David Brooks Throws His Pureed Peas
I think Obama just ate David Brooks’ lunch, cus Brooksie is cryyyyyyying.
We must close the book on the bleeding wounds of the old politics of division and sail our ship up a mountain of hope and plant our flag on the sunrise of a thousand tomorrows with an American promise that will never die! [...]
Quickies Before the Weekend
I’ll be bluegrass festivaling this weekend, so i wanted to link to a few quickies.
Damn right you’re gonna get it PJ. President Bush likes his naps and his vacations, and if you wake him up, he’s liable to crush your testicles.
Speaking of President Bush and sleeping on the job, it’s the Third Anniversary of Hurricane [...]
Reality Shows
Around 8:00 PM last night, Christina and I clicked on the TV and began looking for something to watch.

That’s how I’ve felt since I rolled out of bed at 6:30 or so today. I’m not sure what it is or why, but I have this terrible feeling that something really f-ed up is on the way…
Deep Thought
Life’s most pleasurable aspects are our most simple biological functions: eating delicious food; drinking, whether it’s cool water, hot coffee, or cold beer; taking a healthy piss; taking a shit; fucking; and falling asleep.
As long as I’m able to enjoy these things, I don’t have to live in a mansion or have a fancy car.
Comedy. F-ing. GOLD.
Watch the whole thing as a local FOX affiliate “reporter” Griff Jenkins (love love love that name) tries to interview “far left protestors”. It starts with someone telling Griff to “fuck off” and gets better from there. Awesome. Watch Griff plead “Awww, c’mon that’s not necessary!”
That, my friends, is what we call “comedy [...]
