I love this song.

It seems that some people are allowed to be alive at the end of ‘2012′…

..and if that’s the case, I have zero interest.

I want to see a scorched earth without any living thing inhabiting the frame. Then the words ‘La Fin’ would appear on the screen and that would be it.

No credits, no music.

If this doesn’t happen at the end of ‘2012,’ it is a colossal failure for all involved.

People this stupid shouldn’t be allowed to breed or ever run for office ever again.

At a recent speech in Wisconsin, Sarah Palin asked about the ‘In God We Trust’ signage on US coins.  Excerpt from The Awl:

[...]perhaps nothing is more disturbing than the terrible conspiracy to remove “In God We Trust” from the new presidential dollar coins. (The phrase was engraved on the coins’ edge.) At a top-secret speech in Wisconsin on Friday, the former Alaska governor broached this very serious subject, asking, “Who calls a shot like that? Who makes a decision like that?”

She also added that it was disturbing.  Now, of course, I don’t know why the voices in Sarah’s head told her it was disturbing but I have a feeling why she felt the need to bring it up:

1. to communicate to her crazy as cat shit listeners that the scary black man was changing everything, even the money.  THE BEAUTIFUL MONEY OF AMERICA IS BEING RAPED! (Can you imagine all these people going home and dumping all their change on the kitchen table to examine it? That thought does make me laugh.)

2. She’s got nothing else to say.  She can’t speak knowledgeably about anything that is relevant and truthful so she has to create false narratives for Americans who cherish their paranoia like a first-born child.

But, but, but…

Sarah was totally wrong in trying to blame Obama for changing the position of “In God We Trust” — it was the Boy King George W. Bush who made the change and President Obama who changed it back.

Now, I have to ask myself if Trig told his mother that she was incorrect and she decided to go with the speech as is.

Yeah, I said Trig.

Because clearly he’s much smarter than his mother.

I am obsessed with Measha Brueggergosman.

Andre Agassi doing meth. Sorry, Andre, not buying.  I do believe the part about the hair extensions, though.

You know what’s entertaining as hell?  Newsweek writer Allison Samuels being dinged by the blogosphere for casting judgment on Angelina and Brad’s black hair management skills. Dear Allison Samuels, if you BELIEVE the issue of self-esteem is so vital for black children, I think it might be helpful if you also educate black parents about the need to maintain self-esteem for their children, as well.  [Newsweek]

I’m writing in a candidate for Mayor next Tuesday.  Bloomberg is too much of a plutocrat and Bill Thompson doesn’t really want to be mayor; he just wants to be in politics.

Mike Albo has been treated harsher by the NY Times than Judy Miller (witch) and Maureen Dowd (careerist hack).  And David Pogue (tech grifter). [nytpicker]

Giuliani is an amoralistic, opportunistic bottom-feeder.  I’m not going to say anything about Bloomberg, but you sleep with the dog, you wake up with fleas.
