Always Anti-fascist!

Although I am smart, and it took me a while to get the Repor...and still longer to be amused. A few times, it was like "Why is Steven being such an assh--oh, I get it!" But I'm still not quite sure what they were expecting. Is it that they've just read his name a lot and wanted some hip comic *not* famous for saying "dick"? Did they confuse him with Mark Russell? Garrison Keillor?(Although GK has been a pissed-off liberal since this admin came in, anyway, which both shocked and, dare I say, awed me.)

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

Great links, tommyrot. I think I'm going to have to save up for one of those Anthro e-nooks. I'm always using my laptop on my bed and my bed as a desk. This is fine as long as I'm NGA. But not ideal.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Hmmm....

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Reader Mark needs to wash his pillowcase. Seriously.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Damnit! Now I have to go look again.

Well, maybe it's just the lighting or something making it look so yellow, but I don't think so.

Okay, I just went to Anthro's site and it's $400 for one of those babies. Think I'll be coming up with some other kind of solution.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

It doesn't surprise me how many members of the mainstream press dislike Colbert's speech, because I actually thought that he hit them just as hard, if not harder, than he did Dubya.

Yeah, this is my take on the furor as well.

Really?

Given that even a brief conversation about baseball would put me a in a coma, and that I don't see bow ties as all that indicative, I suspect our tastes differ slightly. I wasn't nominating him for comedian of the year; I was disagreeing that he's the most dour, unfunny person imaginable.
