Buy Or Don’t Buy

So, Obama has been President-Elect for a while now. Bush has been on his way out for a while. And… so…?
On Tuesday, Obama will become President. Haven’t we already decided that? So what’s so OMG about it? He already has the job. I don’t get it. There. Now you know my position on it. I’m [...]

The first question American Apparel invokes in most people is, ‘Who would buy something like this?’ For most of the items, the easy answer is ‘hipsters.’ However, there are a few that are pitched at a completely different niche market.

This gold jacket, for instance, is for Israeli entertainment moguls.

In the next week or so Obama is going to be naming his Energy advisor-people for his administration. The current concensus/rumor is that Dr. Steven Chu, a physicist from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory with a Nobel Prize under his belt, will be named Energy Secretary. This is an actual Buy, [...]

Since Hillary Clinton is going to the State Department, someone needs to take her Senate seat, For some reason Caroline Kennedy’s name has come up. As a result, Richard Bradley at Slate decided to write a wonderfully random heavy-handed takedown of Caroline the likes of which I haven’t seen since Jonathan Chait drove through Delaware.

I love puppies. Especially this one. But, really?
I don’t care what Obama picks for his first pooch. I know about past presidential dogs, but I was never involved or heard so much about them. I know Bush had a Scotty. The Clinton’s had Buddy. And other presidents had other dogs and Nixon had Checkers.

I’m tired of hearing about the economic bailout of banks, credit cards, homeowners, car companies, etc. If people and companies want to live beyond their means, they should learn to accept the consequences. If you buy on credit, you better be able to afford the payments. If your house isn’t worth what you paid for [...]

Sieg heil!?  … No, dumbass.
A) Barack Obama + taxing rich people = Adolf Hitler
Mmm…yeah…no.  Even if you ignore the fact that Hitler was not a Marxist…this is still retarded.  (Story)
B) Sarah Palin + 4 years = viable presidential candidate
This woman couldn’t even graduate college in 4 years.  (Story)

I’m going to take this opportunity to send a little love out to the other 500,000 or so inhabitants of the place I currently call home, Washington D.C.  Washingtonians are not really known for being awesome.  The city was famously described by JFK as possessing “Southern efficiency and Northern charm.”  (Burn!)  It also gets shit [...]

It’s only six days until the election, and we’ve long since moved past talking about issues to talking about image. Is John McCain too grizzled? Is Barack Obama too cool? Is Joe Biden too greasy? (Just kidding. No one cares about Joe Biden’s image, not even Joe Biden)
Politicians have always used a variety of low-information [...]

I don’t mind speculating on who will win the election. In fact, keep that going, cause I like the answers.  (Woot woot Obama) But what sucks is the speculation going into whether or not the weather will be nice this coming Tuesday. (Get it??)
With headlines like “Is good weather bad news for McCain?” (source) and [...]
