Do people in New Orleans eat at Popeyes? Or would they disdain it as watered-down crap for the masses? I dunno. I live in New Mexico and people go to Taco Bell all the time, so maybe. Anyway, Popeyes is delicious!

Speaking of Poppy Z. Brite, did you know she's now a man named Billy Martin? I've been trying to wrap my mind around that for several years now. He's also pretty much destitute, so anyone who likes, uh, Brite's work should buy some of his paintings and jewelry and such on etsy.

Hey, library bathrooms aren't just for the homeless! I go to the one near my office all the time, because it's actually cleaner with less sandpapery TP than the one in my building.

He doesn't want to go with McDonald's because they're one of the world's leading supporters of inhumane factory food production.

So, Foer saying he wouldn't work with a company that hasn't had anything to do with Chipotle in eight years makes him a hypocrite?

Do you know that he isn't supporting public libraries?

Is this promotion diverting funds that were otherwise going to public libraries?

You know who else didn't like hyperbolic comparisons?

9/11 politicized a lot of people. Not necessarily for the best (Dennis Miller…good Lord).

You can have my torture when you pry it from my cold, fingernail-less hands.

I don't know if all that coated paper would be very effective as a fecal wipe.

Another Olympics already?

In fairness though, that's usually the case!

Even if you think voting for political candidates is pointless (which it mostly is until we get some meaningful campaign/election reform), you should still go vote, because there's usually some state/local initiative or issue up for decision that your vote can actually make a difference on.

I picture the Simpsons writers as Ricky Jay at the end of Boogie Nights, shrugging and saying "It is what it is."
