This is James Brown
I wanna talk to you about one of our
Most deadly
Killers in the country today
I had a dream the other night, and I
Was sittin' in my living room

(Ahem) The correct plural is "greats jobs, internettes."

Wait, how is a "Lemon party" joke racist?

Was anyone ever on both MadTV and SNL? Not at the same time, of course. I mean, did anyone have both shows on their resume?

"Wait the fuck on"?

What does one eat at Thanksgiving there?

Putin rules Russia, the vastly more powerful country. That has a multiplier effect on his assholery.

The lack of freedom of speech coupled with Turkey's obstinate commitment not to do much of anything fighting against ISIS just for fear that it might help out the Kurds had me wondering why the fuck we consider them allies. I'm pretty glad NATO didn't even appear to consider for a moment unifying behind Turkey after

As evidenced by her growing ever lovelier with each passing year. It ain't natural!
