Remember the good old days when this site used to care about politics? Now it's just dogs and food.

Oh sure, go ahead and try that. Delete all the downloaded files, throw out your classic magazines and videotapes, remove all of your browser bookmarks.

Wednesdays in general are going to be pretty awesome for the next few months. My kayaking class starts this evening. Candy Wednesday at the office. The Texas Chili Queens food truck was parked in front of the office today, as an added bonus.

To be fair, there probably are a lot of people out there who are unconsciously biased against him for being gay, which is easily covered up by pointing out that he is stupid.

I accidentally stumbled across a song called "Everybody Wants to Be Poppy (acoustic)" by That Poppy on YouTube. I don't know why, but I am completely obsessed with this song. There's something about the way she sings it that captivates me. None of her other songs do it for me, and I find her trying-to-be-creepy videos…

I made cucumber water. Chopped up a couple cucumbers and put them in a pitcher of water. It tastes exactly like cucumber.

I've been getting into vinyl for home stereo listening. Sounds fucking great, most of the time. But I've gotten a few records recently that have been warped or shallowly grooved, and they skip like crazy. Brand new records! I bought Master of Puppets last week, and it skipped on every revolution on the very first…

Mark Arm hit on my girlfriend while I was standing right there with my arm around her. Fuck that guy.

And practices Jeet Kune Do.

Let me guess: two hours of Spike and Vicious glaring at each other.

If it turns out that guy he shot in the middle of 5th Ave was Tom Hanks. All aboard the Impeachment Express!

One of my favorite parts of the book is when the narrator is trying to figure out why his dad keeps going to the city, carrying a briefcase.

If you pay tax, your money might accidentally be used to help brown people. If you give to your segregated church, that's less likely to happen.

I'd hardly call him tolerant. Bill, like most people, has a complicated public persona. He's controversial because he sits right on that line between being too much of an asshole and just the right amount of asshole. It's honestly not surprising that one joke would seemingly push him over the side — especially an…

I don't think it's about being offended. It's about calculated risk - as you said, a politician move. Ice Cube can afford to go on the show and maybe call it out (which Maher would brush off, solving nothing) or maybe pretend like it didn't happen.

Context: was there any? Like, did he say it during an impression of a redneck? That would still be "illegal," but maybe only a misdemeanor.

I bet your kids could probably handle Emory Peak, the highest point in Big Bend. It's a little under 10 miles round trip, with panoramic views about 3 miles in.

I read a Cracked article about underrated movies recently, and decided to take a chance on Goon. Was not disappointed.

I hiked 6 miles in heat and humidity with no breeze at all and it was miserable. Spent most of Sunday trying to setup my mom's new Kindle: over the phone. I've had better weekends, that's for damn sure.

That's the thing about "locker room talk" - you say that shit because you know nobody important is listening. Consequence-free speech is a thing that can only exist when there are no consequences. The things you say when you're alone with your friends are different from the things you say when you're at church for…
