Cataclysm of Thought

Yet another update?
2008-01-11 08:46:00 Our new exercise bike just came in at Sears today.

Hawaii Superferry Voyages Cancelled

Maxim?s So-Called Article on Ann Coulter is Disgusting
2007-10-17 20:48:00 While I cannot stand Ann Coulter for her insanely terrible politics, I think it is egregious that Maxim would point out all of her figure flaws over pointing out how she’s racist, misogynistic, anti-progressive, or how she has an absolute hatred of all people who are not just like her (Republican, Christian, white, heterosexual). ...
