The Pie Fight Chronicles

Fig. 13. Hot castaway-on-castaway axxxion!!!
Part I: The Gathering Storm
Who doesn’t enjoy Burnt Orange Report, the popular Texas politics blog run by a handful of plucky, knowledgeable, articulate UT student Democrats? They are very serious about it, which is admirable, considering that Texas has the most dreadfully comical politics of any state in the union.

Women. Always Making Stuff Complicated.

Unidentified doofus (not pictured: smokin’ hot, wisecracking wife)
You know the Doofus. He’s one of the more repellent recurring characters in our cultural narrative, the balding, pudgy, slightly homely, solidly middle class guy with arrested development, limited mental faculties, and a heart of gold. His foil is the good-looking, intelligent, mildly acerbic wife whose slender […]

Downing Street In The Afternoon

Just five scant weeks after its release by London Times, puffy senator Ted Kennedy keenly perceives existence of Downing Street Memo, invites astonished US Senate to join him in speaking out about it. It’s good that Ted’s on the ball, since Conyers can’t do it all alone, and the press corps has obviously been kidnapped […]

A Few Uplifting Remarks

Some species of Theridiidae, or cobweb weaver, gettin busy in the Twisty recycle bin, June 2005
Update (not that I expect any but the nerdiest among you to get excited about this): Professor John A. Jackman of the Entomology Department at Texas A&M, who gets paid fabulous sums to pronounce on these matters, says these aren’t […]

Filet Mignon Erythemis: guaranteed to unfurrow the brow of any spinster aunt
The first season of “Deadwood” waits on my shelf, so I cannot explain why I got outside this exquisite dish while watching “Malcolm In The Middle.” This is a show that was once uttlerly hilarious, but which has now become so farcical–and not in […]

Coverage Coverage

As part of the Twisty Institute of Patriarchy-Blaming’s ongoing research into the American sex class and its consequences, today we look at “coverage.” Coverage is what a garment has when it reveals less of what gives men erections.
For example, J.Crew is currently hawking a “boy-leg hipster bikini” with “full […]

Texas Governor Lacks Clue Re: US Constitution

Rabbi David Stone, Fort Worth’s Jewish Ned Flanders: "Isn’t it awesome to have a godly governor?"–Ft. Worth Star-Telegram
Undoubtedly it’s all in a day’s work for guys like the Taliban to confuse God with country, to enact vengeful, discriminatory, and patently insane legislation, and to celebrate same in a church amid a cheering throng of the […]

Pimpgate

Earlier today I was daydreaming about a few clever ideas that the major American news organizations might implement to justify their existence. I was thinking that one way would be to do some reporting.
CNN.com, for example, is currently featuring as its top headline the failure of a pretty Alabama teenager, on a graduation trip in […]

Press Celebrates Lost Art

OK. Get over Deep Throat already.
Because, hey mainstream press! History ≠ News! Seriously! Look it up!
Does nobody see the irony? […]

Friday Tearjerker

This is Fletchy. He is a 6-month-old Golden Retriever puppy. He was purchased from a hunter in San Antonio who thinks he is a gun dog breeder. This hunter, a redneck and a douchebag, had the bright idea of putting a plastic zip-tie around the puppy’s neck for a collar. "Set it and forget it!" […]
