Skepchick Quickies 4.4
Well, the other Skepchicks are on party boats in the South Pacific, drinking cheap whiskey and “busy” with “work”… so I’M TAKING OVER THE MOFO QUICKIES TODAY! Prepare yourselves, kids. These are the quickies OF YOUR LIFE.* Today is 4/4/13 and 1+3=4 so today is like 4/4/4. Which probably means something… like Sparklecorn.

AI: Fools
Yesterday was April Fools’, a special holidday for assholes act like themselves and then be like WHAT? IT’S APRIL FOOLS! LIGHTEN UP, BRAH. The entire world turns into scammers and the entire world turns into skeptics. I admit that I am a huge fan of the well-done prank. Historically, I’m a lover of April Fools’ Day. But lately I’m finding…

AI: Prop 8 with a side of “Life”
Today, SCOTUS (that’s the Supreme Court of the US… and not to be confused with any male genitalia) heard testimony regarding Prop 8, the California amendment banning anything that is not good old fashioned opposite-sex marriage.

AI: Vax Games!
It’s March Madness. I’m not a big sports person. I’m not a big college sports person. And I’m not a big gambler. But I am a big raising-money-to-save-the-world person. And I am a big desperately-needs-to-win-despite-my-complete-incompetence person.

I just sat the kids down in front of…

AI: Free Range Organic Gluten Free Kale
Food. What the hell, right? Who even knows what’s healthy anymore? I’m pretty much at the point where if I see something in the health-food aisle, I assume it’s stupid, over priced, and overhyped. I feel like just going ahead and letting my kids become illiterate… which is apparenlty exactly the kind of thing that happens if you ever let…

AI: I am a grown up
It occurred to me that I might be a grown up. I mean, I look around and all my friends are like full grown fucking adults. They have jobs, own businesses, own houses… some of them own multiple houses. They have cars. And graduate degrees. And then I was like wow… I’m 36 and married and have kids and know people with…
