Buy: Sick Boy Syndrome

I owe Jay Leno an apology. For much of my life I’ve thought of him as a complacent old hack on the wrong side of history, with nothing better to do than spent his time telling humorless and mean-spirited jokes to an audience that thinks predictability breeds hilarity. I was making the cardinal sin of [...]

Buy: WALNUTS!

This lady asks Walnuts a “question” about barry. She starts with something about money and then says he is going against the Constitution, then questions if he understands it… Talk about stage fright. MAKE SENSE ETHEL! Mccain follows this by making a face. I would describe it as uncomfortable. Which is exactly how I feel [...]

Buy: Barney Frank

These town hall “meetings” are getting out of hand. No one is offering real criticism. I even heard someone call Obama’s policies “Nazi Socialist.” Are you fucking kidding me? You morons don’t know the difference between Socialism and Fascism? These meetings are so frustrating to watch or even hear about.

Then there’s this picture that I [...]

Buy Or Don’t Buy: The Past Two Weeks

Another QuickHits edition!
Don’t Buy: The Jonas Brother Engagement — This is what happens when you make a 21-year-old wear a promise ring.
Buy: Sarah Palin’s Resignation — Two reasons: 1) She went out on top with a resignation speech that was full of the folksy sports metaphors and rhetorical nonsensicals that make a Palin speech a [...]

Don’t Buy: “Retiring” Iranian Soccer Players

This is the Iranian Men’s Nation Soccer team. Four of these players wore green wrist bands in support of Mir Hossein Mousavi at their last match. They have recieved life-time bans retired from the team.
How about some post-game analysis?
Iran’s government is completely exposed, it seems like most people agree with the protesters, insane amounts of [...]

Don’t Buy: Tweet-speak

Chuck Grassley is a United States Senator from Iowa. He has been in politics since 1959. He is a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, the Senate Committee on Agriculture and the Senate Finance Committee, of which he has twice been the Chair. He is also a grown man capable of expressing himself like an [...]

Buy: Arlen Specter

If the Senate Republican caucus was “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,” Mitch McConnell would be The Brains, John Ensign would be The Looks and Arlen Specter would be The Wild Card.

Sometimes Specter is a hard-core Republican. He went at Anita Hill like a wild dog during Clarence Thomas’s Supreme Court hearings and he was mixed [...]

Don’t Buy: Teabagging

Another day another bailout. The banks, mortgage companies, Detroit (all of it?), and now the MTA.
“Teabaggers,” (people that seem to be pretty well off) are complaining that they don’t want to be taxed anymore then they already are! If you ask me that takes some balls. Also, forcing your kids to protest with you holding [...]

Don’t Buy: Gawker

Julia and Sly sat outside the United Avalon theaters and asked Tammy to hold up her dress and shoes she bought for MORP. The name might have been backwards, to prevent middle schoolers from drinking, but everything else about Friday’s dance was definitely forwards: girls asking the guys to dance, new clothes, new weather, new [...]

Don’t Buy: The First Dog

B-Rock finally found a dog for the white house. This is Bo. The first dog. UGH!
I understand The President has a lot of things on his plate but picking out a dog is something that shouldn’t take more then an afternoon at a shelter.
Anywho, Bo is a gift from Ted Kennedy. Is apparently a boy [...]
