Conservatives have always lived in fantasy land. This "my day" is a figment of his imagination, equal parts Leave it to beaver and the Brady Bunch, where everything was awesome cause white men didn't have to pretend to care about women or minorities!
They've been trying to drag us back to "their day" ever since.
Jim, you are a hilarious and very smart writer. I read you on Wonkette (probably will soon, no?) and will now follow you on twitter till you get a regular gig. Best of luck!
Oooo! What happens in this whip it + lit cigarette trick?
Terry Richardson is so gross, but I'd still suck his dick.
All I can see in that picture is a mutant strain of herpes.
Brian, your effort to gain more page views seems to have inspired a descent into the raunchiness of dListed. And, one of the most disgusting posts I remember in a good long while. This is highly appreciated.
This is also one of those days where "blog view" doesn't really do its job. Dear lord, that was...ugh!
I wanted to be really indignant about your comment (because I too, actually, love Ted Leo) but yes, still fecking hilarious.
Seriously, where would the republican party be if they didn't lie all the time? I was delighted to hear Bill Maher discuss how Mitt and the RNC are running a man (some uppity european socialist Muslim!) that doesn't exist. They literally, just make up shit.
Facts have a liberal, bias indeed.
Reminds me of when Dubya bruised the side of his face sometime in the first (ugh) term, he hurt himself "chocking on a pretzel." My mother's theory was that Laura had clocked him with one of her library books.
If I had a printer, I would use an entire ream of paper to copy this comment and dust the streets with it.
The existence of wealthy black, gay, latino and female American's who vote republican makes TOTAL sense to me. Their voting choices make rational sense since any other impediments to their lives (health insurance, education for their children, retirement etc) are easily solvable.
What doesn't make sense is why working class people vote for them, falling for this ruse election after election, with dreams of winning the PowerBall Lotto next week and joining Mitt Romney on his chariot made of reconstituted dollar notes (He doesn't smoke cigars, so there is nothing to light them with).
Seriously though, the side by side with George Romney was very illuminating, thank you.

Useful for those who are just dying to learn the names of all counties in Iowa.
Listen, there is a reason I've started frequenting Wonkette and the Awl more and more lately. I actually like AJ (the weekend he guest posted on Jezebel was a laugh riot) so I look forward to whatever you do.
But please PLEASE don't be more the Huffington Post. Visiting the Huffington Post makes me go into a seizure with all the crap they throw at you. And I belatedly realized that new commentors had to go through their Facebook accounts now to comment on Gawker. User generated content is not a bad idea per se, since I still believe Gawker has some of the best commenters on the web.
I get it, you need clicks, you need content. Best of luck.
The mockery stings at first, but since I'm a twentysomething NYer and Yale alum, I want you know that I can now lift my work desk completely over my head without breaking a sweat.
Since Newt's ego is visible from outer space, it's not like she has much choice.
Ah yes, when I think "hip," the first image that comes to mind is a bunch of elderly white people dancing around in velvety suits and sock hop skirts. Why did no one invite me?!?!

The trip down memory lane will probably last about ten minutes, since all my friends in law school sound like miserable hermits.

By all accounts, I should like It's Always Sunny. And actually, I do laugh whenever I catch an episode with friends who do follow the show. But after mowing through the first three seasons over a some idle school break, their schtick went from tiresome to aggravating to hateful. I just never grew to actually like them, or find them interesting, despite their many flaws.
However, I can NOT wait till the new season of Archer starts! And the Life and Times of Tim!
Anyone else into Ugly Americans?

I'm almost afraid to watch it given that there aren't enough beers in the world to sustain a drinking game (watch this sober? hahaha) for this mess.
The only thing I still use from my bread machine, is the basic recipe book that was thrown into the box before leaving China.
When I was really poor, I would deliberately take the long way home so I could pass by a bodega that sold for $6 (or $7, never more) pack of smokes but any kind you wanted, even American Spirits. Sometimes, I would buy extra packs and sell that shit to my coworkers for $10.
Democrats:
You could confiscate the entire net worth of all the Forbes 400 ($1.3T in 2010) and still not pay 1 year of debt spending ($1.7T in 2010). Tax increases aren't the only answer. Reform the fucking tax code, look at entitlements!

Ok, I agree with you that the Democratic party is full of a bunch of weak-willed crooks, but I'm pretty sure they (the leadership, anyway) have already agreed to reform the tax code AND "look at entitlements" (whatever that means). They were willing to do this BEFORE the Supercommittee was created. This false equivalency about tactics at the negotiation table is getting really tiresome.

Probably because being upptiy assholes to all the other South American countries is Argentineans' bread and butter.
