Did you see it? That overused, offensive, stereotypical “trope” in the opening credits— “Bitch Media.”
Here’s another one that comes crawling out of the media cave:
“Jane, Anita, you ignorant slut.”
Okay yeah, the “we’re being treated as just a bunch of tropes” riff is her thing, but it’s made possible by discarding all the other films that don’t treat women that way, isn’t it.
Why yes, I think it is.
The rift between science and religion gets a chapter in the Climate Change debacle. Enjoy your climate today; It might be gone tomorrow.
The entire idea of the “ransom of the atonement” places salvation upon a plane of unreality.
May the derp with the biggest head win. Click for too close.
WATERLOO, IOWA — Jimmy Joe Johnson, a member of the Iowa GOP’s State Central Committee and a former Iowa adviser to Ricky Santorum, said he spoke with unannounced praisedential candidate Ted Cruz about “tweaking” his economics-heavy message to best win over Iowa conservatives.
“You’ve got to enunciate the moral themes here,” Johnson told him, “Get a bigger cross, and wear it above your flag pin. If you don’t, you’ll lose.” So Ted tweaked it.
You’re probably surprised to see a super-slimmed-down Chris Christie front and center in the lineup. No more than we are; here’s what happened. Six weeks ago Christie promised himself that if he “lost” a little bit in two months, he would lob the rest of his weight into the ring. Nobody asked him whether he meant lose a kilo of cannabis, or cocaine, or human fat; or, you know, lost ground politically in New Jersey. And we’re not sure why losing something is incentive to try and win something, but he swears— a lot— that he lost it; well, actually he swears he’s just no longer looking for it.
And then there’s citizen Ricky Santorum.
On the left end, a cranky little* Marco Rubio won’t shut up about nothing in particular. And on the far right end, crippled Verbal Kint look-alike,** Randy Paul, who is still sniggering over that CPAC thing, is currently berating “potheads” that they’ll stop wanting to show up for work if they smoke all the time, annnnnd, they’ll get stupid and lazy and lose IQ points. But Randy is drawing on real world experience: remember that “Aqua Buddha” episode with his roomie? No? Seriously, NO??
Have you been smoking?

The Indonesian flight is still missing and the Christie Bridge Fiasco is still expanding faster than his third chin. But it’s Friday, the weekend is here, we be kickin’ back. So I went out to the guvmint box and got the mail. Mixed in with the usual metric ton of forest waste paper was a slick, smelly NORDSTROM NERDSTROM Men’s Shop catalog magazine. Inside were photos of skinny, underdeveloped man-children, wearing clothing that appeared uncomfortably tight, especially everywhere you normally want your clothing to be the most comfortable.
Beh Cause, FASH UN.
Don’t want to end up a cartoon in a cartoon graveyard. . .
They instantly reminded me of Pee-wee Herman; then I couldn’t see them any other way.
Get these mutts away from me; I don’t find this stuff amusing anymore. . .
So I did the only snarkological thing I could do: put Pee-wee in the clothes. But I did not mess with the clothing itself; those skinny fucking legs were there already.
“Boss”?? Ha. I totally get it now.
But somebody at Nerdstrum’s knew that many people getting their 67 page junka-log would not understand what was up with the death-camp thin fash-un-something, so they included a helpful “Anatomy of a Modern Suit” chart, that points out the what-the-fuckness to us, the great t-shirt/sweatsuit/moomoo wearing masses.

*Stereotypical nerds are commonly seen as intelligent but socially and physically awkward. They are typically perceived as either lacking confidence or being indifferent or oblivious to the negative perceptions held of them by others, with the result that they become frequent objects of scorn, snark, ridicule, bullying, and social isolation. Stereotypical “nerd” appearance includes very large glasses, braces, severe acne and high-water pants lifted up. In the media, many nerds are portrayed as being physically unfit, either overweight, or very thin.
