i've heard it all before, splashville. good luck, though.

change you can believe in

Following prior cancellations by Willie Nelson and The Barenaked Ladies, Heart has followed suit and will not keep an upcoming scheduled performance at SeaWorld.

I don't think I need to tell you why.
If you don't get it, go home and watch Blackfish on netflix.

lady binder fact check.

Everyone is having a good at laugh over Mitt Romney's "binders full of women" line from last night's debate, but given our current obsession with fact checking it's no surprise that there are also questions about whether the binder story is even true. David Bernstein of The Phoenix in Boston got a post up last night questioning Mitt's recollection of events. According to Bernstein, the mythical binder did indeed exist, but it was given to Governor Romney by outside activists and not at his request.

A group called MassGAP put together the list in 2002—before Romney was elected governor of Massachusetts—as part of an overall effort to push to get more women into senior leadership positions in state government. They say they approached Romney with the binder as he was putting together his cabinet, not the other way around. (via)

paul ryan smells like beef and cheese, he doesn't smell like santa.

you might've heard that vice presidential candidate paul ryan took the RNC stage last night and delivered a speech that most news outlets have fact-checked and concluded was riddled with false statements about the obama administration. today, the obama campaign has released a web ad in defense. see both.


2Pz : fair and balanced.

speaking of fair judgments, joel has determined that paul ryan is actually a chicken dressed in a man suit. you can hear the muffled clucks that are attempting to escape his lie-filled throat when he pauses for applause. fact-check THAT.

oops!

finally, i'm relieved of my guilt of never having listened to this piece:

This American Life has retracted "Mike Daisey Goes to the Apple Factory," the story that arguably started the recent spate of articles examining Apple manufacturer Foxconn, because a Marketplace reporter discovered Daisey had lied about the facts.  (via)

Slippery Rail Conditions May Cause Train Delays

September 29, 2011

Autumn’s falling leaves and wet weather have the potential to cause “slippery rail delays,” an age-old problem that affects all railroads in the Northeast and other parts of the world where deciduous trees are prevalent.


Slippery rail condition occurs when falling leaves are crushed by train wheels.  The decaying leaf material creates a slippery, oily residue that coats the rails, resulting in poor traction for trains. 


Slippery rails can make it difficult or impossible for the steel wheels of a train to maintain traction and operate normally.  This condition is similar to the wheels of an automobile on a sheet of ice; the tires may turn but, without traction, the car won’t go very fast.  Unfortunately, a train that encounters traction problems is delayed and can cause delays for the trains behind it, as well.


Doing Our Part


NJ TRANSIT aggressively fights slippery rail conditions with several countermeasures, including:

• Deploying AquaTrack, our high-pressure rail power-washing system that runs along the tracks
• Tree trimming and leaf removal near rail lines
• Strategically spreading sand on the rails in advance of peak periods

Despite our best efforts, the combination of wet conditions following the leaf-fall period may result in traction problems and delayed trains.  As a result, customers may wish to allow extra travel time when traveling during the fall season.


We appreciate your understanding. (via)

sounds like they need to strategically spread sand on their vaginas in advance of peak periods, amiright?!!?!?!?!11

during last week's budget freakshow, john kyl, the senator of the most hateful state in america, arizona, stated on the floor of congress that abortions were over 90% of what planned parenthood does. which, of course, is wildly inaccurate. when called out, his office issued a response: that statistic was "not intended to be a factual statement."

stephen colbert makes an example of him via twitter.

hey, did you read that scientology story in the new yorker?

in the latest issue, there is a 28-page-long expose, inspired by director paul haggis's 30+ year involvement in the church, which ultimately ended in his leaving. it took me about 3 hours to read, but it really is quite riveting. it even made the approval matrix! i really liked the end of it.



above is an interview with the author on npr's fresh air, detailing the incredible amount of fact-checking that accompanied the publishing of the article.

GD racist-ass liberal media

the commie loving new york times is spreading scandalous lies about dreamy cam newton, in a transparent effort to curtail his chances of winning the heisman. they claim kenny rogers (i'm sure that's the chicken guy) was shopping cam around to different universities for 180,000 dollars, and that urban meyers leak information to the press about his alleged academic misconducts at the university of florida. in reality, newton left florida not because he was caught cheating, but because flamboyant christian tim tebow was going to overshadow him with all of his flashy abortion commercials. it's a pack of lies, i tell ya'.

cam is brushing off all the vicious lies saying, "I’m not going to let any of this be a distraction to this team...and I look forward to the rest of the season.” that's right! WE'RE NUMBER TWO!!! WAR EAGLE!!!

[lies]

that's exactly what a witch would say.

you know WHO gobbles my goop: major tom

who the F is major tom? he's in like every song ever made. listen to this list from wikipedia, (yeah, he even has a wikipeida entry!):

"[major tom] appears in the songs "space oddity", "ashes to ashes" and "hallo spaceboy" by [david] bowie, the song "major tom (coming home)" by peter schilling, a french cover of "major tom" by belgian artist plastic bertrand, "i'm a soldier" by stefán, "mrs. major tom" by K.I.A., "rocket" by def leppard, and "rain or shine" by five star. due to some similarities in elton john's "rocket man", some presume this song might also be an allusion to major tom."

and guess what!? he's not even real! david bowie just made him up! what a farce. ugh!
