I'm all for religious freedom, but...
Religious freedom does not mean being allowed to kill your kid. This is child abuse.

Liberty to re-open
Fallout from the NYC flyover
The idiot who made the decision to fly air force one over NYC has resigned. Not that it was voluntary; President Obama was truly pissed.
Mustard?
Has the right wing seriously been reduced to this?
They are now criticizing President Obama for his choice of hamburger condiment, one that I prefer as well. This is not elitist, it is fucking mustard.
The GOP and their ilk are getting very desperate. We have a recovering economy, an extremely popular president, and everything is clicking. Which does not bode well for anyone with an (R) next to their name.

Duke Nukem for Never
The computer game I've been awaiting since I was a freshman in high school was cancelled today. The ultimate vaporware.

A good idea to help with teen drinking
Craigslist getting neutered - maybe
Its perfectly acceptable for Craigslist to choose what users can publish on its site. Its perfectly unacceptable for the government to limit that free speech.
And that's what advertisements are, even if the services advertised are not quite legal. It is free speech.
Free speech = first amendment = abolute
The only silver lining is that the founder of Craigslist appears to be fighting this so far.

Pepsi without HFCS
You all know how I feel about high fructose corn syrup - I think it is very unhealthy, a kind of franken-food that is worse than sugar, the natural substance it emulates. It also adds to the American diet that is almost completely corn based. It may cause diabetes.
Interestingly enough, the same beverage makers who unleashed HFCS on us many years ago are starting to switch back or at least give us the choice. Pepsi, a big one, has just introduced Throwback Pepsi, which is advertised as being made from "natural sugar."
Pepsi denies these are any healthier than their other products. Will they be any popular? Only time will tell. I personally prefer Pepsi Max, but if I had to choose between Pepsi and Pepsi Throwback, I'd take this one.
How long before Coke brings out "Coca-cola classic: this time its for real" ?
