The Angry Chimp tackles another problem
by Pete on July 30, 2006
I caught a bit of the embarassing press conference President Bush gave a few days ago with Tony Blair, and was left wondering yet again how anyone with more than half a brain can watch the man talk without cringing. (…)
Slayer
by Pete on July 28, 2006
Last night I acquired a copy of the new Slayer album, Christ Illusion, which is due out on August 8. Holy crap. Someone said to me that Slayer keeps writing the same song over and over again. Maybe, but I (…)
Your government, hard at work
by Pete on July 26, 2006
Thanks to our ever-watchful moral guardians, the epidemic of young girls being driven across state lines to get abortions without their parents’ consent will finally be coming to an end. The Senate bill passed yesterday by a margin of 65-34. (…)

by Pete on July 22, 2006
I have run across two item in the news this morning that caught my eye. Neither is earth-shattering on its face. First, from the morning’s New York TImes: From 2002 until this year, NASA’s mission statement, prominently featured in its (…)
