“ Now, the terrorists hate our freedoms. That’s really all that gets them out of bed in the mornings. So our governments have been bravely removing those freedoms, thereby giving the terrorists less to hate!

People Who Need to be Punched in the Face dot tumblr dot com

irrationalblog:

While talking to Del today about the eternal douchiness of Kanye West, I made a joke about starting a Tumblr where I just posted pictures of people who are annoying and called it “People Who Need to be Punched in the Face.” So tonight while on a break from writing, I did it. Follow this thing. It’s going to be the hottest new Tumblr around.

 Yes, please.

I hope I’m never featured on this Tumblr. 

marco: Been getting a lot of these spams over the last few days. They’re getting through all of my filters. Anyone else? YES!!! I asked the Vimeo staff if they had the same problem and no one really said yes. It’s pretty annoying.

“ The first way PDOT is feeling the pinch of increased oil prices is a new multi-million dollar transportation department budget gap. Why? Oregonians are driving less, in part due to the cost of gas. PDOT’s funding for taking care of local streets and bridges comes largely from state fuel taxes. The gas tax is based on the number of gallons of gas sold – not the price of that gas. So, the fewer gallons of gas sold, the less gas tax. For PDOT that means a $2.7 million current service budget hole for the fiscal year starting in July.

Is there no end to the number of ways oil culture is screwing us?
