– I don’t really care about politics much anymore— I just want to hear more about Republicans partying with Booze Mermaids. What are those conversations like? … Okay, I was just sitting here wondering about it, and typed “mermaid fetish” into the ol’...

“We’re not generating enough angry white guys to stay in business for the long term.”
Sen. Lindsey Graham on the long-term problems of GOP
This quote doesn’t make me feel for the Republican Party— it just makes me feel for poor Fred Durst:
The GOP did it all for the nookie, too, if you think about it, spiritually speaking— maybe pursuant to a slightly more...

– From Talking Points Memo. Why can’t we just post people outside of tattoo parlors? If five guys walk out with matching tattoos, arrest them. Anytime I read a news story and the people involved have matching tattoos, it’s just the. WORST. stuff. Our nation’s tattoo parlors are...

Watchwaxandmilk:
This is still my favorite thing Tony Scott has done. Mainly because it is quintessential Tony in its style, rampant editing, color grading, giant explosions, plus featuring an all-star cast of Clive Owen, Gary Oldman, James Brown, Danny Trejo, and even a Marilyn Manson cameo. He was one of the good ones and definitely shaped Hollywood cinema in the 80s and 90s. I feel for the Scott...

The last couple weeks have been all about the plucky Newsroom characters being FORCED to cover non-news...

And when Dan starts in saying it’s the worst Harmontown ever because he’s hungover…you know it’s going to be a good one. The theme tonight was darkness. Jeff shared stories from his youth and said “if you’re going to dive into the pool you might as well touch bottom.” Dan and Jeff picked their Dungeons and Dragons characters with the help of Spencer the Dungeon Master (who...
