By the time you finish reading this post, Janeane Garofalo will have been “cooly ironic” for 17 years, 2 months, 4 days, 9 hours, 11 minutes, and (roughly) 25 seconds straight. Not that she cares what any of you unhip mallshoppers think.

You mean “cooly ironic” in a non-ironic, Alanis Morissette kind of way, right ?
I’m still waiting for the broken glass knee crawling she promised, that little lying pox on my generation….
I thought she was ironically cool.
I have to start watching more TV, obviously.
Janeane Garafolo is to hip as Danny Bonaduce was to bass players…
and she’s so ironic about her definitions, too. about a year ago i remember seeing her on Real Time with Bill Maher where she whined that people were being “criminalized” for speaking out against the war (i believe she was referring to the Dixie Chicks). David Frum, another panelist said (and i paraphrase) “what the hell are you talking about? Who’s being arrested, WHO’s being prosecuted for protesting the war??!” and she immediately shot back that “one does not have to be arrested or prosecuted to be criminalized…”
she’s so awesome. i think i love her.
“[…]Danny Bonaduce was to bass players…”
“i think i love her.”
So what am I so afraid of?
Well, I’ll tell ya. I’m afraid that I’m not sure of the ironic cool that there’s no cure for.
I was going to go with Jeremy Gelbwacks and drummers but figured that was way too obscure. Plus he was replaced by Brian Forester anyway. Wonder why?
She was cooly ironic for, maybe, the first couple of years. She has long since slipped over into delusionally moonbat status
