Cause
and Defect
 You
just wanted a burger.
But that requires cows and cows require corn
and corn requires phosphates and phosphates
leach into the water and the water reaches
the gulf and the gulf becomes a big dead zone
and millions
of fish die.
Or cows require
pasture which requires deforestation
which shrinks the
rain forest
which
means
erosion of
the soil
and
species
loss and release of carbon
dioxide into the atmosphere
leading eventually to climate change and droughts
and floods and, ironically enough, starvation
when the crops fail.
Meanwhile those cows are eliminating
millions of tons of waste packed
with deadly e. coli daily even though they're
regularly dosed with a steady supply of human-grade
antibiotics, which you eventually eat, that
barely keeps them alive long enough to reach
the slaughterhouse
before
their livers fail from being force-fed a delightful
hash of corn and ground-up cow remains.
But you just wanted one little burger. No harm
done, right?

 I'm
proud to say that about
a kazillion people, give or take a few million, visited
the new and improved bornagainpagan.com and
for that I thank you one and all. I've already added
new content since ye olde Grande Opening and have swatted
a bug or two.
I also added a Google Search feature for the site which
turned out to be problematical as apparently da Goog
has not yet indexed the new data, so the search results
are all from the previous incarnation... which no longer
exists.
Uh-oh.
However, I'm sure
the Big G will be visiting the site soon as no sparrow
falls that it does not spy with its spidery little
internet eye.

 Some
bright spark has wasted valuable hours of his life by enumerating the 100
longest entries on Wikipedia. Number #1 is about D&D, which I can almost
understand but #2 is a list of sporting events in August of 2010, leading me
to ask "WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE!?". This is a circle
jerk of epic proportions. You might as well have created a list of Imelda Marcos'
open-toed fuck-me-pumps.
Number #3 a list of the RAF aircrews in the Battle of Britain. Ooh, pinch me.
Still, the list offers some fascinating surprises. Stop in and see for yourself.

 "We're
going to have a relentless focus on creating
jobs." -
John Boehner, February 10, 2011.
The following is #44 in a list of accomplishments
by the GOP since they gained control of the House in
2011. None have yet to result in one, single new job.
(44) 6-24-2011: Yesterday the Democratic Congress stood
up on its back legs and finally barked out what so many
of us have been saying for the past six months--- that
the Republican Congress is actively trying to stall
the economy. There,
was that so harrrrrrrd?
