Slashdot

If you still have a uterus and a vagina, you are not a "pregnant man" no matter how many times you appear on Oprah.

Now, let's be real here: If I got breast implants and went running around in a dress saying I was the first woman with potent semen, I'd be called a fool and likely I'd have countless women's organizations crying foul. I doubt I'd be all over the the news as the first woman to get another woman pregnant using only what god gave her.

But, it doesn't matter. Every news outlet is saying "pregnant man"... thankfully my daughter is not old enough to need this one explained to her.

Maybe it's the superior child of an evolutionary psychiatrist who posted the first (of many) response in this thread.

I must be an unsophisticated low-brow child from a working-class family - I'm not superior enough to find the joke "not funny." At least, at the end of the day, nobody is calling me a douchebag.

So, the U.S. Olympic Trials are coming to Eugene, Oregon. It's creating quite a stir, and all kinds of fun is happening, including this . The volunteer "sensitivity training" part is true, and I don't know how much Fox News is exaggerating but...

Barbers? Soul food? "Black" churches? Speaking hip-hop?

Can we pull out any more racial stereotypes? How about we indicate where to find watermelons and crack, too?

This report is shameful and embarrassing. Thank God I moved out of Eugene.

Sad thing is, it wouldn't surprise me at all if Fox didn't exaggerate a single bit. Eugene has reached the point where "sensitivity" has gone so extreme that it is now the manifestation of the prejudiced thought that it sought to do away. I hope Fox is exaggerating, though, because the city-sponsored promotion of the trials starts off with a crowd chanting that "the whole world is watching." Indeed.

So, over the last few months Slashdot has introduced more AJAXy features. It's buggy crap, if you ask me, and lately it has only gotten worse.

Often, Firefox shoots to maximum CPU utilization and a few seconds later reports that a script on the page is still running, and asks if I want to kill it, which I do and then can no longer post comments and use other functionality.

Maybe I'm just becoming a Luddite when it comes to the web, but I happen to have *liked* having the web being just thing to read rather than what is becoming today: an interactive, buggy, often eye-torturing mess of "applications."

Thank God Javascript doesn't run in my Usenet news reader.

I passed my RHCE exam!
