Still angry? There’s nothing that can be done for you.

Think our election process stinks? In Afghanistan’s election the Taliban threatened voters with warnings and rocket attacks!

The man convicted of blowing up Pan Am flight 103 has been released and is heading back to Libya today, because he has terminal prostate cancer. Mmm… what about the 270 passengers who died from “terminal terrorist cancer”?

Today in insulting sexism: World champ runner is so fast, she’s been accused of lying about her gender. (Note: Unsurprisingly these accusations come from men who are acting like anything but.)

Sen. Ted Kennedy, fearing a quick demise, is asking the governor to appoint a replacement for him so Democrats won’t lose a crucial health care vote. If that was me, I would probably be saying, “OH GOD! I DON’T WANNA DIE! I DON’T WANNA DIE!!”

The popular (but environmentally dumb) “cash for clunkers” program is expected to get the boot this Friday. SO QUICK! BUY A BUNCH OF CARS!! OH GOD! I DON’T WANNA DIE! I DON’T WANNA DIE!!

Remember that helicopter/small plane crash over the Hudson? Turns out the air traffic controller at the time was on the phone with a woman, making jokes about barbecuing a cat. America, meet your newest pariah.

Keep cool, you cool cats!

Bang bang, choo-choo train, let me see you shake that thang. Wm. Steven Humphrey is the editor-in-chief of the Portland Mercury and has held the job since 2000. (So don’t get any funny ideas.)

  1. The best way to solve the runner issue is to have men and women compete against each other. Because identifying somebody by gender traits is really just passive-aggressive sexism.

  2. From now on I’m just going to assume that all the ladies passing me at the track while I run my 10 minute mile are all actually really fast men.

  3. I don’t think I have ever seen a pet fox before. By the way, I wonder if animals can get ice cream headaches? Maybe I should have asked questionland.
