Vegan parents who don’t do their job

This guy hates red lights and big brother watching

I hate waiting at red lights just as much as the next guy, but apparently down in Tennessee they do things just a wee bit different. They also don’t seem to be fans of big brother watching down on their every move either. While I can admit that I am not a fan [...]

Does This Sh*t Really Happen??

Okay, so last night I’m chillin’ on my couch, drinking beer 2 of 3, watching god only knows what on TV.  Seriously, couldn’t even tell you which channel I was watching at the time.  I’m zoning out and then this trippy, possibly-funny public service announcement comes on.  Now, there’s some pretty laughable drug-related PSAs as [...]

Adrienne goes to traffic court

August 15, 2007 marked the first day that I, Adrienne, have been to court…
TRAFFIC COURT, that is!
In mid-July, I was pulled over on my way to work for “failure to obey a steady red.” In layman’s terms, that means I ran a red light (…which I didn’t). I wasn’t speeding at the time; [...]

Once again, America misses the point

[Insert deep, resounding sigh here]
Once again, our country just doesn’t get it.
We spend money on this instead of ending the war in Iraq, working to find energy alternatives in the wake of a petroleum price spike, feeding our impoverished, improving urban schools, or making my more heathcare more affordable.  No, no - graffiti is the [...]
