserved when you can, but no need to blame yourself or be down. i guess there is a risk of being misunderstood. the child may misinterpret this as an ok for anything. i don't know. fuck this.

Oh, you.

The United States of today and Britain of 1905 are certainly more different than they are similar.

Disappointment

“I wanted to make art that questioned our relationship with animals and the ethics and sustainability of factory farming,” Banksy said in a statement distributed by a publicist, “but it ended up as chicken nuggets singing.”

Turtles fucking. Yes!

Gender!

Although homosexuality is not allowed--to put it lightly--transgender individuals are recognized and are encouraged to undergo transformative surgery to find the true self. They even have programs that may pay half of your operation costs!

Their official gender is the primary concern, it seems. As long as the person makes it clear what he wants to be and maintains a consistent lifestyle and keeps a low-profile about the whole change-up, the government is content.

Why does gender identity throw people off if there is any sort of ambiguity?

Simon Baker of "The Mentalist" looks like a young Michael Caine.
