[the dumbest thing ever written?]

August 25th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Well, there’s probably dumber, but this is definitely the most embarrassing thing I’ve read all week. Here’s noted retard Glenn Beck trying to explain why taxing rich people is bad, using a straw-man “liberal whiner” and attempting to refute it with an NFL metaphor:
‘I’m just talking about leveling the playing field, to give everyone [...]

[an open debate]

August 23rd, 2008 · 3 Comments

So Rahm Emmanuel and Lindsay Graham have worked out the details with the CPD on the Presidential Debates. The news isn’t particularly surprising- same format as ‘04 and ‘00, for the most part, with three debates between McCain and Obama and one between the VPs, which sounds like a silly undercard but which is where [...]

[go veep yourself]

August 18th, 2008 · 2 Comments

Ever since Obama sent out that email to his supporters promising them the opportunity to learn his VP nominee via text message instead of two minutes later on the Internet or television- which was fucking brilliant, by the way, now that they have 2 million cell phone numbers, which are political gold and making an [...]

And now Brett Favre is the starting quarterback for the New York Jets.

[train wreck alert!]

August 6th, 2008 · 6 Comments

You’ll be forgiven if you’ve not heard of An American Carol, David Zucker’s follow-up to Scary Movie 3 and Scary Movie 4, set to precede Scary Movie 5 (seriously, there are five of those fucking things). There’s no trailer, and the movie doesn’t even have an official web page. But, oh, you’re missing out on [...]

[on playing 'the age card']

August 5th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Dan Savage is one of the smartest writers working today, and he’s got a particularly keen grasp on American culture. But he’s totally wrong when he says that the way for Obama to win is to hit back at McCain with a Rove-style blitz designed to highlight the age thing. In a response to an [...]
