Haha, yeah!

Not even close to being the same as the GOP —- primarily, because Rousey happens to be the best in the world at what she does, and deserves all the attention and accolades she receives. This is in stark contrast to Palin, Bachmann, etc., who were incompetents masquerading as hacks.

I feel ya. The Washington team is cursed by Native Spirits. Our Lions are only cursed by Bobby Layne.

I’m a New Yorker. I was here at the time. People were both nervous and excited to have a WS game here (even if it was the Yankers —- go, METS!), because we needed to have something that felt “normal” —- quote marks there, ‘cause there’s not much “normal” in NYC, ever —- but for the most part, Bush being in town was a…

This person is not a comedian. She is a hateful jackass who, lacking any discernible skills in any performance discipline, decides that she can go on YouTube, spout some ridiculous “observations”, and then identify herself as a “comedian”.

Has there been anything better named than the “Chocolate Thunder flyin’, glass flyin’, Robizine cryin’, parents cryin’, babies cryin’, glass still flyin’, rump roasting, bun toasting, thank you wham ma’am I am’ jam” ?

Not to worry. I happen to know this only because I read that essay for a paper I was writing many, many years ago for a PoliSci class. Nutshell version, I was making the case that it was just a matter of time before candidates for political office in the USA would adapt aspects of pro wrestling-style promos in order…

Essay was written in 1957, as part of Mythologies. First published in English in 1972.

Unless those kids were drinking heavily, they were NOT playing softball.

In spite of my life-long allergy to pretty much All Things “Pop”, I’ve arrived at a place where I actually think that Miley’s pretty damn cool (it was her performance of “50 Ways” on that SNL anniversary show that tipped the scales in her favor —— she straight killed that shit!).

Oh, that’s not irrational, at all. Buying any part of Huckabee’s bullshit? That is irrational.

It’s typical that he tries to wrap his nonsense in the Mystic Cloak of Concern for the true victim. This guy is hideous.

Ah, good times!

My favorite, too! I think he sent that as his announcement that he was retiring. From Twitter.

My favorite line of the entire season came when Vince Vaughan is acting all mock-mean to his wife as he attempts to convince her to leave town without him, but she’s not buying the ruse and tells him: “You can’t act for shit!”

Hey! I like you, too!
