Corey Haim’s “Notes from the Afterlife,” 3

So there I am, smoking a roach on the bus stop bench across from this great little dive taco stand River Phoenix turned me on to — when it hits me: what if I’m not in Heaven after all, you know? — But then, almost like a sign, this totally stacked chick appears out of nowhere and jams her tongue in my ear. Not only that, but she’s sporting full-on

“Senate’s fix to health care law slowed by snag”

From the AP: Brushing off a snag in the Senate, House Democratic leaders said they are prepared to finish work by late Thursday on a package of fixes to the big health care law signed by President Barack Obama. […] “The Senate is expected to complete work this afternoon on the improvements bill to the new health care reform law,” said Hoyer, D-Md. “If they finish their work later today

More on yours truly, this time from the soft left pole of the progressive-“pragmatic conservative” axis of Jeff Hate. “What do you do in the wake of a crushing political defeat?”:

Unlimited Semiosis and the crisis of interpretation

— Or, “once a word can mean anything, it will mean everything.” David Harsanyi, writing in the Denver Post: As a layman, I have little business wading into the intricacies of constitutional law — though, in my limited understanding of this nation’s founding tenets, forcing patriots to buy something in the private market seems to undermine the entire point of the project. Judging from the celebratory mood of the Democrats,

a little over four years ago…

Never before in my lifetime did I find it even remotely possible that our country could fight another civil war. But I’m beginning to think that a (non-violent) civil war is coming—and that, frankly, it needs to happen. How it

my first short conversation with an incredibly painful case of viral pharyngitis

me: “Would it help if I maybe sucked on an ice cube or something, you think –?” viral pharyngitis: “Depends. You give up on trying to bang it already?”

Gleaming the cube: a rebuke to the idea of a “progressive” cultural singularity of cool

I’m getting a bit fed up with the insistence by statists that because they populate the arts and the academy, they have some kind of death grip on “hip.” For instance, here’s Nishi, whose only hope of ever really touching cool would be to pay somebody to fuck her once with an ice dong: Doughy Pantsload aka Jonah Goldberg is the antithesis of cool …. .he doesnt even get that

Another moment of unabashed pragmatism

I thought about maybe going out and picking up a Subway turkey melt, but then I a was all like, meh, I don’t really feel much like driving — so I ate a couple slices of leftover sausage pizza and whacked off to “Three’s Company,” instead. Now I’m thinking maybe a nap. Or a Subway turkey melt, if I somehow get really really motivated.

“Good for the Gander”

From Dan Foster at the Corner: Sen. Chuck Grassley (R., Iowa) “will offer an amendment during Senate debate on the health care reconciliation bill this week to apply the reform legislation to the President, Vice President, cabinet members and top White House staff,” according to a press release. Grassley said, “It’s only fair and logical that top administration officials, who fought so hard for passage of this overhaul of America’s
