A Pacifist in Iraq; Sure, Why The Hell Not?

The woman to your right looks like your average aging Berkeley hippie who talks about the ills of American imperialism, the misdeeds of war, her desire to tar and feather our CoC, etc. Well she does do all of those things…but she’s taken it a step further.

Robert Oppenheimer is Rolling In His Grave

Although we accept the fact that corporations run the world and will drive us out of our homes, place us in small cubicles and drain our minds of any creative thought, can’t they at least wait until we graduate?

Stripping for the Earth (Warning: Not Safe Ever)

See, this is why we need nudist laws.
