Earth Hour 2009 Photo "Timelapses" →
Iconic landmarks shut off the spotlights for Earth Hour. Click on the images to see them go dark. I’m so easily amused.
Why life is unfair.

ZERO stars.
27 stars. And counting. Guess why I’m not one of them? That’s right. BECAUSE I SHOULD BE THE ONE DRINKING STARBUCKS.
Sadface.
Uh oh, controversey brewing on favrd. I’ll just point out what the rest of you are thinking: for the first time in eight years, you can’t blame this one on the Americans! MWAHAHAHAHAHA!

I forgot to add this track to my Spring Fuck Yeah mix for Kelly Deal last week. One spring day about 12 years ago, I went for a hike by myself and played this song about 20 times in a row. A bear could have tried to attack me and I would have convinced him to sing along with me instead.
It just occured to me that it also makes for a pretty good Twitter theme song, what with the bird imagery and...
AIG Employee Resignation Letter →

Sometimes I forget that, at its best, Wonkette can still skewer politics and media during the day as well as John Stewart at night. When news networks start reporting on themselves, they’re clearly going for ratings rather than the vaunted “truth.” Watch the CNN video, too, in which you can tell that Anderson Cooper feels a little dirty trying to make a big deal out of...

I hereby begin the canonical list of questions for which there are no good answers:
Which of these kids is boning my teenage daughter?
What kind of cancer do I have?
What is that sticky stuff that I just stepped in with my bare feet?

Depression is real. Suicide is always tragic, never romantic.
