Oooh, wait wait wait! We've also gotta get a shot of the Flying Spagetti Monsterite display!

... And to all a good night!

I hope I never stop finding this funny.

Cue the mommy wars and anecdotal stories in 5,4,3....

That Justin Bieber wax figure looks exactly like Kate McKinnon playing Justin Bieber

Be like, "Oh, duh, your Habsburg jaw made that obvious."

But if we spent the tax money on these things, how could we afford to subsidize Wal Mart's low wages?

Meanwhile in Quebec, governmental daycare costs $7.50 per day.

It's probably a combination of things and, as justlikeacold pointed out, I bet a bunch of it is college tuition increases, which have been... depressing, to say the least. However, as far as child care costs, I know in my work circle, people have had to increasingly rely on nannies instead of day care (or nannies AND

I'm a DOCTOR and I have trouble covering the costs of daycare while most of my colleagues have nannies and I have no idea how they can afford it.

And all three of these major issues (medical care, child care, and tuition) could all be managed through better policy and spending of our tax dollars. Having lived overseas where healthcare is national, education is subsidized from infancy to university, where taxes are about the same as where I now live in the US —

I might be naive, but does this mean people are paying daycare providers and nannies more? Because that seems like a good thing for the people on the receiving end of that exchange.

Kendra Wilkinson, former girlfriend and wet nurse to Hugh Hefner, has been flirting with her co-star Jake Quickenden, a UK reality star who "loves a MILF every now and then."

That's also a little different. The n-word was always meant to be a slur to demean or dehumanize. The Swedish word sounds like it's had it's meaning changed over time to become that - more sort of like if you went back and switched old timey books to all say "We're so happy!" instead of "We're so gay!"

Do Swedes even get mad? I always sort of assumed that they'd just write bleak existential poetry in smart turtlenecks.

Except...in Huck Finn the n-word is historically realistic, and it's used by racist characters who the book condemns for their racism. So editing it out is stupid.

Of course they didn't. If we live in a world where a neighborhood watch wannabe can murder an unarmed teenage boy and be found not guilty, I don't know why I keep expecting us to indict police officers who kill grown men for committing petty crimes.

Goddamn, I wish this was surprising. But its not-not at all. Our system is completely fucking broken. Amurica y'all. So glad we consider ourselves worthy of telling the rest of the damn world what to do.

How can there be anyone left in this country who doesn't accept that the police can do whatever they want to us and always get away with it — and that, as they get ever-increasingly militarized and staffed with more and more traumatized combat veterans created from the insane wars staged to make Dick Cheney richer, it
