U.S. not alone in senseless expressions of intolerance (but we still do it better)

Swiss voters overwhelmingly approved a ban on the construction of Minarets — the doohickeys they put on top of mosques that, these days, often contain the PA system used for prayer calls (function meets form!). What the hell, Switzerland? Turns out the debate crosses borders, and the ball has been moving ever-so-slowly rightward (i.e. racist-ward) since the [...]

This seems like a problem, no?

We’ve heard about the Japanese and their fake intimacy before. This, however, is a bit too much to bear.

Way to nuance, you fat fuck. Your brain is made of lard. There is lard inside your skull, where a brain should be. And that’s why you say these things.

“If you [President Obama] go to West Point tomorrow night (Tuesday, 8pm) and announce that you are increasing, rather than withdrawing, the troops in Afghanistan, you are the new war president. [...] Have you drunk Bush’s Kool-Aid?” -Michael Moore Whats your bright idea, you fat, stupid bastard? Oh, found it! “Stop, stop, stop!” WOW. Insightful. So insightful, in [...]

This post expresses a form of sympathy for Sarah Palin, so we got a Drudge Siren to draw attention to it.

When you’re famous, you have to do things like, I don’t know, wash thoroughly under the arms, wear things that match, and, when things get really crunched, maintain a schedule. On the other hand, if you’re a disgruntled, semi-employed Indianan, you needn’t do any of those things and, judging by the crowd in Noblesville, you assume [...]

This.. is… JEOPARDY!

The Jeopardy Celebrity Invitational continued yesterday, pitting three fly honies against one another, for charity. Jane Kaczmarek of “Malcolm in the Middle” and “Raising the Bar” fame blew away Julie Bowen of “Julie Bowen Goes on a Date with Jeff From Where Todd P Won’t Be, Resulting in Intercourse, Marriage” … er, “Boston Legal” and [...]

The youngs, the west, and their fucking bicycles.

If it were true, as I momentarily considered, that youth culture comes, like the weather, from the west, then an article like this might have a home in New York Times. It doesn’t. But if not for that premise, why publish it at all? Is it, indeed, a new phenomenon that bicycles are the mode of transportation [...]

An Oven-Free Thanksgiving!

Wait. Wait a minute. Just you wait a goddamned minute here. I don’t want an oven-free Thanksgiving. I admit, with my dwindling family becoming older, more senile, and more frail by the day, we’ve been known to phone in our holiday meals — literally. But its not the same, and if you’re under the age of, [...]

peni..nsula vs. peen-isle

Florida looks like a phallus. There’s no getting around it, and sometimes it can be a liability, as we reported last week. But now, Cuba’s getting in on the action and, based on this photo, is looking to channel this local weatherman for a good, old fashioned swordfight with its neighbor to the north: Yes, everything is [...]

No middle ground here

Taking a look at Weezer’s tour rider, you’re probably going to conclude that these gentlemen are either the divine incarnate or the world’s biggest dickheads.  There’s really nothing in between. On the other hand, I’m probably watching Taylor Swift’s figure more than she is — this girl’s really just looking to pig the fuck out (Kraft [...]

Gosh-darnit: Palin uproots Presidential appointment procedure

Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin answered questions from People magazine readers this week as part of her book tour. Asked if she could “have one job in the White House tomorrow, what would it be,” Palin responded that she would like to take over from Rahm Emanuel. “It would be chief of staff, so I could [...]
