A few thoughts on that debate.

When I lived in Philadelphia I lived at 20th and Spruce, two blocks from the worst bar in the world, an Irish Pub called, creatively, Irish Pub. It was as close to a suburban experience as you could get in a major urban area; the sort of place you would go if you had to [...]

Oo-ee, Oo-ah-ah. A former Pentecostal translates that Sarah Palin witchcraft video.

Pentecostals are a Christian sect whose most prominent charcteristic (other than the low entry barrier for ministerial ordination) is a penchant for ecstatic gibberish. In the video that’s been making the rounds (see below) Sarah Palin’s Pastor Muthee prays in English, but I still feel like his message is hard for layfolk to discern.  Because [...]

No, no it’s totally fine.

I was thinking over dinner about the amazing interview Sarah Palin gave about Russia. And then I was thinking about Risk, and how everyone know the way you win Risk is by quietly invading North America via Alaska through Kamchatka and that you have to defend that border or your society is swiftly annihilated, and [...]

okay wait so WHAT?

So I’m sitting here watching the latest Palin CBS news interview clip and I’m just going to shoot myself in the goddamn face and end it all. Also I’m trying to figure out where to watch the cocksucking debate tomorrow and if there will even be one because John McCain is having a mild stroke [...]

Okay so we’re about to have a depression. Today the Wall Street Journal called for a WPA-era-style “Resolution Trust Corporation,” which is basically like Sarah Palin ordering the tofu stir-fry. Now I’m not sure who these Lehman Brothers are, if they’re hot, if they are willing to “play together” since they need the money, or [...]

Seriously.

For the last week or so, my beleaguered better half has been calling me from the road with travel crises and genuine work stress, and my response is basically “yes, yes, okay, yes but WHAT ABOUT SARAH PALIN OMFG.” My friend Carl (who has small town values, btw) and my Pinko co-conspirator Stirling are perilously close [...]

“An issue I am frankly surprised to hear people suddenly care about…”

Oh, how I have missed you Saturday Night Live!

Sarah Palin isn’t a big fan of “Daddy’s Roommate”.

Ok, I’m sure this doesn’t really come as a shock to anyone but Sarah Palin, that weird unblinking hunchback running to be John McCain’s understudy, doesn’t approve of you and your dang alternative lifestyle. And she most certainly does not want anyone, least of all herself, reading books about it.
NYT (via Politico):
…in 1995, Ms. Palin, [...]

Is this effective, or too fringe lefty?

A time for Action! Sexy Vice Presidential Action!

According to an intelligence report being prepared for the next president, US dominance will decline in “political, economic and arguably, cultural arenas.” (Did we ever have dominance in cultural areas?) This is assuming, of course, the world isn’t swallowed by a black hole, destroyed by nuclear warfare in the Middle East, or reclaimed by God.
Isn’t [...]
