Soft Bites (Bill's Bites, Page 2) -- 2006.10.04 Contributed by Bill Faith
Stuff that didn't quite make Bill's Bites. Continuously updated, newest items at the top.
I'm backdating this post for today only. Beginning tomorrow "Soft Bites" will carry an early AM timestamp, just prior to "Bill's Bites."
Gonna try a little experiment here and see how it works out. Sometimes as I surf the web I run across something that's more "human interest" than "hard news," more "entertainment" than "news" at all, and I have to stop and consider "Is that worth pushing everything on Bill's Bites" down the page to make room for, and maybe having to move something more important "below the fold?" "Sure it's a cute cartoon but George is still on dial-up. Will he appreciate it enough to justify the download time?" "So, really, what do baseball and football have to do with the price of bullets in Beirut?" Solution(?): A separate post for "Page 2 or 3" stuff that I don't want to clutter the front page with but don't want to ignore completely. Enter "Soft Bites." Is this my answer? Bark at me.

Suicide bombs for Palestinian children? Okay. Hanging teenagers in the public square for engaging in Mark Foley-esque activities? Okay.
Rubbing one out during the month of fasting?
Although it sort of depends, as you’ll see if you read the article.
Not our normal fare around here, I know, but the rest of the blogosphere is busy writing posts about Foleygate with one hand and I wanted to keep our site comparatively clean.

There’s so much social pathology to unpack here, I don’t know where to start.
So let’s just go with the Simpsons quote:
Waiter: Cigarette, Mrs. McClure? Troy: You bet! From now on she’s ! ...
Queens is on fiah!
4-4 in the 7th, though. I’m nervous.
Let’s see if we get a retraction out of Wonkette now.
Thanks to for finding this.
Update: How did Sean do it? ...
