another halloween wasted
Awesome costume ideas I won’t be able to act upon since I’ve been stuck at fucking work for the last week:
1) Whole Foods MILF
2) Creepy American Apparel-clad hipster (with short short gym shorts AND Members Only jacket)
3) Hunter S. Thompson
4) Phil Akka, a dude I work with. I actually considered shaving my head just to [...]
sadly plausible
From Time’s Karen Tumulty:
But here’s a tantalyzing possibility: If Stevens were somehow to squeak through this election, and then be forced to resign after exhausting his appeals, might Sarah Palin decide to appoint … Sarah Palin?
You know, I wouldn’t be surprised, and that depresses me.
syria
Shooting war with Syria? Sweet.
It’s funny, Jon Stewart is always saying that Bush has one more crazy war left in him, invading Mexico or bombing Vancouver or something, who knew he’d actually be right?

Oh well. Nice knowing you John.
articles are interesting
I have a habit of reflexively dismissing the creative output of people I personally dislike that both annoys me and makes me slightly, darkly proud. Mark Ebner is one of those people. I remember crossing paths with him on an AOL Hollywood chatroom in the mid 90’s, back when it really was possible for all [...]
whoah
I feel like I can read the rebuttals already, Rolling Stone, bastion of liberalism, owned by an unabashed liberal, preaching to the converted, launches a sprawling hit piece on the man and myth of John McCain. Will anyone pay attention, will anyone even take the time to issue a point-by-point response, or will it simply [...]
There are now multiple outlets for those looking to ignore me and my thoughts via the internet(s).
I broke down and signed up for twitter, not because I just discovered it or finally found a use for it, but because there were a couple of people whose musings I wanted to keep better track of. One [...]
