“i just asked my fingers if they are drunk” is the juzwiakism ne plus ultra

An investigation actually seems warranted. If she had done this as, like, a piece of performance art on her own time I’d be completely on her side. This happened in a classroom, though, and based on an 8 second clip someone should certainly try to figure out what the fuck was going on.

Just a note, and I say this as one of Obama’s biggest fans (I worked for his campaign way the fuck back when he was running in Illinois against goddamn Mike Ditka): Obama made some missteps early on in getting too close to Rezko that took all his acumen and a lot of luck to walk away from, and there was no way in hell…

Blago and George Ryan were an hilarious one-two punch of corruption and incompetence. Ryan was just an old school sourfaced crook, but Blago seemed to be a full fledged sociopath who may honestly believe he never did anything wrong.

as easy as a nuclear war indeed

Idiot! It was the Romanov DUDE who did the cursing in Thinner.

This is my favorite Steely Dan cover. I wish I could have found a version with different pics to go along with the song, because unfortunately there is a pic in the slideshow of Wilco standing around with Obama. That guy is such a poseur—where was he during the Uncle Tupelo days? Just another bandwagon dude, coming…

When I was a punk rocker back in the 90s, a lot of jerkoff skinhead types were adamant they were, and I quote, “Not racists, but *racialists*. We don’t hate anybody, but if people can be proud of being black why can’t we be proud of being white?” I was always fucking agog by how successful this strategy was with a lot…

I know. It’s like that time Homer was fixated on Thomas Edison and was shoehorning in references to Edison everywhere. And so Marge said, “Maybe Edison had time to do all those things because he didn’t spend every waking moment boring people with stories about Thomas Edison.” And Homer said, “That’s where you’re…

disruptive af tbh

that Process is not dead which can eternal lie/and with strange aeons even death may die

seems unlikely....but there’s a first time for everything.

PJ O’Rourke, back in the early 80s through the early 90s, was as good as it got at building up his targets before he started landing punches to make it look like he was the plucky underdog speaking truth to power. He’s also one of the few legit funny right-of-center dudes in my lifetime.

Sorry, LIB, but it’s hardly the first actual case of voter fraud in this country!

Virtually all of the Jews I know in the US (admittedly this is mostly of the hyper-intellectual, East Coast left-wing variety) are already 1) VERY critical of the current Israeli government’s handling of Palestinian issues, 2) *adamantly and vociferously* in favor of doing everything possible for refugees from…

yes that is fucking genius
