Rachel Setzer's blog

In the past 24 hours there have been at least two posts about the subject of dating, and while it's not really a news topic (as I am billed as being the provider of), or even necessarily a progressive topic (as the blog site is billed as promoting), I'd like to say a few things on this very misunderstood topic.

No one is actually certain at this point, (especially the French), but reports have claimed that last month, Osama bin Laden met with a deadly bought of typhoid while hiding out in Pakistan. (For those who are unfamiliar with typhoid, or typhoid fever, it’s an intestinal disease that always killed your party when you were playing the early computer game

Because if he is dead, he can’t be the boogie man, and the American people won’t be afraid any more. If Osama did not, in fact, die of typhoid, October will be the perfect time for him to make a new video letting us all know that he just had a wicked bout of food poisoning from some bad hummus, but he’s fine now, and he’s shipping the rest of the offending hummus to Americans randomly selected from the CIA’s civilian database.  Read More »
