There are so many things wrong with this it’s hard not to use caps.

I just can’t believe they get this much traction out of ACORN.  I can almost understand the ceaseless, limitless paranoia about George Soros, who is admittedly very wealthy [and foreign, and Jewish].  But ACORN is such a pissant group that probably has [...]

Yesterday (July 1) was the day the Census Bureau uses as its benchmark for its 2009 population estimates, which are obviously the last before the actual Census.  At this instant, the estimated population is 306,817,884.  On July 1, 2008 it was 303,824,640.  That’s an increase of 2,993,244 people in a year and a day, or [...]

I saw this:

And I thought of this:

It’s for Runners World.  Tell me those gams ain’t running all the way to 2012!
Also, can that possibly be real?  The shadow of the wall sconce and Palin’s own shadow don’t make any sense.  Shitty Photoshopping, or inside joke?

This is interesting.  If you ever want an odyssey through middlebrow America, scroll through the comments section.  Even the mildly supportive people are completely clueless.  I can’t believe how few people understand sex versus gender.
With respect to confusion, any departure from the child-rearing script will leave apparently leave your kids “confused.”  I’ve never gotten this.  [...]

There really is nothing worse than prurience.  Its the ugliest manifestation of hypocrisy, because it requires a flagellating doublethink from all parties, including the disapproving scolds who lust after titillating updates.
Mark Sanford is a prurient person.  Cops soliciting sex and busting people for prostitution is one thing.  Playing up the sexual angle of a scandal [...]

So Al Franken’s going to be seated.  Norm Coleman only managed to deprive Minnesota of a second senator for 1/12 of a senator’s term.  Of course, did anybody think to ask Harry Reid?  I mean, he just might decide to seat Coleman anyway.  Did anybody check to make sure that Harry Reid’s glands weren’t releasing [...]

I know I just railed about states of exception or categories that only have one thing in them, but this is profoundly bizarre and absolutely amazing.  It’s the Sixties-iest thing I’ve ever seen.  The sets are incredible.  It’s like art on the corporate campus of a company that manufactured sex robots for the Soviet Union.  [...]

Maybe this is my secret middlebrow self surfacing, but I don’t understand the point of meting out a sentence that exceeds the human lifespan, let alone the life expectancy of a 71-year old man.  There is a certain rhetorical satisfaction in assigning a big number instead of telling someone, “You’re going to prison for the [...]

States that are ugly, conservative, homophobic, culturally sterile or some combination thereof.

Louisiana gets a bye due to New Orleans, but Georgia does not.  It’s a big heap of crazy.  Utah and Wyoming are so beautiful they can go as cuckoo bananas as they want politically and it won’t matter.  Florida and Pennsylvania are too awful [...]

I hate pride.  I hate the concept of being proud of things you didn’t actually achieve.  ‘Proud to be American’ rankled me from the moment it hit bumpers nationwide.  And being proud to be gay makes almost as little sense, although you could argue that there is something of a hurdle involved in achieving comfort [...]
