I clicked the link, read the disclaimer, realized I wasn't going to hear Steve Albini, and was out.

Money on the table, this is the best pun I'll read today.

That's not what your mom said last night.

Nooooope.

No one on this streets-behind board, certainly.

So wait, children's television star Melissa Joan Hart has been a nihilist, Nazi, and a witch?  Has anyone alerted Fox News?  In the time they've been jumping at the shadows of socialist Muppets, the real thing has been going down in the 1990's.

Man, having children really does change things.

I'm about halfway through this, and for as relentlessly awful as a decent amount of this is, it's a strangely thought provoking piece of pop cultural history.  There's something pretty striking about how gloomy all of this is given that Clarissa was sort of the Miley Cyrus of yesteryear.  I was a little kid during the

I'd be pretty surprised if that would matter.  I think Americans have a vague notion that Pakistan is mountainous, but I'm guessing the ordinary person on the street wouldn't know that Pakistan doesn't look like the Sahara.

Oh man, I just remembered I haven't watched The Office yet today!  Thanks, @avclub-e57dbebc740250d2c4a370cf6ccb35f0:disqus!

You'll have to speak up, I'm deaf to nuance. Also I take offense at the idea that I don't already know everything I need to about everyone else. Also I might not care.

What's the issue between India and Pakistan?  They're all Arabic, for Pete's sake!

Album of the Year Grammy  winners sell out, collide with mainstream!!
