Stranger Than Fiction
This a movie review not to miss.
Grow that Porterhouse.
Isn’t that a quaint idea? Practically, of course, Agricorps are not gonna let that happen. Grow our fleshy consumption, instead of having to deal with all the messy skinning and punching of holes in bovine heads with pneumatic jackhammers… honestly. i’d like to get rid of my meaty meats craving. but alas tis’ summer. Soju and the grill calls… oh how my arteries harden…
i still love this picture…how appropriate… pizzicato 5’s Sukiyaki just started playing…
I leave you to slates musings.
mooooo
Michelle Malkin
From Wikipedia:
“Critics have also referred to her as “an Asian Ann Coulter,” to which Malkin has responded “I’m not Asian, I’m American, for goodness sake…”
Well, honey, you’re definitely not white. In the current dichotomy pointed out there, the fact remains - you’ll probably never be part that club.
Misguided? Or Myopic thinker?
Your choice.
There is an expression on my face right now that cannot be recorded by words.
Happy 3 year anniversary, Iraq War!
Well Iraq War - it’s been a rocky road of a 3 years, so I thought that for our anniversary, maybe we should get over the hostility and have a nice candlelit dinner together - you know, just to talk. We don’t really get to do that so much nowadays.
Just so you know, though - before we kick the romance into high gear and I start (am forced into) going into a litany on how great you are again, I think I should get a few things off my chest. You never seem to listen to me on any other day, so tonight, I think you owe me that much.
First off: YOU NEVER LISTEN TO ME! Seriously. Not only do I seem to walk away from every conversation with the short end of the stick, but you tend to have this way of trying to be as inconspicuous as possible when I’m tied up with something else. MY theory is that you’re trying to avoid questions, which you certainly seem to not like very much even when they’re something inane like, “so whatcha up to today?” and “do you really think those black sacks will make the best party hats for that thing you’re throwing?” (on that note, you haven’t been too great at taking some constructive criticism every now and then either).
Secondly, I’ve noticed of recently that I’m desperately broke, so much so that I’m pretty sure they wouldn’t even give me a band-aid at an emergency room and that my kids are going to grow up to be illiterate hobos. I’m pretty sure that’s because of you. I seem to be spending allot to keep you happy . . .
And I know it’s kinda old, but I’m sorry about the whole not-being-able-to-find-you-any-WMD thing, because I know how badly you wanted to be seen in public with those. But don’t worry, it’s not trinkets that validate your existence; it’s the willingness of people go along with the idea that you’re “worthwhile”, which -I’m sorry, I know as your lover, it’s my duty to be supportive and all, so I shouldn’t be saying this, but it’s really how I feel- I think is a charade.
If anything, I’m thinking that I should start listening to all my friends who are telling me that I’m totally whipped over you and need to pull out. Though seeing how your crazy friends seem to have so much more say in the matter than my friends, my own experiences, or common sense for that matter, I have the feeling we’re going to stay the course for allot longer than anyone had ever hoped for.
In the end, though, I guess the one thing I like about you is that as much as I’ve been a whiny complaing jerk to you all evening, you will continue to fuck me, and probably do so till the end of your days. So salud and cheers to you Iraq War! I hope you appreciate how hopelesly in debt I am because of you and how much more my friends and enemies alike want to kick my ass on your account.
Man, you really are a bitch . . .
The Sound of Music + totalitarian despots= Juche: the musical.
OK OK i know the Sound of Music had FASCISM not “socialist democracies”… but whatever. For those of you who dont know. Juche= Self reliance or rebuilding of oneself and it’s the dogma of North Korea’s existence…
I speak of such as the musical “Yodok Story” opened in Seoul as of recent. Written by a North Korean ex prisoner- it deals with the controversial and rather edgy subject of the current condition of thier northern counterparts. Subject matter not to be taken lightly, especially in light of the recent moves towards ‘reconciliation.’ The piece has no qualms of delving melodiously into the subjects of torture, rape, and the other horrors of gulag life. Indeed, so edgy that people have backed out due to fear of government retribution…
Seeing North korea is the only decrepit remnant of the cold war, it’s an absurd and tragic concept to consider that in the year 2006 Berlin is one berlin. the USSR no longer exists. and China is a macdonalds slurping capitalist powerhouse. Yet at the 38th parallell there still remains the DMZ (which contrary to its name- is still highly militarized)-Mcarthyist legacies. spoils of the second war… The “two” countries are poised ready with artillery and missiles that are capable of massacring MILLIONS of Koreans, due to the population densities- within in a single hour… so lets get to the music and dancing.
ED I DEMAND YOU INVESTIGATE!
The Passion of the Scott McClellan
Jebus - between having to explain corruption scandals, high-ranking White House advisors getting busted for shoplifting at Target, and Vice Presidents shooting people in the face, my hat begrudgingly goes off to White House head spinner, Scott McClellan, because it probably really sucks in the most squirm-inducing manner possible to have to explain all that stuff.
For what were probably some of the more colorful mornings McClelan has had to deal with, click here.

So terrible that there are no words to describe this (aside from terrible)
Don’t ask why I was here in the first place, but for some of the most obnoxiously backwards jingoist madness you’ll ever see -so bad, you can’t even get angry so much as sit in your physical space of “chair” and your metaphysical space of “confused defeat” and go “WTF??”, try again to get angry but remember the defeat, and add in a second confused “WTF??“- brave your way to probush.com
Though these John Kerry Fairy pics were admitedly kinda funny.
Brown like me?
For those of you who have a clear idea of what is culture or what is identity, put it in your hand, look at it, and then realize you’re an idiot for thinking you can encapsulate the ever fluctating and complex series of discourses in one place. It’s not possible to go over such things in one sitting, but only hope when engaged in the subject you walk away some understanding that the world refuses to partitioned out in tight neat compartments, but instead likes to bleed out and cover everything.
What do we really know about each other? FX has a new show entitled, “Black.White.” in which families swap races. The idea has the set up of a Dave Chappelle skit. I haven’t seen the show, but for you folks with cable it might tickle that curiousity nerve.

Bono says. Let us consume. Together. with conscience… Riiiiiiiight….
This new Amex ploy pulls on your heart strings (as opposed to pulling your “restricted mileage” or “free tea cozy” strings) to rake in their massive interest based windfalls. The U2 boyo behind this gets a “better than nothing” award. but really people. do the math. with the interest rates at 13% the donations barely make up even the interest… a sham? obviously. but again better than those bastards promoting crack rewards or like charred baby rewards… mmmmmm crack.
and does anyone else think AMERICAN EXPRESS in the UK is somewhat. strange.
RED = COMMIE SCOURGE = REPUBLICAN STATES = AMEX?!
Oh, Professor Portman!
Fresh from the whole Natalie tip.
Just a copy of an article from Gawker
Hello! magazine reports that gangsta-rapping starlet Natalie Portman stopped by Columbia University on Monday to give an undergraduate lecture on counterterrorism. She went to Harvard, you know, which means she’s in the position to educate the children of the lesser ivies on all matters of international import. Writes a student:
Ms. Portman’s cameo in Professor Stuart Gottlieb’s Terrorism and Counterterrorism class was part of a MTV-U promotion for her latest flick, V for Vendetta, in which her character mounts a revolutionary campaign against a totalitarian government and generally blows shit up.
A sampling of the truths Ms. Portman imparted in the 20-minute Q&A session following a somber Frontline documentary on Al Qaeda, Guantanamo and the CIA’s counterterrorism tactics:
- “My immediate reaction is that torture is wrong.”
- “I don’t think it’s right to take down the Twin Towers.”
- “Censorship is bad.”
That’s what $30k-plus in tuition gets you: substitute teaching from junket-happy starlets.
