I Am So Glad It’s Friday
I am so tired of work, or politics, of writing, of blogging, of hanging out around the house, of waiting for my goddamn alt beer to hurry up and finish fermenting (I realize the weather’s been cold, but SHEESH!).
Weekend. Weekend. Zone. Weekend.
Adam Nagourney’s Firm Grasp of the Obvious
Holy Shit! You mean the GOP wioll mount negative attacks on Obama if he’s the nominee???
[I]f Mr. Obama becomes the Democratic presidential nominee, he is sure to face an onslaught from Republicans and their allies that will be very different in tone and intensity from what he has faced so far.
In the last few [...]
Garfield Minus Garfield
Garfield Minus Garfield.
As the banner says “Who would have guessed that when you remove Garfield from the Garfield comic strips, the result is an even better comic about schizophrenia, bipolor disorder, and the empty desperation of modern life?”
Some samples (but really, you have to visit):
Brilliant. Totally fucking brilliant. I don’t know who you are GMG [...]
Read More..>>I Have a Reason to Be Hostile.
Every couple of weeks (or days depending on my mood), I like to call up Arlen Specter’s office and remind his staff that he’s a stupid fucking asshole. The conversation usually goes like the one I had this morning, after putting 3 gallons of gas in my van, at $3.11 a gallon.
“Hi there, it’s [...]
Philadelphia Shootings
Yesterday was a bad day in North Philadelphia
IT WAS A MOTHER’S worst nightmare.
Mirta Rodriguez looked out the window of her second-floor North Philadelphia apartment a little after noon Saturday and saw her 16-year-old son, Mark Anthony Rivera, sprawled on the sidewalk, riddled with bullets.
He had dared to diss another youth, cops and witnesses said – [...]
Crybaby Guitar Wankers
A few months ago, I posted some of the funniest youtubes I’ve seen in a long time: the notorious “Shreds” series, in which some crazy person overdubbed himself playing guitar badly over footage of guitar heroes like Jake E. Lee, Eric Clapton, Iron Maiden, and carlos Santana.
Well, someone complained and now they’ve all been pulled [...]
MoDo Does Her Trick
Maureen Dowd does her one trick today. It’s called “sex panic”, in which Hillary Clinton is portrayed as a man (albeit an impotent man, this time), while Barack Obama is portrayed as a woman, or more specifically, as a girl. It’s the one thing Dowd, who has never been married and has no [...]
Read More..>>I Have Not Slept in Two Days
It’s 5:30 AM, the second night in a row without any sleep. I finally gave up tossing and turning and decided to let the chip[s fall where they may. I had a busy weekend planned but I’m not sure if that’s going to happen now. Depends on whether I get some sleep [...]
Read More..>>Captain Petard
Well, well, well. Look who got caught sticking his dingaling in a woman who’s not his [second] wife.
A female lobbyist had been turning up with him at fund-raisers, visiting his offices and accompanying him on a client’s corporate jet. Convinced the relationship had become romantic, some of his top advisers intervened to protect the candidate [...]
A Heaping Bowl of Scornflakes
Building upon my scorn for those who tell ridiculous self-serving lies because they’re biased against a given candidate, last night’s episode of “NightLine”, a show that has fallen into a death spiral since Koppel left and the odious right-wing apologist Terry Moran took over, sank to new depths last night with “Obama’s Personality Cult”.
As the [...]
