It took me looking at my dashboard for all of twelve seconds before I scrolled to a post about something something Occupy Wall Street whites only blah blah something racism something social networking something something totally misunderstood and blown up to epic proportions about whatever the fuck armchair activists just want to get riled up because they can’t get boners any other way but...

Saturday Night Live - “TV Funhouse: Maraka” (2008)
During our periodic, but intense, Dora and Diego periods, only liquor and the memory of this Robert Smigel parody can preserve me.
La problema? The WAY Dora SCREAMS every THIRD or fourth SYLLable makes me senTIR que me esTOY volviendo LOCO! Can YOU say justiFIable HOMicide?
And, the staring? My GOD, the staring.
Oh mercy. It’s...

If you took one look at this barista as I did and saw an LDS wife (ankle length denim skirt, white shirt buttoned to the neck, utilitarian eyewear, hair pulled back, no make-up) and you were so blindly prejudiced and judgmental about it that you figured there was no way in hell she could pull a decent espresso, you would be correct, actually.
Laughing Out Loud
NPR interview with Bill O’Reilly about Lincoln, oh man. You need to find it and listen to it because, oh mercy, you have never heard a human being speak with as much ignorance and lack of self-awareness. He spends quite a bit of time decrying the hostility of modern news media. Dude, you are the Columbus of that New World.
In Terra Nova, there are a few waterfalls, some dinosaurs, and a whole lot of squinty eyes giving meaningful sidelong glances.

WHAT A DEAL!
regarding protests
jakke:
I might be missing the point here, but if you can’t come up with a best-case scenario for what you want your protest to achieve and a plausible series of events which would lead to the realization of that scenario, then doesn’t it seem like a huge waste of time and effort?
It is much better to live life like an IKEA manual than to strike out into the unknown. While you may not ever see...

Members of the news media: the New York City Police Department’s Deputy Commissioner for Public Information (DCPI) is at (646) 610-6700. The Mayor’s Press Office is at (212) 788-2958. Do your jobs and call them and ask why this happened. Ask why the NYPD is resorting to netting to make arrests during a PEACEFUL PROTEST — on a WEEKEND, no less. And ask them why SOME police...

Wired.com: Fresh Evidence for FBI’s Anti-Islam... →
Oh hey, no biggie. The nation’s primary anti-terrorism unit uses as reference a bunch of crazy right wing Islamophobic literature full of all the old goodies: that Islam is by nature violent, that Islam is by nature anti-women, that Islam is fundamentally incompatible with democracy, and so on.
Hey idiots: your job is finding needles, not haystacks. Your allergies to hay are beside the...

I'm Kind of a Big Deal
OK, so I gave the keynote talk to open up this symposium for a bunch of VP corporate types today and during my presentation I had to buttclench so tight I started sweating for fear of ripping a nasty, and then later while at my table, I let out about ten thousand silent but deadlies that were roiling my insides and for a minute there I thought I solided, but what’s even worse is that I just...

Looking for some mindless fun, I caught The Expendables on Netflix Instant. It was OK overall but I found it astonishing that the worst acting, by far, wasn’t by any of the aging action heroes, ex-professional wrestlers, or MMA stars, but by the dude who so admirably plays Angel Batista on Dexter. Wow.

Rabbit Hole of Internet Despair
The article Chat Logs has been making the rounds.
It is really good, but do not read it unless you want wet cheeks. It’s by the girlfriend of a man who died from cancer at 33. She is haunted by his email and gchat history, for better and for worse. I read it on my phone over lunch yesterday and had to look away and take deep breaths to regain my composure.
Halfway through reading it, it hit me,...
