Nothing will change. This country is a fucking joke.

LeGuin shout! I thought Larry Summers settled the debate on this....fucking asshat.

I usually find Jezebel one of the more interesting of the gawker family sites. This post (not your comment, the post) is....not interesting.

It's the advertiser's obligation to peddle bullshit and make people want things they don't need. It's a morally bankrupt profession.

In other unsurprising news, capitalism is insidious. If folks can't parse TV for commercials, well, we really have lost all hope.

Nice - will have to check out Mixed-Up. Doesn't sound like I could stomach the other. I refuse to recognize the crappy cartoon atrocity that attempted to do Earthsea.

Forgot about the Tripods. Those were good.

I f'ing loved Chronicles of Prydain. Still give it out as gifts to kids in the extended family.

Only one I can think of, but strip clubs aren't my thing.

sigh. boring. take 'er easy man. super-weak troll effort.

Men in Blazers salute you.
