    In reply to Sarah Palin Now Pissing Off Everyone: Fans Boo Her, Martha Stewart Calls Her "Dangerous"
    I was able to shrug off all apocalyptic notions about 2012 - until Palin decided to go rogue with her rouge. That YouTube video and the possible future it portends is scarier to me than if the film 2012 was a documentary.

    As for Martha? I'd cheerfully knit her campaign posters.

    In reply to New York City Just Gives Up on Subway Service
    Everything you said about the misallocation of resources (more highways, less mass transit) is true for schools, too

    Local funding of local transit and local schools with national funding of highways is a recipe for a big country filled with long roads driven by itinerant illiterates.

    Check out the video for Irina's Spring 2010 collection - still stealing from Madonna (Love Profusion video) with rolling blond model & butterflies. Ugh.

    In reply to Glenn Beck's Scary Blueprint for World Domination in 2010, Unveiled: "The Plan"
    Glenn Beck would never be stupid enough to run for office for these reasons:

    1) The hemmorhoid surgery meltdown, the substance abuse problems, all that stuff will get dragged out ad nauseum once he steps into the real public arena of a political race. He will get dragged so far through the mud he'll never recover.

    2) If he actually gets elected he'd have to deliver on some of the crazy shit he pretends to believe in.

    3) There's no money in being an elected official.

    Muffley: You mean, people could actually stay down there for a hundred years?

    I don't see why everyone is being so skeptical here about Glenn Beck seeing through his 100-year-plan. Obviously, part of Beck's plan is to not die. It's not like he's a charlatan slowly realizing his brand is in need of a new way of monetizing itself due to a lack of advertisers or something.

    Sodomy is any sex that isn't for procreation (anal and oral copulation according to Webster's), so how do we know Mr. Mayer isn't just talking about a lively, consensual face fucking?

    Good news, everyone! With my 100-year plan, I'll never have to actually deliver on any of my schemes! It'll be your children that have to sort through the detritus of the failed Beck prophecies, and I'll be long dead by then--also, buried beneath a gigantic golden sculpture of my own pudgy face!

    This quote sounds more closet gay than rapist to me:

    "It's crazy to me that in my head, that being 32 and dating women is going to get me in trouble," he said, talking faster as he went along. "I can't even explain to you how terrible that feels, that I equate dating a woman with punishment, shame, guilt, disappointment, reproach, reprimand, persecution. It's a nightmare."

    Just wondering: Are there popular "guitar gods" lamer than John Mayer out there? I've often tried to compile a Top Three Guitarists Lamer Than John Mayer, but I inevitably get stuck after number 2.

    @snugbug: Well... I assume you want people from his generation? There are far more awful "guitar gods" from decades past. His only really competition in his age bracket that I can think of (at least as far as shitty frat-blooze playing goes) is Kenny Wayne Shepherd. Of course, I had to look him up to even remember his name, so he's a distant second at best.

    @MyNameIsChris: I bow to your expertise on lame guitarists.

    I entertained the notion that both Tom Morello and Omar Rodriguez-Lopez (that cute prog wizard from The Mars Volta) are significantly nerdier than Mayer, but I take it back. I find their respective signature styles super-geeky, but upon closer consideration, they themselves are in no way John Mayer-lame. This competition yields a landslide win for "the frat blooz preacher."
