Quick Hits: Final Judgment, Armageddon, End of Days edition
• Today in the DNC Rules and Bylaws Committee will meet to decide the fate of the hundreds of billions of voters in Florida and Michigan who don’t watch TV, or read newspapers, and didn’t get the memo that their votes weren’t supposed to be counted. Unfortunately the committee can’t do anything about the estimated [...]
Giant vulva bike taxi, anyone?
Step one: Get thee to Helsinki. Step two: Get inside Finnish performance artist Mimosa Pale’s giant disembodied vagina mounted to her bike. Step three: Enjoy. (Thanks to Elicia for the find! Also her NAME is Mimosa how fabulous is that?)
Enough with the cranes already!
If you’ve looked at the New York City skyline recently, then you know that, as a city, we are crapping out (up?) more abominable Gerhy-esque condos then there are Saudi princes to buy them to use as gold bar storage. The fervor to fulfill the seemingly endless demand for these buildings has led to some [...]
Saline solution you can look right in the eye.
I noticed this morning that my roommate had picked up some cruelty-free, socially-responsible saline solutionfrom the co-op. It’s called “Clear Conscience.” I was pretty floored because — as a gay Cancerian Jew with a Catholic father — I can pretty much self-hate myself over anything, but it had never once even occurred to me to [...]
Three really bad people.
(1) Fuck John McCain for doing nothing when Hurricane Katrina happened, then creating this faux-civil-rights, straight-talk-express=freedom riders, now I care bullshit. This is amazing and awful and turns my stomach. (Henry, you found this for me!)
Pinko’s “Sex and The City” EXCLUSIVE.
One of the benefits of working across the street from Rockefeller Center is that I get to see all kinds of cool things on my way to the subway. (Kenan Thompson wears awful pipe leg jeans! Russell Simons has a really fancy car!!) Last night when I left work I found the Sex and [...]
This is good news, right?
The Department of Transportation said figures from March show the steepest decrease in driving ever recorded. I realize that the decrease in driving is because the economy is tanking and we’re all going to end up living in Hoovervilles and eating canned tuna for Christmas dinner, but it’s long been a goal of environmentalists to [...]
Well shit, I guess I have plantar warts.
This article in the Times yesterday totally depressed me. Basically since I’m a big closeted ex-hippie and I used to go to Phish concerts (Great Went ‘98 woot woot! Or something!) I love to walk around barefoot during the Spring and Summer, but according to the article New York City and it’s parks may be [...]
Sexism, Racism and Presidential Politics
2008 has taught us a lot, but mostly it has taught us about ourselves. For instance, we have learned that all Hillary Clinton supporters are racists, all Obama supporters are sexists, and Republicans just hate everyone, even their own nominee.
But did you know that all Americans are actually jerky sexist racists?How else can you explain [...]
Will Ron Paul people derail the RNC?
I’m sorry but these people are just crazy. This article today quotes a bunch of Ron Paul supporters as seeing essentially no difference between Ron Paul and Ralph Nader, and that except for “abortion and guns” they embody essentially the same ideals. Uhm, kind of (no war, etc.) except for Ralph Nader and his supporters [...]
