And as Fark.com continues and expands as a mouth piece for the Far and Angry Left, users of the once popular website drop me emails like this:

"I lurked a bit on TF (TotalFark) yesterday in between stints of looking at the local news on the internet, and I guess what struck me is what a human cesspool that place has become in the past year. There are a lot of real ---holes there, and I notice most of them are die-hard Obama supporters. It's probably more because they are young and have some sort of chips on their shoulder, but I really need to evaluate the time I spend arguing with those ----s. Life is way too short to bother with people like that. Just a random observation."

Agreed. And who does Fark.com attack today? Bristol Palin's fiance. An 18 year old kid who plays hockey and enjoys fishing, whom they label a 'Dumbass.' And they link to a website out Britain which has decided to play 'pile on' against the first woman ever nominated as a Republican VP.

And no, I'm not linking to Drew Curtis' online trailer park and sending one bit of traffic in his sleazy direction. I am wondering how Drew would like it if we went through his background and talked about all the strip bars where he hung out in his younger days or perhaps some of the strippers he may have tried to date. That would be fair, right Drew? -Riley

A European court says the idea a new supercollider project could create a "celestial vacuum" and eventually consume the Earth is worth discussing, but the project can move forward on schedule anyway.

At dispute is what could happen should planned experiments at the supercollider built near Geneva by the European Organization for Nuclear Research, or CERN, go awry when the massive atomic particle smasher is fired up about this time next week.

Police say Michael Hild fired twice at Melbourne police before officers shot back. The officers were authorized to shoot until the threat was over. In this case, 18 bullets were fired.
