I don’t mean to be judgey but… Can we talk about birding? Or birders? Or whatever these people are called? I remember seeing that Jack Black and Owen Wilson movie about this a couple years ago and thinking mayhaps it was a hobby for the friendless or weirdoes or mid-life crisisers. You’d think this would make me an excellent candidate what with my woodsy-loving proclivities and lonerism – but the.. Read More
Peace and pissing contests: Hannity vs. Brand

And nothing could reinforce this fact more than his recent commentary in which he enacted one of my most fond go-to weapons when I wanna apologize but not really: the timeless tool of descriptive rohypnol for the purposes of spiking a half assed concession or mea culpa into a nice warm cup of WTF with a teaspoon of “it ain’t..
