NON, JE NE SUIS PAS CHARLIE. Charlie Hebdo publie des connerie racistes

Might a satirist consider exercising SOME discretion in one’s pursuit of Freedom of Speech? AS IF that is Charlie Hebdo’s lofty ideal. Heralded as court jesters, I would submit they are weapons of cultural imperialism, the point men propagandists in … Continue reading

ARGO is a near deftly crafted thriller, jingoist agitprop, full-on Islamophobic mockumentary

Right wing blogger asshole Andrew Breitbart died of shame, obviously

More likely gout. Obviously Breitbart’s body lacked the bilious elasticity of Bill O’Reilly or Rush Limbaugh. Speaking of which, were you in the loop on this email joke? A young black Limbaugh asks his mom; “Mommy, how come I’m black … Continue reading

I knew it would happen eventually. Steve Jobs left me his money.

Yep, some barrister in London, cleverly hiding his real address behind an Email address in Ghana, informed me about midnight that Steve Jobs had left me the bulk of his fortune. I assume that it’s a large amount of money.

I dunno, maybe that was some kind of sign, you reckon?
