VOTE NEWT!
Nobody is allowed to speak ill of the illustrious, loyal, authentic, slim and brilliant Newt Gingrich until he clinches the Republican nomination.

Putting America back on the gold standard would bankrupt my uncle, who was poor all his life until 2008, when his coin and precious metals trading business turned a corner.
Did you (everyone, not you specifically) know that The Wizard of Oz (book, not movie) is an allegory parodying the Gold Standard. The Wizard is William Jennings Bryan, The Yellow Brick Road is the gold...

Every time I see the word "vender" in a New Yorker...
wooliebear:
Why, why, WHY do they insist on this spelling? The rest of us use “vendor,” why do they stubbornly insist on “vender?” WHY?
Because they are all sitting in their tweed, saying “Vender? I just met her.” until they have to wipe the tears off their tortoise shell glasses.

The death of Stalin’s daughter is not tragic. If she died 20 million times, that would be tragic.
Cancer Beds, New Love: a Newt Gingrich Love Story
Starring Paula Deen as Newt Gingrich
At least Newt divorced his wives. In their cancer beds.

Burn all magazines.
Ginger White is an oxymoron.

There’s something wrong with us if this in unpopular opinion. Friends is the funniest show (not best). Seinfeld was funny, but cold and heartless, supposedly a strength but actually made it less funny for me.
I COULD GO ON, SIRS AND LADIES!
It’s weird that they would have hired a new editor for a website that’s been defunct for three years.

– News Desk: Central Booking : The New Yorker
Guys, Keith is worried about us, and this is getting in the way of his sadness.
Today, I turned on the TV and The Cleveland Show came on the screen. My 3 year old son muttered to himself, clearly and with palpable disgust, “I hate this”. It was on for a total of about 30 seconds, and he’s never seen it before.
Probably should just save that outraged and self-righteous post about Black Friday and consumerism and the decline of the west and how it was better back then in the golden time so you can post it again, year after year until you finally convince the world that you are better.
There’s a parade of morons saying horrific things on stage and all the journalists can talk about is how one of them called the TV guy by the wrong name.

– Deficit Deal Fell Apart After Seeming Agreement - NYTimes.com
Why wouldn’t they blame the other side? Does anyone think that any world would ever exist where they would say, “Our bad! You guys totally rock. Community isn’t funny.” ?
Holy Christ, this Woody Allen documentary.
It’s a good thing that “Deficit Reduction Super Committee and And His All-Star Band” failed. Austerity in a recovery is the dumbest thing, and it means the deficit might actually get reduced.
That’s it. After Bridesmaids, I’m never listening to the consensus about a movie ever again. So overrated.

So, some horrible asshat cops assaultS students in cuffs with their heads down, and some horrible asshat GOP candidates assault our intelligence and threaten our Republic with policy and ideas the Victorians would consider a bit much and all the left can say is that Obama hasn’t criticized the cops, because that worked out so well for him before.
Is OWS really advocating more government spending? Where did they say that (and of course it’s not really clear to me what they’re saying. Because those kids who got pepper sprayed by a jacked up cop really are thinking about taxes and government waste.

Libertarians really set themselves up in a I can never be wrong paradise.
