In Mala Fide

This is the most awesome thing you will see today. Everything about this anti-Obama agitprop piece is perfect. The staging is stylish. The lyrics are catchy. And most importantly, the people in it look COOL (though I’m still wondering why that one guy is dressed like a pirate). Even the fat birther at the end, [...]

To me, the most terrifying thing about the Joe Stack affair isn’t that another manifesto-writing rage killer made a suicide attack on a government building that wounded over a dozen people. It’s the fact that I agree with about 95 percent of what he had to say. That’s right – I have very little quarrel [...]

Yesterday afternoon was my office’s Christmas party, held at a nondescript chain restaurant in the suburbs. You wish you were me. Anyway, after four chicken wings, three mozzarella sticks, and a pint-and-a-half of Yuengling had worked their way through my system, I burst into the bathroom for the mother of all excretions. I squeezed my [...]

Last night, I was at one of my favorite haunts for a sandwich when I saw the sort of sight that makes for amusing blog fodder. After me and my friend placed our orders at the register, we went to find a booth to sit down when I saw a thirty-ish black woman resting her [...]

Ironic left this comment on yesterday’s post on the rich being chased out of the Capital District’s cities: A more accurate representation would be forcing the slave-owner to live on the slave plantation THAT HE OWNS. And I think that is a SWELL idea. They too should enjoy the Good Times their immigration, welfare, and [...]

I’ve become convinced that there is a massive, sick conspiracy among American journalism schools. Some time between the young, fresh-faced kids’ arrival at university and their graduation into the big, bad world, they are kidnapped and given full frontal lobotomies. It’s the only way to explain how reporters everywhere can consistently churn out idiotic stories, [...]

From Capitol Confidential: The Watertown Daily Times reports that Republican Dede Scozzafava is folding her tents due to a lack of funds and a new Siena poll, released just this morning, that finds her too far behind Democrat Bill Owens and insurgent Conservative candidate Doug Hoffman to stand a chance of winning Tuesday’s special election [...]

I spent my Columbus Day (fuck you, you revisionist whiners – you fought the white man and the white man won) chilling with the guys at this place: The SWPL idolization of European culture that they do as a way of making themselves feel superior to the rest of us becomes hilarious when you realize [...]

As of this writing, it’s 45 degrees in my area of the Capital District. In fucking October. It’s so cold during the day I have to wear a winter coat and a hat. So what happened to the global warming that was going to kill us all again? PROGRAMMING NOTE: I have an entry at [...]

The years between presidential elections and midterm elections are exciting depressing eventful ones for Empire State residents, as it’s the year in which all of the major cities hold their mayoral elections. Having lived in this shithole of a state for most of my life, I’ve become an expert on the politics of New York. [...]
