Thursday, January 31st, 2008is over. Turns out I can’t write concisely.*
*Except on this post.
Morning Joe is the best Baltimore crime epic in television history
Thursday, January 31st, 2008For those who haven’t watched Morning Joe before, it’s this really awesome sitcom that runs on MSNBC in the mornings. It’s actually a little bit like The Larry Sanders Show with its unlikeable but hilarious host/protagonist and convention of getting prominent public figures to come on the show and play themselves getting interviewed by the […]
The Iron Law
Wednesday, January 30th, 2008In today’s episode of TPMtv, Josh discusses the likelihood that a whole bunch of influential Republicans are going to start coming out of the woodwork and doing everything they possibly can to destroy McCain’s candidacy. Which his pretty funny, considering that by doing so they’re basically sabotaging their party’s shot at the general election.
Take a […]
More on Florida
Wednesday, January 30th, 2008You may have heard that since the Democratic Party saw fit to punish Florida by stripping it of all of its delegates (I’m not going to go into the specifics of why, except to say that it’s Florida and that might very well be reason enough), Hillary Clinton’s decisive win yesterday only netted her magical, […]
Fun Facebook Games
Wednesday, January 30th, 2008No, I don’t want to play Zombie Pirates versus Vampire Ninjas or whatever. And no, I don’t care which one of us is hotter. In fact, this game doesn’t require any of the annoying apps that people keep trying to sign you up for.
Alright, imagine this: you’re a freshman at a large university. The summer […]
Belated Florida blogging
Wednesday, January 30th, 2008Yeah, no liveblogging of the debate last night. After I saw that McCain was going to seal this one up, Peter and I got caught up in writing our upcoming article for Cracked.com, and I drowned my sorrows in dick jokes, arguments over whether or not a phrase is hyphenated and agonizing over where to […]
Dun dun DUNNNNNNNNNNNNN
Wednesday, January 30th, 2008Since we’re going all out with the Internet memes today, remember this? That’s the dramatic chipmunk - which is actually a prairie dog - giving you the crazy eyes. Watch it a few times. And then watch this, courtesy of the inestimable Ben Craw:
A few things worth noting:
Every single time Giuliani gets asked about what […]
You won’t have old Rudy to push around any more
Tuesday, January 29th, 2008Witness the last gasp of Rudy Giuliani’s campaign: an ad that proudly proclaims that nobody is endorsing him.
“In fact,” the announcer says, “he’s not endorsed by any of the liberal newspapers.”
What a coincidence! I’m not either.
LOLMCCAIN
Tuesday, January 29th, 2008This is so strangely hypnotic that I just couldn’t help myself. I needed to have some fun with it, and given that I had some free time and I’m intellectually lazy enough to hop on the LOLCAT bandwagon, that ended up taking the form of this.
My apologies.
NOW NY: Endorsing anyone who isn’t Hillary Clinton is metaphorical gang rape
Tuesday, January 29th, 2008For anyone keeping score, this is the right way to respond when an ally of yours snubs you and endorses someone else:
Our country and our Party are stronger because of John’s service, and I respect his decision.
The wrong way most likely involves calling the endorser a raging misogynist and then going after people who have […]
