I mean, I’m in the 3rd act, and I do want to see the ending but YAWWWWNNNNNNNNN. What? Oh, sorry – and that’s about how I feel whenever I think about actually playing through the repetitive battle scenes. Don’t get me wrong, the combat is fun and stuff, but how many times can you fight [...]

At least I think that’s what this AP dispatch is getting at. Why else would the writer say things like The result is a tax system that exempts almost half the country from paying for programs that benefit everyone, including national defense, public safety, infrastructure and education. It is a system in which the top [...]

Let’s take a trip down shit-logic lane, shall we? Man molests pre-pubescent boy. Therefore, man must be attracted to males. Therefore, man is gay. Therefore, all/most gays are child molesters. Now, of course we can all point out the obvious logical fallacy involved in traversing the gulf between steps 3 and 4, right? If not, [...]

I hate knowing about author’s personal lives because it makes me harder to enjoy their books knowing they were written by a douche. Good thing I wasn’t particularly motivated to read any of his new books anyway – although I did see Ender in Exile on the shelf recently and at least made a mental [...]

Dubai may be going the way of Detroit…except on a different kind of scale. (Should we call it “Dubait” if that happens?) Check out this story for a dose of serious reality.- This article marks the first place I’ve seen the phrase “the Noughties” – which I fear will become the phrase for this decade. [...]

Seriously, you can’t make this up. After all the drama with her daughter’s “marriage” she really should know better. And she’s supposedly planning a 2012 presidential run? Man, talk about reality TV! [EDIT: Here's more from Mudflats.]

but the fact that he has so much influence makes this all the more baffling. Andrew Sullivan posts an exchange from Rush’s show where you can see how crazy he’s gotten. Look, I remember hearing the guy at a friends house pretty regularly as a kid, and he’s always been crazy. But, you know, it [...]

Or maybe it’s the other way around? I never knew anything about Condoleezza before she took the job, so I didn’t have any idea what to watch out for. Now with Clinton, we’ve been subject to all kinds of laundry. And she’s got something to prove right? So, let’s get this fire cooking with rhino-grease [...]

Note1: I’m not supporting or opposing stimulus here, just making fun of politicians as usual. Note2: Yes, I was going for longest title ever. This should surprise no one. Hell I’m just going to quote the whole thing: Not a penny of the stimulus for the GOP districts I suppose no one should be surprised [...]

Link. I think he covers it pretty well. The whole situation cracks me up – hypocrisy playing itself out in the national media. Good times. I only add “bastard” because it’s technically true.
