The Smug Baldy Speaks

I posted a while ago about some of the shenanigans involving the expanding role of radical Islam within the Texas State Board of Education (here and here). It turns out that, while the good people of Texas were sleeping, self-appointed imams have inserted a curriculum requirement to provide an elective course to teach about the [...]

This appeared in our local paper this morning: This image from a surveillance video at an adult video store on Airport Boulevard shows a burglar holding an inflatable sex doll after he broke into the business. Let me count the ways this wingnut fails: First – he’s on video, so he will likely be caught, [...]

The other day I was thinking how awesome it would be if everything revolved around me. Seriously, if I were the center of the universe, then all problems – worldly and otherworldly – would take a back seat to my own. When I moved, I would move the universe. When I shake, I would shake [...]

Back during the 2008 election, these t-shirts came out, and lots of people were put in a weird spot. After all, it’s generally inappropriate to make fun of unwed pregnant teens, and in political campaigns a candidate’s children are usually off limits. But time passed, and the strange set of social contradictions that surrounded Sarah [...]

President Bush takes some direct questions after his announcement of a $50 Billion supplemental to battle zombies. Bush vs. Zombies isn’t just a Homeland Security priority, I think it’s an instant classic: “How about their overall creepiness?” HT To Matt

Nobody should be required to take a neutral stance on stupidity. Indeed – here at SmugBaldy, we’re vehemently anti-stupid, so this is the sort of thing that really irks me. I had previously written a short piece about how creationists were trying to worm their way into the hall of power in Texas, and expand [...]

Over at ThinkProgress, there’s a small piece about President Bush’s remarks about something he’s learned from his visit to the Rawandan Genocide Museum:. BUSH: A clear lesson I learned in the museum was that outside forces that tend to divide people up inside their country are unbelievably counterproductive. In other words, people came from other [...]

You’re surrounded by Ghost Whisperers, Allison DuBuois, and freaky kids seeing dead people, so it’s only (super)natural to ask yourself, “Hey, could I be psychic?” Take our little test and find out if you have a hidden psychic ability. Have any of these things ever happened to you?

The Bush administration recently bent over and gave us all a peek at where they plan to dig up part of the $150 billion for the as yet unpaid-for emergency economic stimulus package: their ass. Actually, it’s more like they’re using the FCC to pull it out of ABC’s ass. With a charge of broadcasting [...]

They say that Truth is the first casualty in war. Not now. Not in this war. A week ago, a hacker group calling themselves Anonymous posted their Declaration of War against the “Church” of Scientology, shortly after they were able to bring down one of the church’s websites. Then afterwards, Anonymous posted a second vid [...]
