The Economist Weighs In on Bullshitgate
This line stung: “A couple of weeks ago Dan Savage… gave the right a gift.” I certainly did, Economist, and I certainly regret it.

Kirk Cameron Watch: “I’m Not Saying Obama is Hitler, Buuuuuut…”
Mike Seaver (Kirk Cameron of Growing Pains) used to bug me… because a) he’s a sanctimonious, religious ass and b)… nope, that pretty much sums it up. But I’ve EVOLVED, people! Cameron’s idiocy is reaching new glorious heights every single day, and I’ll be goddamned if I’m gonna miss any of it. Here’s Kirk on […]
