Isn't this a "Give what you can, take what you need" country? I certainly know that's why I haven't paid my taxes in over ten years.

MC Ham Rove's mixtape is blowing up on the streets!

It's true, we are so lame!

I'll need to hear about his Bart and Selma killing policies before I can make an informed decision.

Oh, hey! Yeah! That was a greeeaattt interview! At first I thought I was base-jumping off of Mount Vesuvius, just falling, ahhhhhh! But then I realized, hey, maybe I'm just in my apartment, giving an interview. I've never even been to Italy!

One benefit of being in the military is freeing myself of any post-apocalyptic existential dread. If the zombie apocalypse happens, I will be an early victim, undoubtedly dying while evacuating refugees or defending a hospital.

Like last week, I really like the sound direction, incorporating lots of urban 'emergency noises'-sirens, helicopters, etc. We, of course, know what this is about, but for the characters it is just another aspect of life in Los Angeles. Likewise, I think the episode did a great job of showing that moment when things…

I gotta go, my damn Wierny kids are internet commenting.

Au revoir, gopher!

Yeah, the sad part is that Stone's talk is actually valuable-High School is ultimately unimportant and it's okay to be a nerd. Soon enough you'll graduate and the QB will be fat and have already married and divorced the cheerleader. In this case, though, those kids were complete psychopaths and totally undeserving…

My earliest memory of Katrina is actually dismissing the possibility that it could be as bad as it turned out to be. I distinctly remember this weekend ten years ago-during of my my few phone calls home in my initial military training my mom mentioned that CNN was reporting New Orleans could be washed away. As a…

He gives an interview under the assumption that Harris and Klebold were basically the classic bullied suburban high school students, picked on by jocks and high strung parents and school administrators. Your typical, "The 'burbs suck and it's terrible that they snapped before they could get out of town" line of…

I think that Columbine is really fascinating, in that it dispels almost all of the conventional notions about the incident. I for years thought that one of the most insightful things Matt Stone ever said was part of the film Bowling For Columbine, and yet with the book we find out that this was completely…

I've been re-watching a metric fuck-ton of Daria recently, which certainly isn't helping in my quest to become less of a sarcastic misanthrope. I've also decided to start re-reading Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey Maturin series from the beginning, and finished the first book this week. I'm really fascinated by people…

I was thinking of Two Words, with Mos Def and Freeway. I know I'm a weirdo, but circa 2004 Kanye will always be the best Kanye to me…

I admit to loving Married, but after having been on somewhat of a history kick this past week I feel like I have to ask; is being married really this hard? It seems like people managed pretty goddamn fine prior to 1980, so is it actually so insufferable to get married and have a kid prior to turning 35, while…

My biggest memory of this album is definitely Gold Digger-I was in basic training during the summer of 2005, and this would always be on the radio during bus rides around the base. Strangely, it was always pared with Fallout Boy's "Sugar, We're Going Down". In my mind, these are the only two songs that were released…

It's weird to sometimes sit back and think that USA airs literally 2 decent shows. Two. And yet, it is broadcasting content 24 hours a day. Just think about the other 23 hours of the day…Crazy.

Be gone, Internet! The power of Christ compels you! The power of Christ compels you!

You just had to shoot up the Ambassador's dinner, didn't you! This is your last warning!
