More and more frequently the New York Times shows complete douchebaggery in the news stories it publishes (just take a look at this gem, “How to Speak Nanny“). In today’s science section though, they really fucked the goat-ass.
Until last week, paleontologists could offer no clear-cut evidence for the color of dinosaurs. Then researchers provided evidence [...]

Sarah Palin quits again

Sadly she’s not quitting, say, existence. She’s quitting her vacation because…let’s let her explain it. From Politico:
“In an attempt to ‘go incognito,’ I Sharpied the logo out on my sun visor so photographers would be less likely to recognize me and bother my kids or other vacationers.”
Yeah, you were attempting to be incognito. (See this [...]
The worst debate ever in the history of journalism

And no, that debate is not coming from World Net Daily or the LA Times (though to be fair, neither of those institutions really practices journalism). It’s coming from the BBC. The goddamn BBC! Oh, whither BBC?
We’re not making up the fact that the BBC actually asked the question: “Should homosexuals face execution?” Here’s a [...]
Worst headline of the day

“Man arrested for allegedly trying to chop down tree (no word on if it was cherry)”
Wow! What a terrible headline! That’s just…awful. So so so so bad. How do we know it’s bad? 1) It thinks it’s cute; 2) It’s trying too hard; 3) It uses, lamely, a reference to an apocryphal story about the [...]
“Servicing the debt” is funny until you look at the numbers

Ugh: “[T]he White House estimates that the government’s tab for servicing the debt will exceed $700 billion a year in 2019, up from $202 billion this year, even if annual budget deficits shrink drastically. Other forecasters say the figure could be much higher.” New York Times

Stop using the word “penned”

You fucking hacks. What’s wrong with the word “wrote”? Doesn’t have that I’m-a-douchebag quality you were looking for? Let’s be clear about something. The word “penned” immediately, in the context of having written anything, lets the reader know a couple things:
1) You think the person or subject about which you’re writing is, like, super important.
2) [...]
