@empty.bin: Deep in my heart, I wanted to read, “The ego is a hoodie.” (Exhibit A: Mark Zuckerberg.)

@wrennee2: Man, I loved that. Metaphor of the day.

Whoa, it never occurred to me that this would be an ... issue.

@strasse: I feel bad making a joke, because I think both works—Roubini’s wall installation and McClanahan’s door—are intriguing and fun, great conversation pieces.

At this very moment, Nouriel Roubini is preparing his bid for that door.

@LateGreatYishan: Brospeak and things like keg-stands are one thing. I was afraid of misogynistic bullshit: “Bro, bang a fat chick, get 5 points!”

I wonder if they pitched this game as “Mafia Wars for aging co-eds”?

Sheesh. Arab families tend to be big, sprawling affairs. It’s inevitable that someone’s Lebanese cousin was a martyr at some point!

Whoa, score for Jezebel. Congrats all around.

On the bright side, people whose lives and outlook are dominated by a single narrow ideology can be easily manipulated in the public sphere.

His sigh + eyebrow-raise at the end had more acting in it than the last two decades of the show.

@turbosix.net: Keep it latched! Otherwise, don’t be surprised if all these homosexuals keep sucking your cock.

@turbosix.net: Wait’ll you meet the gay ones. IT WILL BLOW YOUR MIND.

I hope she is on the Republican ticket in 2012. Her incompetence was already enough of a problem. Now we can add “evil mother-in-law” to the mix. Trying to keep a father from seeing his child is beyond offensive. At this point, I doubt many men would support a ticket with her on it. #goingroguereview

I’m getting “swarthy gypsy” more than anything else, but I think the point about blackface still holds. #stevenkleinblackface

More than 50 sexual partners = “We are unable to perform this calculation.” The world suddenly seems a lot smaller, more cozy.

Has anyone made a Swift-boat joke yet? I’m a little late to this party.

She is a beautiful woman. She has great style. The prudes can shut it. That is all.

On a positive note, when she appears on talk shows, she comes across as mature, confident, and in control. She’s well spoken for a person her age and does not seem stupid or drug addled. She tries a little too hard to impress, but for teenagers that’s par for the course.

Your writing has been a vicarious thrill and a lasting gift. Thrilling: I lived a little more fabulously through your incredible career. Lasting: I saw a lot more clearly by your illuminating mind. Thank you for your words, and good luck.
