You hang out with people who think women and olive-sized embryos are of equal value. Indeed, I do not. I hang out with people who value women a lot more than that.

AEI - Women being concerned about the unlikely probability that they are drugged is a bad thing.

Cold soups are horrible. That's what I have against them. Just, blech.

...the use of the term "bellowing" makes me think you made some sort of angry oxen sound at him, which honestly I hope is true.

This post just made me miss Regretsy big time.

I was almost with him until the mushy facebook messages. You already lost your girlfriend now is not the time to piss off your remaining friends Sam.

I just kind of wish that instead of it being signed, it was a paw print.

Celebrity Edition!

Whatever your beliefs are about animal cruelty, animal rights, vegetarianism, or anything else, the funny, sad and sort of scary thing here (scary that some people have so little self-awareness and so much bad judgment) is that Kelly thinks that interrupting a few total strangers at a restaurant and yelling at them…

When Mr. Cherry and I started dating, we splashed out at Robuchon (in Vegas). No joke: my meal had both foie gras and veal cheeks. I ate tortured goose and baby cow face... and they were so delicious that I felt bad for about 0.0001 seconds. It was the best meal we've had to date, and he grandly promised that if we…

You just fucking KNOW chickens would vote libertarian.

My friend is a wild life rehab person! She specializes in raptors! Every spring during brood season they get so so so many calls "we found a baby bird, what do we do?" - "bring it to us, we'll take care of it" - "no, we want to keep it, how do we care for it?" - "you need to feed it ground up mice every hour on the…

Yeah, I did the vegetarian thing for a while. I did the vegan thing for a while too. I thought the PETA types were assholes then, and I think they're assholes now. Like an ill-mannered Jehovah's Witness who isn't willing to take no for an answer.

And the idea that animals are somehow rationally self-determining entities is woefully misguided. Dennett wrote an interesting article on animal consciousness, which, if you haven't read it, is here:

It is glorious! I use olive oil and just a touch of butter (it makes it brown up nice) and shred cabbage and onions - fry until it it just perfectly brown and then eat the ever loving hell out of it. If I am super hungry I add the egg noodles but I swear I can eat fried cabbage straight from the pan without stopping.

That lady reminds me of a volunteer I had to fire. We needed the help, but she was bug nuts. It was a wildlife center, so she thought she'd volunteer to heal the animals and then freaked the hell out when I fed dead mice and meat to hawks and other, you know, obligate carnivores. Literally, she'd start screaming about…

Chickens are assholes. Tasty, tasty assholes.

Damn, is it that bad not eating meat, that vegans have to lie to themselves to eat their awful food? If all you serve is soy, just fucking serve soy! Stop trying to pretty it up with fancy shapes and names of foods you're too good to eat!

I'd really like to know how the conversation between your cousin and that guy went. Especially when he got to the blue bow part.

When I was in my early 20's, there was a club that my friends and I went to SO often that we joked about it being cheaper to just pay them rent. We knew everyone. Everyone knew us. My cousin, a 6'8" hulk of a guy, was the bouncer. It was just one of those great (if slightly alcoholic) moments in time.
