America! Fuck yeah!
Thursday, July 3rd, 2008The Onion's AV Club has a funny list of the most hilariously hyperbolic pro-America songs. Of course, the most hilariously hyperbolic pro-America song of all time is "America! (Fuck Yeah!)" from the movie Team America: World Police, but, then, it was trying to be hyperbolic. I love the list of ...
Moderate voters tough for both McCain and Obama to win
Thursday, July 3rd, 2008The AP reports that self-described "moderate" voters will be hard for both McCain and Obama to win in this presidential election. It reminds me of the line from Brian on "Family Guy": "Undecided voters are the biggest idiots on the planet."
Funny, scathing review of Love Guru
Thursday, June 19th, 2008Dana Stevens of Slate magazine pans Mike Myers's latest movie. It sounds like the movie was about as funny as we all expected it to be. This review is probably much funnier than the movie. It's kind of funny: the funnier the review, the worse the movie probably is.
Inflation in Zimbabwe
Saturday, May 24th, 2008Maybe you're familiar with Zimbabwe's brutal racist dictatorship commanded by Robert Mugabe, its runaway inflation, its millions of starved and murdered people, and its hotly contested recent elections. Well, at least there's some humor to be had in all this, at least from our perspective as comfortable Westerners. One Ian ...
“Ralph’s ambition is to one day become a politician”
Thursday, May 15th, 2008Take a moment and read this article. No, really. You'll thank me. In fact, allow me to reproduce parts of it here for your enjoyment. Essentially, a kid in Texas - Ralph, whom I imagine looks kinda like this - stole his father's credit card and proceeded to run up a ...
Even Cartoons Get It
Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008Why are you looking at me like that? You act like you haven't seen me in a while or something. This past Sunday, lacking anything to entertain myself, I tuned into an episode of King of the Hill. The fates must have been smiling upon me that day because it turned ...
The ice cream of the future
Thursday, March 27th, 2008I've raised this point several times over the last several years: Dippin' Dots, that delicious iced cream product found in shopping malls, amusement parks, and occasionally other places, has claimed it is "the ice cream of the future" for at least 15 years. Come on, it's the future by now. ...
Stocks before whore, everyone’s poor
Thursday, March 27th, 2008The March 17 Daily Show had a great couple of segments on the idiotic federal government and Federal Reserve and the recession the United States is in. A rerun of this ran tonight at 8:00, which is why I'm blagging about it now. Talking about the $600 tax refund the State ...
Bar-stool economics
Thursday, March 20th, 2008The tax system of our country analogized to pub-goers. Kelly: To discover the only reason I deemed this link worthy of posting on our blag, notice who its author is. Hat tip: Radley Balko.
Anti-racism laws mutate racism into newer, stronger form
Tuesday, February 26th, 2008The Onion is again closer to the truth than most people appreciate. I'm starting to think that many of their writers are nothing short of geniuses.
Election results leaked early by Diebold
Tuesday, February 26th, 2008Ahh, how the Onion speaks (closer to) the truth more often than our traditional "news" outlets! Diebold Accidentally Leaks Results Of 2008 Election Early. Money quote: "This country is based on the fantasy that the government is the voice of the people."
Do we really want another black president

The Dukes of Hazzard as Christ figures
Tuesday, February 12th, 2008I can't believe I've just now gotten around to checking out Roderick T. Long's blag, Austro-Athenian Empire. It is quite insightful and entertaining. I first heard of Dr. Long, I think, from his essay about the anarchic Icelandic Free State at LRC. Don't miss the suggested readings he lists at ...
Dave Barry on the presidential nomination system
Sunday, January 27th, 2008The libertarianish humor columnist hasn't lost anything in his semi-retirement. Then again, maybe he is doing as Will Rogers did and "just watching the government and reporting the facts": On Tuesday, millions of Florida voters will head for the polls. Being Floridians, many of them will become confused and drive into ...
I love The Onion
Saturday, January 19th, 2008Our blag is young and doesn't actually have any readers, but I hope it lasts longer than President Bush's blag.
