    ohhleary:

    It’s going to snow here today and tonight, and every single local TV news station is forecasting a different amount. Some say one inch, some say six.

    That’s what she said.

This is the shitbag, kid-toucher who was so immensely popular on Houston radio and helped get the idiot elected governor, and by extension President. He was really, really into deregulation of all utilities. You know the shit that led to the blackouts in California, and Enron.  His name was John Matthews and Chris Hanson would have loved him.

Har har, I actually worked that case….

Oh that’s interesting. He was really popular back in the day…

  16. "Texas Democrats have seen their party stumble and fall in statewide races again and again since 1994, when the Republican candidate for governor, George W. Bush, defeated the incumbent, Ann Richards. As conservative Democrats defected to the Republicans, Mr. Bush and his party swept the state four years later and the Republicans have dominated Texas ever since."

    Popular Democratic Mayor, Bill White of Dallas, to Run for Governor of Texas - NYTimes.com

    This is when shit started falling apart, people. If you think Captain Cowboy was a bumbling, stumbling pig fucker for 8 years you should have seen him back then. And I was there. I’ll always blame talk-radio fuckwads in Houston for the otherwise popular Ann Richards losing. And one of the most popular at the time ended up getting arrested for soliciting middle school girls. He lived in my neighborhood and had a reputation for being a massive prick to the nice people at the Chinese Restaurant.

  17. "N + 1—the literary magazine whose lack of affect is downright cryogenic—ran a negative review of Nehring’s book A Vindication of Love by Emily Gould, not to be confused with the late Eleanor Gould, the venerable grammarian of The New Yorker fondly known as “the phantom diddler."

  21. Man Sentenced To British Version Of The Death Penalty | The Awl

    I can’t even watch The American version of the Death Penalty because the British version is superior, especially Gareth.

  23. "Here you have all these girls accepting gifts, money, trips from Tiger in exchange for sex—all the while knowing he is married. And now they all can’t wait to tell their stories in exchange for even more money…And I was the hooker? At least I kept my mouth shut."

    Yes, Ashley, you were a hooker. Who are you again?

    It’s the first time Sundance will screen a stand-up comedy concert film, quite a feat with the likes of Jerry Seinfeld, Eddie Murphy and Chris Rock having made plenty of concert films combined.

“My daughter found this sweater in a vintage shop in SoHo, and it’s now on display inside our flagship store on Fifth Avenue in New York. I pray every day that some overeager associate won’t sell it by mistake. It’s easy to imagine this knit being worn by an Olympian in the 1940s, but its shape also reminds me of a White Stag ski sweater that I had in the ’60s. Whatever period it conjures, I promise you that its easy elegance will endure. Look at those colors: red, white and blue. That’s America. But when you pull it over your head, somehow you don’t feel like a flagpole. That’s just good design.”
Tommy Hilfiger, writing in T Magazine.
Perhaps Tommy can send this sweater down to the veteran in Richmond, VA to whom a local homeowners’ association is being a complete dick.

Why isn’t Glenn Beck writing about this? Why does he hate America?
