Saturday, May 24th, 2008When I first read some of Emily Gould’s article, titled Exposed but more accurately dubbed EVERYONE PAY ATTENTION TO MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE, I was heavily leaning towards not writing about it. Why waste more energy on this when having it talked about is just going to validate the editorial decision to print it? But then I found […]
Obama at Wesleyan
Friday, May 23rd, 2008Yep. Apparently, my hometown college’s commencement speaker was originally supposed to be Ted Kennedy, but due to the recent sad news about the senator, he’s been replaced by Barack friggin’ Obama. I’m going to try to get good seats for the speech, but I’m not terribly optimistic about that.
Meanwhile, I spent the day at John’s […]
Zelliciousness
Wednesday, May 21st, 2008Check this shit out. Lieberman, who, remember is chair of the Senate Government Oversight Committee (making him the horribly stunted evil twin brother of Henry Waxman, I guess), apparently feels that his time is better spent exercising oversight over … YouTube videos.
As mcjoan points out, the letter that Lieberman’s writing to YouTube is officially being […]
Sergeant Pepper can suck it
Tuesday, May 20th, 2008It might seem a little premature to call The Hold Steady’s Stay Positive album of the year when it’s not going to be released for another month or so, but now that another track has been released, I think it’s fair. In fact, based on the strength of “Sequestered in Memphis,” I’m going to go […]
Mulder’s Big Adventure
Tuesday, May 20th, 2008is my favorite new blog. From the About sidebar:
Josh and Angela review and recap The X-Files from start to finish, one episode at a time. Why? Why not?
Exactly! So far they’ve done four episodes, so at this rate hopefully we’ve got 3-4 years of entertainment to look forward to. Of course, I wouldn’t be complaining […]
Sigmund Freud’s Junior Prom
Monday, May 19th, 2008That’s all I could think of when I saw this article on Purity Balls (via Alex). What’s obviously intended to be a PG-rated celebration of traditional family values instead comes off as a hilariously awful nightmare parade of psychosexual double entendres. I mean, just look at this picture. LOOK AT IT, for Chrissake. It’s like […]
Two Dogs: Married
Monday, May 19th, 2008I prefer the Something Awful version of this lighter-than-air campaign ad.
Now that’s a vision of the future I can get behind.
Juan for the Road (The first of many awful puns on the subject)
Sunday, May 18th, 2008John’s uploaded pictures of yesterday’s bus maintenance. I left early, once I realized that there were too many cooks and not enough spoons for laboring over this particular pot of stew, but I’m still in one shot. That’s me in front, the mysterious bearded man with my back turned to the camera.
UPDATE: Okay, not so […]
Muckrakin’
Sunday, May 18th, 2008Over at the ol’ stomping grounds, muckraking dynamo Paul Kiel is moving on to other things. Josh and Attackerman have already pretty much said it all, but I’d just like to add my own words of congratulations.
I didn’t work as closely with Paul as some of the other TPM interns - my jurisdiction was mostly […]
“Nice hat, asshole.”
Sunday, May 18th, 2008Peter and I have yet another article on Cracked.com today. It’s somewhat of a departure from the typical Cracked format, and from the subject matter of my last two articles. Read it, and digg with all your might.
