I'm confused about whether the shameful revelation is that he's gay or that he's a BSG fan.

The shocking allegation is that he is into homosexual robot sex because if there is one thing I know from BSG commercials is that everyone is having sex with hot chicks and all the hot chicks are alien robots and I know that it is a scientific FACT that all alien robots have penises.

upside: no more remakes of The Birdcage!

Six women from Jersey are hospitalized due to complications from what can only be described as "back alley ass surgery." This is why ass surgery needs to be kept legal!

Nah, underground ass surgery happens in California too.

I think I made the best one in the OP: "back alley ass surgery."

Don't think of it as a novel. Think of it as a chance to retroactively win every argument you have ever walked away from.

The comments are great. So many logical fallacies in so little space! From slippery slope (if we let teh gayz do it, eventually we'll have to let NAMBLA do it too!) to ad hominem rhetorical questions (why does a high school prom make you think of perverted sex?)... this is great.

Well, except for the part where there are people seriously arguing that this is a slippery slope and there are people drawing "girl brings girl date and wears tux" to "perverted homo sex should be outlawed again." Oh, people.

No comment.

Of course, saying that not having a prom keeps kids from committing sodomy is about as logical as a two year old who thinks that when you play peek-a-boo you disappear when your eyes are closed.

This kind of bullshit is why I support the ACLU.

Aside from the inanity of that law, I should point out that you linked to a local Fox affiliate's website, not Fox News.

It's not even worth mentioning that the earlier you add salt in the cooking process, the less salt you need to produce the same effect.

It'd be nice to see some sort of law that puts a cap on the amount of salt that can be put into restaurant food (it's quite easy to get 200-300% of recommended sodium intake from a single food item, which is frankly unacceptable) but a full ban deserves the respect it is getting.

I'd love to see the same thing on frozen food.  I mean there's other stuff wrong with it healthwise, but the dealbreaker for me is usually the 90-120% of DV of sodium.

Frankly, I don't want to see any regulation of salt until the need is absolutely verified.  For frozen foods, the high sodium is, if I'm not mistaken, because of preservatives.  I don't know that I'd want to force companies to go find something else to keep their food unspoiled, because god only knows what they might come up with.

The number of actually effective preservatives are much lower than I expected when a friend and I researched it a while back.

Various forms of packaging tricks, and....Salt, Sugar, Acid, Base, Alcohol.  That's...pretty much it for stuff that you can add to food and stop all major bacteria.
