“Look, I don’t come down to where you work and impede your progress in your well-paid, socially valorized job that, from the looks of it, you’re probably highly skilled at and integral to.”

Pullin’ Punches
Boy, sure is a good thing we covered the duff heard ’round the shore. The “edgy” and “extreme” “music” “television network” has decided that reality got a little too real for TV, and has cut the infamous Snooki face-punch scene from this week’s episode of Jersey Shore. Here are some reasons why this is dumb:

The Tonya Harding Experience
Don’t mind me. I was just pulling quotes from the Tonya Harding (official!) Website to share with you, because Olympic-figure-skaters-turned-criminals-turned-kickboxers are totally hot right now. Why not leave you to explore? You’ll see momentarily. Let’s start with these gems. On fulfillment:
“It would be having enough money to go hunting and fishing and go to the [...]

Oh sorry, I forgot this is a blog, and so we’re mandated to write something about Jersey Shore
We watched the fuck out of Jersey Shore last night, brah. Some stuff happened. Some real important stuff that I’d have a better handle on if it weren’t for all the beer and drug. Someone was in a hot tub, some babes made out in there, I think, maybe with The Situation? I don’t know, [...]

Hey everyone! Let’s all deconstruct a Sarah Palin Op-ed!
Obviously there is no media outlet that views itself as being part of ‘the media.’ This is problematic, especially when media outlets write pieces about how Sarah Palin is juicing the media cycle by hopping on issues at the height of their short-lived, American attention span induced popularity (remember when Dave Letterman had an affair, or something? me neither).

O Josh Marshall, giver of grief, sender of scorn, sultan of smug, distributor of disdain, WE RECEIVE THEE!
Blogger of bloggers Josh Marshall had himself a time this weekend, following the story of Todd Petruna who wrote up a whole bunch of lies about singlehandedly beating back Jihad and Other Fine Tales of Heroism, and then sent them to his best friend, The Internet.

Do yr part: take a vacation!
Hey, you. Yeah, you, you monkey-suit waring, coke snorting, 80-hours-a-week working, “I’ve-always-been-a-hard-worker”-ing, sad, sad bastard. Your ambition is fucking up the economy. Do us all a favor and head for the Hamptons. Read a book.
Uncle Sam wants YOU.
