Bible is America's favorite book: poll

NEW YORK (Reuters Life!) – When it comes to literary pursuits in the United States most people agree on at least one thing — the most popular book is the Bible, according to a new survey.

When it comes to conversational pass-times in the United States most people agree on at least one thing — lying about your reading material impresses chicks.

In Searching for New Job, Gonzales Sees No Takers

You know why that is? In the private sector shit-for-brains losers whose legal theory is ridiculous at best and a war crime at worst are a huge liability. Close enough for government work only works against juries because they don’t get convened against the Federal government.

Al needs to discover the secret that 1,000,000 half-rate, evil motherfuckers like him already know. Universities will tenure anyone with a résumé longer than the prize dick on their board of regents. The UC system is waiting for you, my evil coyote. Maybe John Yoo can give you a reference. I think he also grew up a short fat kid and shares a certain love of getting back at the world.

Study: Dyslexia differs by language

Do you know why? Because the only thing Noam Chomsky ever actually did to earn himself a tenured position at the top of his field was plain, old fashioned wrong. All it actually takes to demonstrate this is a parrot and a feral child but I’m glad the National Academy of Sciences is catching up with me. Been lonely.

I’m sure Chomsky’s a genius at other stuff though. Like explaining why 1,000,000 dead Iraqis weigh so much more than 75,000,000 dead Chinese. It’s a good riddle.

Chalkboard what is this

Anyone can double click to edit the block below. Its content is not necessarily from Sedition·com or reviewed or approved by us. Your chalkboard entry will stay there until someone else does the same or the server cache is reset or expires in a week. Rules: you can use basic Markdown or XHTML strict, no styles, no scripts, no <pre/>, no attributes except href for links, 750-ish characters, and, as usual, threats and abuse won’t be tolerated unless they’re very, very funny.

Why would you want to do this? You can put an ad and link for your site there. You can put a “Sedition·sucks” there. It’s above the fold on the top page and it’s all yours until the next visitor comes along.

Why would we want to do this? 1) Free speech is fun. 2) Cross-pollination is fun. 3) A Web 2.0 résumé point is nice when poking the job market with a sharp stick.
