The cost being that despite massive spending cuts and privatization, the economic realities of the country still exist here in Indiana – people are unemployed and businesses are not moving to the state to employ them. Unless they start, all the cost cutting in the world will not save us.

Well, as an explanation for comfirmation bias, it makes sense. I guess. If it's supposed to. Heh.

"So he loaded it onto a trolley, but Beyoncé was surprisingly unstable, and the giant 5 foot metal chicken crashed over onto the floor. And Laura and I were all “CHICKEN DOWN! CLEAN-UP IN AISLE 3″ but he didn’t laugh. Then the manager came to see what was causing all the commotion, and that’s when he found the very-conservative salesman unhappily struggling to right an enthusiastically pointy chicken which was almost as tall as he was. The salesman was having a hard time, and he told everyone to stand back “because this chicken will cut you“, and at first I thought he meant it as a threat, like “That chicken has a shiv”, but turns out he just meant that all the chickens’ ends were sharp and rusty. It was awesome, and Laura and I agreed that even if we got tetanus, this chicken had already paid for himself even before we got it in her truck."

I'm effing in love with the blog "The Mary Sue." Can you effing tell that? Because I'm totes posting links to all their articles. And you should read this one too.

I'm not sure which is my favorite.

Oh, the woman who was the voice of Utena died of ovarian cancer. That's sad; I really liked that story. I don't know a huge amount about anime, but that one was really appealing

Awesome – Marti Noxon will be one of them, and Alison Adler is another; I really like both of their work.. This will do wonders for fixing the uneven story lines and making the characters more consistent. I'm really looking forward to next season. 

"A Silsbee High School cheerleader took her school to court when they kicked her off the squad for refusing to cheer her own rapist. The week of May 5, 2011 the Supreme Court refused to hear the case and is requiring her family pay the school $45,000 in legal fees." This site is taking donations to help pay her legal fees – I just sent money via paypal, and hope you will consider doing that too.

Damn it. I really need to make TeeFury my homepage so I see it every day. I can't believe I missed this shirt. Damn it.

Teen girls who's "first" sexual experience was rape are more likely to get divorced later on in life.

Lots more groups are sitting up and taking notice of the story

A first-hand account of the rant that Tracy Morgan went into at a comedy show. Really upsetting to hear, and it certainly gives me pause about watching 30 Rock anymore.

"Truth Wins Out is alarmed at allegations that well-known comedian Tracy Morgan departed from his usual stand-up routine to unleash an anti-gay tirade during his June 3 performance at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville. Eyewitness Kevin Rogers, who attended with his partner and a friend, gives a firsthand account which describes how Morgan’s entire demeanor changed as he allegedly claimed that being gay is a choice, that homosexuality is something that kids learn from the media, and that gay youth victims of bullying are simply “whining.” Furthermore, he allegedly said that if his son was gay and “whined” about being a bullying victim, he would kill him, using words that will not be repeated here."

Because they're asking the wrong people, maybe? This isn't rocket science. Well, I guess it actually IS, but fortunately for me, I'm a rocket scientist, so I can tell you – yes, it's there. And I can show it to you. Grab a torch and follow me, we're going in… All joking aside though, this is an interesting article on the complete lack of scientific research on this subject.

I'm a pretty key "connector/maven" for lgbt stuff in Indy, and somehow I missed out on this happening, which means they could use a different approach to their marketing, I think.

Q: If there is a God, why does he let so much pain and suffering happen to Anthony Weiner’s penis? A: God does many wonderful things. He made you, and Mommy and Daddy, and the sun and the moon and all of the food that we eat. But sometimes God gets bored, and that’s why He made the people who invented Twitter.
