Right. People with guns.

Guns don’t kill people. People do. That’s why they shouldn’t have guns

“Let’s face facts: The boomers always detested Generation X. They felt threatened by our youth, confused by our lack of earnestness, and deeply troubled by our lack of appreciation for James Taylor.”

I think about this piece so often!

TEAM JAMES TAYLOR.

Feh. I was just saying to someone (@gf, I’m sure) recently that James Taylor was considered a hack when I was in college. And I was in college when Bakes was in diapers. Also: I thought JT was the wife beater (love the GeoCities styling!), since 70’s crooners are so indistinguishable. Related: @gf didn’t even know who Jackson Browne was.

This just occurred to me: aside from being absolutely counter-intuitive, aren’t television recaps just sort of sad in their current incarnation?

Things are tough all over. But usually it’s a little harder for the people who aren’t drinking and driving.

Always the same story — Harvard grad takes a job whoring for rent money until he finds a full time gig as pretend iconoclast yelling trite aphorisms to the converted.

As much as we might lament the overturning of gay marriage in Maine (do people even have sex there? shit is cold), let’s not lose sight of the fact that they came out a solid 60/40 in favor of expanding medical mary jane. Thanks for that, because government discount schwag is my retirement plan at this point.

I’d like to give a shout out to the other 1,400-odd wackoes that voted SWP with me. Fein next time!

I’m not the sort of person who runs with ‘bias’ arguments — if pressed I argue that people are biased towards their social background and aspiration (which ever seems more beneficial at the time), but if we are tying to be be somewhat objective, Politico, isn’t it more notable that Maine might break for gay marriage via popular referendum than two GOP gubernatorial races?

$90 Million for 49%? I’m thinking the bonuses are going to be lower this go-round.
