What is up with the Christian focus on this list? Just look at the titles of the “Most commented posts”. Scary. Also, I take issue with religion being in the 6 key area of your life. My life got better the moment I removed religion from it.

Me, too. But it is a Christian blog, so it'll inevitably include relevant material.

Well, Patrick, there's always bacon and lolcats instead of zombie-blogging.

Well, as a White American who was seriously involved with an Indian-American girl for a couple of years in the past, I can really get the lycanthropy metaphor. The poor girl was trapped between her traditional parents and her Americanized self.

This can't end well.

Merry Christmas from Chiron Beta Prime
Where we've been working in a mine
For our robot overlords
Did I say 'overlords'?
I meant protectors!

Why isn't Alex on this list?

Good call, if they die after having a stake put through the heart then we know they were vampires.

To paraphrase Buffy, you'd be amazed at how many things a stake through the heart will kill.

I like how these phonies try to make themselves “honorable.” Funny how this one person that wants to show the world what a ‘great’ guy he is, can only pontificate because of the insane amounts of wealth he has. No doubt he has a nice chunk of change from his massive bonuses and insane salary amounts from previous years, not to mention the fancy penthouse suites, cars, and yachts. There is no way the rank and file could afford to quit like that. We have bills to pay and mouths to feed.

The man had a salary of $1 a year. Other than that, his only compensation was his retention bonus -- which AIG agreed to pay him, by contract. What is wrong with demanding to be paid that which he was promised? What is right about the federal government stealing that money because he and his co-workers are unpopular?

If government can simply take money away from those that the mob dislikes, then none of us are safe.

Too bad for every thoughtful man that has a vasectomy there’s 15 other morons spreading their genes to innumerable idiot women and spawning an army of little morons to continue the cycle.

As the movie Idiocracy suggested, I and others have contributed to what is a downward spiral, rather than a cycle.

Hey Alex -- this gives me an idea for the next Neatorama promotional offer!

I'm fairly sure that Benson was supposed to take place in Minnesota.

Neat map, though.

Well, of course they wasted it on bonuses. If you reward bad behavior, you get more bad behavior.

Happy Birthday, Johnny Cat!

I've worked with people named Retunja and Niptheria.

When my wife and I were thinking about babynames for our daughter, I suggested Ursula. You know, the strength of a bear would be a good name to live up to. She nixed it firmly.

I didn't know that they had a show. It's about time.

Ted has gotten right to heart of the problem.
