Spunky Local Website Gets New Server, Apologizes
Over the next 24 hours, our totally horrific and terrible load time exhibited over the last week should markedly improve! We done bought ourselves a new ad server, so the old ad server is being phased out and will stop dragging our sites down with it. Technology is really annoying. Our apologies to people who've wanted to visit and have been frustrated in the act.

'Times' Poll: Should or Should We Not Print Lies?
Everyone is pretty aghast and/or in stitches over today's weird and kinda embarrassing escapade by the New York Times public editor, Arthur Brisbane: "I’m looking for reader input on whether and when New York Times news reporters should challenge 'facts' that are asserted by newsmakers they write about." Not just when; whether! A list of people currently making fun of this runs from editors of city papers to New Yorker correspondents to totally random unemployed people to... well, the Times staffers are all sitting on their hands right now. GOSH, HOW THAT MUST BURN. READ MORE

Why Is the EPA Putting Poison in America's Water?
According to Senator James Inhofe, the EPA, at Barack Obama's bidding, has finally released a draft report on some wells in Wyoming that is obviously full of lies. For one thing, he stingingly calls the draft report "a draft." Oooh, burn! It's hard to believe the EPA has the chutzpah to disguise what is a clearly labeled draft report as a draft! It's also "political science," and, according to the local fracking companies, the EPA introduced chemicals into the local water that are the same chemicals that fracking utilizes. Do you see how sneaky the EPA is? They figure out what's in the secret fracking cocktail, and then spread that stuff around and make U.S. citizens drink it. It's the perfect plan. Anyway, there's no motivation for the fracking companies to lie or to play political science, as we know, so I guess we just have to dismantle those crooks at the EPA.

Everyone in the Radiohead demographic hates Ticketmaster so much right now. MACHINES SAY: SCALPING IS GOOD BUSINESS.
The whole process of buying concert tickets online really sucks.

Europe: So Fun to Blame!
THE EUROPEAN CONTAGION STRIKES! Thanks, everyone but Germany. (And so long, value of Swiss francs!) It's so nice to blame Europe for our "stock market woes" (which, you know, the standard caveats on that phrase, because, "higher DOW = better for everyone" is not a true thing). READ MORE
