One of the many reasons why I couldn’t be a professional comedian: Amy Poehler makes jokes, whereas my natural response to Congress’ assault on women’s rights involves pitchforks, torches, and a an inevitable trip to Gitmo. « thedailywhat

Blah blah blah holiday blah
This time of year, to honor the she-wolf who supposedly suckled founding brothers Romulus and Remus, the ancient Romans would paint themselves with blood and milk (symbols of fertility) and run through the streets—clothed only in hide loincloths, if at all—striking anyone they came across (especially women) with whips. So, let’s celebrate. Line forms to the left.

The Anti-Inspiration of True Genius
I’m kind of glad I didn’t get around to reading much David Foster Wallace until recently. I’ve just finished the entirety of Consider the Lobster (the essay collection, not just the article originally published in Gourmet), and if I hadn’t completed the process of applying to MFA programs prior to reading it, I’m not sure any of my applications would’ve made it...

Link is to a PDF of the summary press release. Here are some bullet points, if you don’t want to go play with CFED’s (rather comprehensive) website about the findings: More than half of consumers (56 percent) have subprime credit scores. Between the third quarters of 2008 and 2011, the home foreclosure rate increased by 50 percent, widening the already-considerable homeownership gap...

Robert Reich: Why No Responsible Democrat Should... →
Robert Reich would like to drop some serious (and perfectly correct) doomsaying on every anti-Republican giddy with the notion of a Gingrich candidacy: I’d take a 49 percent odds of a Mitt Romney win – who in my view would make a terrible president – over a 10 percent possibility that Newt Gingrich would become the next president – who would be an unmitigated disaster for America and the...

I’m retiring, Lucas said. I’m moving away from the business, from the company, from all this kind of stuff. You’d better fucking stick to that, George.

Americans for a Better Tomorrow, Tomorrow: “If you believe corporations are people, Mitt Romney is a serial killer”. If Colbert (or his SuperPAC, which he is now no longer associated with in any way, because our campaign finance laws are a joke) doesn’t win every Excellence in Journalism award in the world, there is no justice.

Former Senator Rick Santorum—inventor of the frothy mixture of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the by-product of anal sex—tries to explain that he wasn’t saying “black people” when describing welfare leaches; he was just saying “blah people”. So, besides being a bigoted, anti-free-speech, blame-the-sick, public-money-misappropriating, exemplar of corruption,...
