Can I just say that I prefer Manic Pixie Deschanel to Emo Malkovich (henceforth, Emolkavich) and Samuel L. "Hotspacho" Jackson.
Hmmm… that’s a tough one.
Can I say none of the above?

But. But. I like quirky girls like Zooey Deschanel.
Yeah, but do you want to spend time with someone who must ask their phone if it’s raining versus looking out a window?
It would be quirky to dance to shake, rattle, and roll in the rain. But the rain would muss her carefully applied and smudged makeup, and fry Siri. That’s not quirky, that’s high-maintenance.

Tits or GTFO
I don’t think you understand how this internet thing works, anon. You don’t get to tell me to GTFO from my own blog. But bless your little heart for trying to troll.
Cheers,

According to the Lawyer's Guild the charges against the activists that were basically disappeared in the middle of the night before the NATO protests are false. Worse still, there are many comrades who are in detention now and no one knows where they are.
This smacks of Minnesota in 2008 before the RNC convention. What worries me about this is the additional wrinkle of NDAA…
Please, keep me posted. This is terrible. Does anyone have more information?

Just a question: Do you remember doing your show last week? Because it was groovy loopy and I want to know the song you played when you were talking about the lab school kids.
Yes, I do remember doing the show. And I suspect my epic no-sleep stretch is the reason anon is asking this question. The last two days of finals week, I was awake for roughly 42 hours. By the time I went on-air, I had been awake for 36 hours and my husband had to drive me to and from my show. I felt like I probably could drive, but had enough cognitive functioning left to realize it was a really bad idea.
Anyhow, your song. Checking the recording, it was “Daylight” by Matt & Kim.

Is daddy Rupert gonna make Shep Smith disappear? *sniff*
Sweet chocolate Christ, I hope not. Maybe Shep is allowed to continue because Rupert Murdoch can point to him and say, “SEE, I TOLD YOU WE’RE FAIR AND BALANCED!”
I hope…

What gives you faith in humanity?
That posts about organized labor, my political commentary, and why Ron Paul is bad for America get more reblogs than cute pictures of my cats — these things are just a few reasons that give me faith in humanity.

Goddammit, Anon.
How did you know I can’t resist playing Andrew W.K. if it’s requested?
I’ll even forgive the caps lock.

So this might be a dumb question but how do you use a condom "right"? Do you know? I read somewhere people use them wrong a lot.
It IS possible to use them wrong. And I’ll give you a helpful post on how to use them right in just a moment.

Shouldn't you switch the first yes and no on your chart?
Nope — if Santorum’s wife isn’t in the photo, it doesn’t matter. You can’t use her absence to make a claim of homosexuality. See “beard” as explanation.
Wherein it’s easy to get jobs these days
Anonymous asked:
I’m tired of the debate about having a welfare state. If your poor, get a job. If you have a job and are still poor, get a better one. Community collage is cheap. There’s federal money to go to school. Walk into somewhere that’s hiring, fill out an application, and get a job. I’ve never failed to get a job when I need one.
Meg at Cognitive Dissonance:
Well…
And by that, I mean if it were that easy, we’d all be able to get jobs no problem. So you’ve always gotten a job? I have something for you:
Aren’t you proud? And it’s “college” — though a community collage could be fun! We’re living in an economic situation that’s marked by 5-6 applicants per open position. Even in times of economic prosperity, the unemployment rate is never zero.
And yes, there IS federal money to go to school. It doesn’t cover tuition at many universities — even at maximum benefit. Also, you’re assuming someone can get into school and finish it. What about parents? What about those without a HS Diploma or GED? What about someone who’s been out of the labor market for a few years.
Your naïvety must be purposeful — I just can’t believe you think it’s that easy to find work. But thank you, Anon. I’m sure we all just didn’t get that it was that simple. I’ll let Charlie Kelly break it down for you:
