Then, takes the day to go campaign in Vegas. And the media dutifully cover for him, while the thinkers attack Romney for his presumptuousness. Nero fiddled while Rome burned. So I guess you’ve got to hand it to Obama: at least he’s figuring out a way to maybe take in a show and hit the black jack table while the whole fucking top three layers burn off and we find

Should you ever find yourself in a hostage situation where you’re being held around the neck like James Remar holds Eddie Murphy at the end of 48 Hours, and it’s 7 yards or under, I have a 97% chance of killing your attacker with a .45 Tac pistol, provided he stands still and acts like a paper target. If he’s at 10 yards, on the other hand, your odds of

This is quite unhelpful. Quite unhelpful, indeed. Visigothery, is what it is. Hobbitry of the worst sort. And it must not stand! In fact, I feel complicit in the rape of reason itself just for having linked to the thing. It’s impolitic of me. Politically unpragmatic. And frankly is suggestive of a lack of good and proper breeding. Forgive me. Sometimes my trashy public school roots find their way up
