New Year’s Revolutions

Tuesday, January 10th, 2012

Like all men I do my best thinking on the can. This is why our desert enemies will never defeat us. Although they have a blood lust that is nearly Klingon in its intensity and bear us an inexhaustible grudge that comes from living all year round in an oven, nevertheless they squat over holes [...]

Stop SOPA

Wednesday, January 18th, 2012

Shit Lit

Friday, February 24th, 2012

Matt Taibbi has posted a blog gleefully trumpeting the implosion of the Republican party, as signaled by Wednesday’s (allegedly) final Republican candidates’ debate in Arizona. “Implosion” may be too soft a word, though.
