Cop retroactively "fired" after agreeing to resign for running a 'cop rant' sight. Included such topics as "You know you're in the ghetto when..."

I got an email last night from my professor with more work for me to do on the damn paper. I'm fussing, but there is no way I put that much time in on the project only to not do anything he suggests at this late hour. This has screwed up my plans for last night and of course tonight - due at noon tomorrow. Bugger bugging buggerer.

Savage quotes a recent study by Gerulf Rieger that says men can't be bisexual. The non-shock was most men identifying as bisexual were gay.

Don't fucking look at me - I'm not dating anyone. I'm just 'material.'
(edit - by which I actually mean do look at me, but in that "I'm going to think about you later in the privacy of my home," kind of way, rather than the "I'm judging you and the contrast between your statements and actions," kind of way)

BORF is finally caught, and it turns out he's just a rich suburban teen. People say, and I quote, "Duh." Worst part is, his rich parents seem aware of his actions. If so, I say they get charged for the tens of thousands of dollars spent to clean up his mess. My idea for punishment: make him clean each and every item - let citizens post borf tag locations on a public anonymous web site. He gets chaperoned by cops for the entire process, and charged for the cops' time. Public ridicule of the punk is hihgly encouraged.

Yay for catching Borf. He sense of social justice is just a leetle bit misguided, n'cest pas?

I still want to know who's behind the gorillas, though. Is it some covert operative(s), or does anyone know?

To me they're just a neat cartoon band!

You're no fun.

Here's my favorite line in the Borf article: He spoke sneeringly of "rich people," though sometimes when he parked in the city his parents gave him $14 for the garage.

Ding ding ding! went the bell

I liked :
He complained that folks in stores assume "all young people shoplift," and when he's reminded that he himself shoplifts spray paint, he says that's just more evidence of how messed up society is.

Oh, man! I can't believe I missed that quote. Classic!

Dean, the bar manager from Roxy, used to say "when girls say they're bi they're straight. When guys say they're bi they're gay"

i took a pic of one of borf's tags. i had no idea it was some kind of far reaching thing. odd.

Gotta love that sample size, too. There's true science for ya.

It is a good step in the right direction that Bi-Phobe Dan admits that bisexuals who are dating other bisexuals just aren't writing in, because they don't have a problem. But can nobody see that, even if you are absolutely 50-50 sexually attracted to both genders, it's just easier to have relationships with the opposite sex in the context of modern society? Particularly if you're a man. Eliminate homophobia and you'd see a lot more of that elusive bi male species. Big surprise there...

The part that was interesting to me was the interview with his gay lab assistant who says the prof isn't homophobic. As for sample size, outside of bound it's probably difficult to get a bunch of guys to sit around watching gay porn with electrodes strapped to your genitals.

See, there will always be anti bi bias. Think of it like this, if you date a bisexual - you will either marry them or break up at some point. Now, when you're seeking reasons why it didn't work out, do you
a) think perhaps it wasn't meant to be in the long-run
b) admit you were a friggin twinkie
c) admit you had some fault that made them bad relationship material for them
d) realize they had some fault that made them bad relationship material for you
e) say ohmigod I fucking hate bisexuals they all suck

If you answered e, then you are part of hetero or homo sexual society that is responsible for sustaining the anti-bi bias. And yes, I do believe and hell personally practice the theory of bis dating bis - or at least not dating fuckwads that care about your sexuality outside of whether or not you want to boink them.

I think I'm going to paste this in Tony's LJ...he's ranting on the same thing.
