meara, how long are you in Columbus? There is a dive bar in Clintonville called Union Station that usually has pretty good karoke nights. And the Surly Girl Saloon on High Street is also pretty freakin' awesome.
Shh! I kinda wanna hear me talking right now!

Bad anonymous Spinner writer, no biscuit! [link]
While he may have picked a number of missteps, I think the selection of Kiss' "Beth" and Springsteen's "Dancing in the Dark" says more about the writer's macho insecurities than the music itself. And how can you look down on "Should I Stay or Should I Go?"

“Not dead yet!”
And how can you look down on "Should I Stay or Should I Go?"
The whole list sounds like something Chuck Klosterman wrote in one of his "I'm so fucking cool I diss everything anyone else likes as stupid and inconsequential and everyone will concur because I'm so fucking cool," snits.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
From Kos:
Apparently, as the GOP faces utter humiliation at the ballot box on November 4, it has become the fashion to tar, smear and slander their fellow Americans.
Trailing handily in the polls to Democrat Larry Kissell, who nearly beat him in 2006, GOP Rep. Robin Hayes has become the latest to go the full Bachmann. Emphasis added:
He yielded the microphone to Representative Robin Hayes, who prefaced his comments by saying it was important to "make sure we don't say something stupid, make sure we don't say something we don't mean." Republicans, he reminded the crowd, were kind people. Plus, he added, the liberal media had shown itself eager to distort such remarks. With the crowd duly chastened and put on best behavior, he accused Obama of "inciting class warfare" and said that "liberals hate real Americans that work and achieve and believe in God."
It seems like Republicans are really good at dealing with cognitive dissonance.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Wait -- does being a liberal mean I don't have to work????? I am apparently doing it wrong!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Wait -- does being a liberal mean I don't have to work????? I am apparently doing it wrong!
Yeah, why wasn't that brought up at last week's Liberal East Coast Elite cabal meeting?? I could have been on a liberal elite beach somewhere right now!

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
Last night's Daily Show just nailed this whole "Real America" thing. They had a quiz to determine if you're a "real American" or not, and ended up determining that if you answered any of the questions, that meant you were watching the Daily Show and were, therefore, not "real Americans."
ETA: Sorry about that! I forget that not everyone watches it right away.
