A Pain in the Butt

Danny Gallagher — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 04:39:17 +0000

Everybody Run, the Homecoming Queen’s Got a Lawsuit

Danny Gallagher — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 05:26:41 +0000

The kind of people who would run for homecoming queen always left a sour taste in my mouth. Sure they are pretty and well spoken and seem nice up their with the scepter and tiara, but the amount of campaigning and cannoodling they have to do to get to that spot could make a Republican [...]

We strongly believe in the notion of separating church and state because if they team up and join forces, they could become an uber-strong churchstate that will rise up and rule over us all with its iron fist.

Disability is a huge tragedy in our reality. What’s even more tragic are the people willing to cash in on this unfortunate right at the expense of others just because they wear lousy perfume.

Some Parents Just Don’t Understand

Danny Gallagher — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 07:15:37 +0000

Some people should never become parents. You know the kind of people I’m talking about: parents who leave their kids in cars during the summer, parents who feed their kids fast food three times a day, parents who let their kids listen to Clay Aiken. These parents never should have become one either after they let [...]

Isn’t Jesus Supposed to Catch You When You Fall?

Danny Gallagher — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 08:05:17 +0000

I’ve always watched those evangelical preachers shows and wondered what happened to the people who faint and fall down when the preacher touches them? That’s easy, they sue the preacher.

Some Smelly Air Fare

Danny Gallagher — Fri, 30 May 2008 07:20:58 +0000

Airports suck. You wait in long lines to wait in more lines where you’re pulled out of one line to wait in another line so you can go back in that line to get to another line that ends with (surprise!) a line. Now one man, an attorney, has decided to sue an airline for making [...]

Covering Your Ass

Danny Gallagher — Fri, 16 May 2008 16:22:14 +0000

Sometimes I hate my job. I mean, I love that I get to report and write sarcastic comments for a living and actually get paid real money to do it, but I hate that part of my job involves cycling through Google images for a picture of a man in a Speedo. Good thing the [...]

Some Lesbos We Can’t Get Behind

Danny Gallagher — Sat, 03 May 2008 07:26:47 +0000

Just a word of warning, if you’re going to search for the word “lesbian” on Google Images (and who hasn’t), make sure you’re not at work and if you are at work and your boss catches you, make sure you do it on the computer with the bigger monitor so he doesn’t have to strain [...]

A Real Class Act

Danny Gallagher — Fri, 14 Mar 2008 07:55:24 +0000

On the one hand, I really can’t blame this guy for falling asleep in class. We’ve all done it, even the honor roll students nodded off every once in awhile during the English teacher’s Ayn Rand lecture. On the other hand, I also can’t blame this guy for filing a lawsuit because his obvious lack [...]
