his view of hillary
"I would argue that a woman's role as nurturer and object of desire, as well as her less imposing stature, tend to confuse, or even vitiate, her authority."

in other news, people are absolutely horrible:
Driver drops bid to sue family of boy he killed


thanks matt and maggie for the heads up.

dirty scrabble

try unscrambling the first line.



an excellent find from andy.

proud to be a michigander

miss michigan won the miss america competition (yes, the one with the talent competition), and she is pretty hot.


but this woman is way too tan to be from michigan. it's january, people.

also, i am absolutely loving this kwame kilpatrick text message scandal. do plan on carrying on an affair with your chief of staff? don't send a shitton of text messages detailing every room where you've done the deed (such as room 311 at the residence inn in madison heights, of all places). i was looking for more hilarious transcripts, but this will have to do

KK: I'm at Laker game. The security doesn't believe I'm mayor. [not anymore!] Mike is pulling out all kind of shirt to prove it.
CB: And, did you miss me, sexually? [no, just your stunning intellect.]
KK: Hell yeah! You couldn't tell. I want some more. Don't sleep! [kwame's hungry ...]

thanks jesse, for the research help.

punching a girl in the face

wtf. i work blogged about this university of utah story yesterday, and the follow-up story isn't that interesting.

but what is interesting is that the guy who wrote the story is named "tony pizza." this must be fake.

mmmm, sushi

all this talk of mercury-filled tuna makes me want to eat sushi more and more.


i love living on the edge.

what i did on my 24th birthday

going to the WWII memorial and the air and space museum are awesome ideas. check out these hot pics:


what would make this complete is if i was pointing to where on my hand i used to live.


some chromo something or other image of my bro and i

if you combine that with the triple pig action--best birthday ever?

two cool cousins

cousin mike sent me this gem of a video:


Funny Kid Isnt Sorry About Huge Party - Watch more free videos
the best part is this whole fight he has w/ the broadcaster about his glasses. i'm pretty sure she wants to stab herself in the face.

and lastly from cousin allen, a headline from yahoo health (not even some dinky school newspaper)::
Dsylexia Can Be Overcome
and if you don't find that mildly funny, then maybe you have dyslexia too.

best birthday gift ever?

yeah, i got a sweet burberry clutch from my mom, but is that really better than 3 pigs on a string?


if you were wondering, the big pig represents the pentagon budget; the middle pig, the education budget; and the smallest pig, money to fight world hunger.
but really, the point is that this thing waddles like a mofro. fo sho.

texas

this just in: texas hates its children.

an apropos typo

from the university of alabama's crimson white:

"Site offers cheapter textbooks"

desperately needed.

one more baby abuse photo

thanks, jess, for the tip.

my christmas vacation

with a week to reflect upon my time at home, i can definitively say this is what i did over the holidays.

1. went to my palace, somerset mall. almost every day.

2. played guitar hero 3. until my wrist and fingers hurt.

3. watched movies
national treasure: so bad, it's still bad.
enchanted: the excellent moral to the story was don't get married after a day. or 5 years.
sweeney todd: if you like/tolerate musicals and excessive/gleeful blood and gore, this is excellent holiday fare.

4. hung out with babies. lots. of. babies. a small sampling


5. ate a lot

6. drank a little, mostly this:



7. played pictionary. can you guess what these are?


what are these scribbles? from left to right.
1. two interpretations of an ostrich.
2. next was "stake," which was only guessed (by me) after the fangs were drawn in. big surprise there
3. let's just say i froze up after the artist drew water, then a stick figure with huge boobs, then violently circled the crotch area. it's obviously a bikini.
4. other attempts: wolverine, pacman, and the 7yo guessed spider. correct answer = crab

it's almost 70 degrees in dc today

this was my life in michigan exactly a week ago:


call me a freak, but i sort of miss home.

lost in translation

latest news: ford motor company might be selling its british brands jaguar and land rover to an indian company named tata motors. i don't know what "tatas" means in india, but it means boobs in the u.s.
definitely one of the many perks of globalization.

speaking of boobs, a perry bible fellowship comic for you. (click pic to enlarge, obv.)

sci-fi blog? wish i thought of it first

from the people who brought us gawker and wonkette is the IO9 blog, completely dedicated to all things sci-fi.

a sampling of awesomeness

happy new year to me

thanks to lloyd carr, this year's january 1 was a marked improvement over the last. hooray to michigan football for not allowing me to watch the bowl game in a DC bar. alone. wearing the maize and blue. meeting a stage actor from michigan who was recently in an episode of law and order. taking a shot every time USC scored. and subsequently getting absolutely wrecked only having to show up to work the next morning on my 3rd full week at the job. (true story)

programming note: sorry for the blogging vacation i took, but there will be mass reports of my time spent in michigan. a teaser: snow, babies, pictionary, movies, and guitar hero.
