Who's coming with me?
From Fox News:
Barack Obama’s run for the presidency has launched many different grassroots campaigns. The most interesting may be the revival of the Grateful Dead.
I am told that on Oct. 13, possibly either in Philadelphia or Pittsburgh, the Dead will get back together for at least one show to raise money for and awareness about Obama.
All four living original members will play together —...
Life imitates yada yada yada...
David Duchovny — who plays a chronically depressed sex-addicted writer on television — is in rehab for sex addiction.
First, what does “sex addiction” really mean? Doesn’t it just mean “My wife caught me cheating on her and I need a medical excuse so she doesn’t divorce my ass”?
Second, I recently started watching “Californication”,...
Riding the crimson wave
Jezebel today argued against hiding the evidence of menstruation:
“There’s one final frontier of unpleasantness that means you’re really close: changing your pads and tampons in front of your boyfriend… Some guys are apparently squeamish about this sort of thing, probably the same ones who are weird about period sex.”
In my experience, 99% of guys are...
““Is God voting Dem this year? Focus On The Family asked God to dump rain...”

My response to Bible-thumping assholes at Focus on the Family is pictoral:
““After Wednesday night’s festivities ended, there was a minor...”

Wow, when it rains, it pours. Hillary really can’t catch a break, can she?
An ode to Dave Thomas
Wendy’s is, far and away, the best fast food place. Now, I don’t eat a lot of fast food. In fact, my lunch today of Spicy Chicken Sandwich and fries was probably the first Wendy’s lunch I’ve had in about a year and a half.
But I have to say, it was perfect. Chicken nice and crispy. Perfect amount of mayo. Tomato slice (discarded — too slippery) and a single...
Watch“Oddly Racist Commercial” (via Funny or Die)
Wait til the last 5 seconds. I didn’t see that coming. “Odd” is the operative word here.
“Your Obama Tax Cut is: $468.76
John McCain would tax you $429.42 MORE than...”
– (Via “My Obama Tax Cut”)
Yes, you can go to that site and figure out how much I make.
Despite being a very high-powered employee working for a high-powered man at a high-powered media company, I get paid shit.
If I break down my salary vs. the number of hours I work, I actually make...
Who has two thumbs and is just as smart as Obama?
Much has been made of Barack Obama’s October 2002 speech against the Iraq War. Everyone agrees that it was prescient and brave for him to come out against the war when most of the rest of the country was still desperate to avenge 9/11 and Bush and Cheney had twin hard-ons for bombing Saddam.
Well, Obama’s not the only genius who made a bold stand against the war that month.

“I ain’t coming back no fucking October 3rd.”
– Rapper DMX at an arraignment on drug charges, in response to the judge telling him the day of his next court appearance.
D-Listed has the video.
The judge’s sarcastic response is priceless.
A clarification
I’ve been getting some flak about my post slamming the whacked out Hillary supporters who call themselves PUMA. There’s a claim that they’re actually McCain supporters in disguise trying to make Hillary fans look bad.
I don’t know what to tell you. No doubt some of the PUMAs are closet Republicans just trying to cause mischief. But as near as I can tell, a big chunk of...
Unity.
I take back every bad thing I’ve ever said or thought about Hillary Clinton. That speech was a barn burner. The best line:
“With an agenda like that, it makes sense that George Bush and John McCain will be together next week in the Twin Cities. Because these days they’re awfully hard to tell apart.”
“Christianity.
The belief that some cosmic Jewish zombie can make you live...”

Creepy Hillary dead-enders on the loose in New...
These women who inexplicably cannot let go of the fact that Hillary got her ass handed to her are now holding candlelight vigils in Union Square.
I honestly wish I had known this was happening tonight — I would have swung by and mocked them mercilessly to their faces.
Meanwhile, back in Denver, the two dozen PUMAs have increased their numbers exponentially:
A crowd of about three...

For months now, the group of embittered Hillary supporters that have been threatening to vote for John McCain (they call themselves PUMA, short for Party Unity My Ass) have been complaining that their critics are unfairly marginalizing them.
They’ve been saying “We’re not some fringe group made up of homely old ladies. We’re 18 million strong! We’ll never vote...

A woman in Texas apparently beat her 2-year-old nephew to death, but she has yet to be put in jail. The problem?
Prosecutors have to work out how Mayra Rosales will be detained and prosecuted because she weighs nearly 1,000 pounds. She is unable to fit through a door to leave her home.
On the plus side I’ll bet that murdering that kid is the most exercise she’s gotten in years.

– -from a NY Times article about the struggle to teach Florida’s school children about evolution
I have very little tolerance for the brain-dead bible-thumping yokels who make up a good portion of this country. They can believe what they want to believe as long as they keep their asinine views...
“On May 8, according to a police complaint, Miller told a student she was...”
– SOURCE: Iowa Professor accused of trading good grades for sexual favors
I don’t know what she’s complaining about - the man made a promise and delivered on that promise. I would have killed for a professor that attentive and responsive to my needs.
Of course, when you look like...
Things I learned on vacation
1. People in Massachusetts don’t like it when you wear Yankees caps
2. There is such a thing as too much lobster
3. If you are in Hyannis and your last name is Kennedy you can probably get laid with little to no effort, even if you’re obviously not related to the family (seriously — an Indian guy named Habib Kennedy could still score at will)
4. Inappropriately leering at...
Summering at the Cape
I’m off to Cape Cod (or as us Waspy rich folks call it “The Cod”) with the ladyfriend and her parents. I’m planning for a week of drinking, eating and no Internet.
I hate to abandon this fledgling blog so soon after starting it, but I’m looking forward to not obsessing over the election every waking hour.
I’ll be back Thursday, but to tide you over until...
Please no...
I hope that the guy who wrote this just doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
Obama’s biggest problem right now is that the yokels who inhabit most of flyover country view him as an effete, out-of-touch, big-city liberal with a bitchy wife. I don’t think that the way to fight that perception is to pick a running mate who lost the last election because Bush and Rove were...
Racism: Always hilarious!
The Spanish women’s Olympic tennis team took this photo after qualifying for the Beijing Games earlier this year. This comes right on the heels of the Spanish men’s basketball team getting busted taking a similar photo.
There’s a time and a place to do the whole slanty-eyed, ching chong mocking of Asians. If you’re Rosie O’Donnell, that time and place is live on...
The racist pro-Hillary hold-outs
I’ve been doing a lot of trolling lately on the pro-Hillary websites. Even though she lost the nomination fair and square, there’s still a vocal minority out there who is angry and thinks that she got a raw deal.
There’s nothing wrong with advocating for Hillary. I think there’s a valid argument to be made that she’s more qualified for the office. But voters...

Speaking of sexy bible stuff, here’s Michelangelo’s depiction of Adam and Eve from the Sistine Chapel:
I think that the great artist was a little genital obsessed. I visited the Sistine Chapel a few years back - I...

– “haguenite” commenting at Jezebel on a post featuring a photo of the gold medal winning US men’s 800 meter free relay team. It’s pretty funny to see the neo-feminist commentors drooling over the beefcake pic.
Evan Bayh will be Obama's VP
Two clues: 1) Look where this site redirects to: www.obamabayh08.com Currently www.obamakaine08.com, www.obamasebelius08.com and www.obamaclinton08.com do nothing. 2) Mark Halperin reports that when Obama and Bayh were at a diner in Indiana today: “There was also a very expensive (and aggressive) high-definition TV crew shooting what appeared to be ad footage as the two worked the...
