"Scientists" believe life began in underwater hydrothermal vents 4 billion years ago. I believe it began at the Denny's off the interstate in Toledo Ohio in 1956. I don't make fun of their theory and yet they constantly ridicule mine. And that's what's wrong with our so-called elites

In case you hadn’t heard, National Treasure Funnyman Bill Maher recently won “Mark Twain’s Prize.” Anyone Mark Twain likes is good enough for me! Bill also deserves a prize for bravely defending America from the Writer’s Guild. Presidential Medal of Freedom perhaps? (Hint, hint!) @theonion.com

Uptown. Tuskin Street. Caller said that he sees a guy walking toward the river carrying a rifle in one hand and a fishing rod in the other. Caller is concerned.

Rowling is arguing with the dictionary now. What a stupid brain rotted idiot.
A screenshot of the Merriam-Webster dictionary mobile webpage defining the word "trans". The search bar shows "trans" is currently being searched. Below the search bar, it indicates this is the first of three entries and categorizes "trans" as an adjective, providing the pronunciations 'tran(t)s and 'tranz.
​The first definition is given as ": TRANSGENDER".
​This is followed by an example sentence: "The Affordable Care Act included trans health care in many places and that was a remarkable step in the right direction for trans people, but in some ways it still remained difficult to receive personalized and comprehensive transgender healthcare. – Alexa Corazón"
​Below the example sentence is a note that reads: "NOTE: While the word trans has been used as a shortened version of both transgender and transsexual, the word transsexual is dated and sometimes offensive. The word transgender is preferred."

I am stunned that the constitutional question was so close. I thought it would be 6–3 or 7–2. It is profoundly disturbing that four justices would allow either the president or Congress to rewrite the plain text of the 14th Amendment. This is obviously a good outcome, but the margin is alarming.
