The "Bartleby the Scrivener, already high on sensimilla, discovers the K-hole" post

Bartleby: “I would prefer not to prefer. Or else, maybe some Gino’s pizza rolls. “Either way. I’m easy like that.”

Geek Goddess [Dan Collins]

Okay, here’s the deal. This beautiful woman is going eventually to be the most important female commentator on the news anywhere. I’m thinking that at her present age, a guy 3 or 4 years her elder is likely to be about her level of maturity. Fun, challenging, intelligent, ambitious, keen sense of the absurd, willing to put up with her independence and open-ness. If you haven’t seen the B-Cast lately,

Uberdouchezilla: ELEVENTY!!! [Dan Collins]

Olbermann lets Corporatocracy, Blackwater, Big Oil, Bechtel off hook! Keith Olbermann has become an expert in O’Reilly-baiting, but last night he may have set a new record. Olbermann pushed back against Bill O’Reilly‘s habitual NBC-bashing — a particularly nasty bout wherein O’Reilly had extrapolated from GE’s business dealings with Iran to GE chair Jeffrey Immelt bearing personal responsibility for dead American soldiers — and turned around and laid that blame

You Know What Really Sucked? [Dan Collins]

I have this friend. His wife left him for another guy, but that didn’t work out for her. Meanwhile, my friend poured his life into his work, got wealthy and bought himself a sex-bot (Evangeline). Anyway, his ex reprogrammed the damned thing to save the sperm rather than flush it, and she used it to artificially inseminate herself, and now the guy’s in court trying to overturn the child support

Don Your Hazmat Suit [Dan Collins]

Handle with extreme care: The niece of the late Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., is among a group of pro-life black leaders calling for an end to federal funding for Planned Parenthood because of what she calls Planned Parenthood’s “racist agenda.” “Planned Parenthood is definitely a racist organization – they have a racist agenda,” Dr. Alveda King told Cybercast News Service.  Here is the full article.   Read the comments at

Waaaaaah! [Dan Collins]

Stupid debates. Why do we have to have stupid debates? Video of this disgusting performance. Man up, Obama. Cuffy Meigs has the best round-up of the Woebamasphere. Here’s a suggestion: how about you stop giving us two-faced lying jackasses as candidates? More it is time for you to stop all of your sobbing, from Rachel Lucas. No good deed goes unpunished.

Another Notable Debate Freak-Out [Dan Collins; UPDATED, with verified Jeff G sighting]

At the HuffPo, Jeffrey Feldman entitles his bad acid diary entry, “Et Tu, ABC?” This casts Obama as Julius Caesar, and ABC as Brutus, which is psychologically interesting in and of itself, as Brutus was the “republican” who killed Caesar in order to thwart what he felt was his ambition to become Rome’s autocrat.  Perhaps Feldman dislikes Brutus because of the association with the word, “republican”?  No, I’m reading too much into it. These

Dems 2008: Debate critics discount character [Karl]

Those whining about the ABC News Democratic debate tend to focus on the first half of the debate.  WaPo TV critic Tom Shales writes: When Barack Obama met Hillary Clinton for another televised Democratic candidates’ debate last night, it was more than a step forward in the 2008 presidential election. It was another step downward for network news — in particular ABC News, which hosted the debate from Philadelphia and whose

Scopophilia [Dan Collins]

Women are dirty, dirty people, according to science: Researchers hypothesized women would look at faces and men at genitals, but, surprisingly, they found men are more likely than women to first look at a woman’s face before other parts of the body, and women focused longer on photographs of men performing sexual acts with women than did the males. These types of results could play a key role in helping

Social Security Crunch Illustrated [Dan Collins]

Helen Golay, 77, was found guilty Wednesday of the first-degree murders of Kenneth McDavid, 50, in 2005 and Paul Vados, 73, in 1999. The jury also convicted her of conspiracy to murder for financial gain counts in both killings. Co-defendant Olga Rutterschmidt, 75, was convicted of conspiracy to murder McDavid for financial gain as the judge decided to take five initial verdicts. I’m against the death penalty.  Mostly.
