What are some things that ensue?
(besides kickoffs and hilarity)
I always take the stairs two at a time. I don't even think about it anymore. The regular way would seem weird.
Modern Family is so good.
“I can’t wait to go Siegfried and Roy on your ass.”
I love sentences with several different meanings.
This German lingerie ad (warning: contains soft-focus footage of the female form in all its pulchritude - don’t stampede all at once) has a cool superficial smartness with what is intended to be an O Henry switcheroo at the tail.
I think it’s more like wishful thinking. For one thing, if the actress were truly a believer as opposed to a jobbing actress, taking this underdressed gig would earn her an honor killing. Enjoy the multiculti sophisticated jests while you can, lads.
H1N1 is boring
So far there have been only 1000 H1N1-related deaths in the U.S.
Regular flu kills 36,000 Americans every year.
But yeah, Mr. President. It’s a big effing emergency.
Yawn.
The Obama administration on Thursday failed in its attempt to manipulate other news networks into isolating and excluding Fox News, as Republicans on Capitol Hill stepped up their criticism of the hardball tactics employed by the White House.
The Obama administration on Thursday tried to make “pay czar” Kenneth Feinberg available for interviews to every member of the White House pool except Fox News. The pool is the five-network rotation that for decades has shared the costs and duties of daily coverage of the presidency.
But the Washington bureau chiefs of the five TV networks consulted and decided that none of their reporters would interview Feinberg unless Fox News was included.
The administration relented, making Feinberg available for all five pool members and Bloomberg TV.
The two-faces of Barack Obama
Barack Obama is pretty interesting when he gets in front of his money-givers — his biggest fans, I guess. In New York, he said, “Democrats are an opinionated bunch. You know, the other side, they just kinda sometimes do what they’re told. Democrats, y’all thinkin’ for yourselves.” Last year, in San Francisco, he said of Middle Americans, “It’s not surprising … they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them …”
He speaks a lot differently — a lot more respectfully — when he has one of his big national addresses: Then, we’re not red states or blue states but the United States, blah, blah, blah. Well, which is the real O? The nice, inclusive guy or the sneering, contemptuous partisan? I vote the latter: I think it’s the real O, unfortunately: the one who speaks to Democrats in New York and San Francisco. But I am not much of a psychiatrist.

By the way, which side imposed speech codes on campus? Liberals or conservatives? Not conservatives, that’s for sure. If liberals are such a noisy, rowdy, opinionated, pluralistic, uncontainable bunch — how come they’re for speech codes, for shutting down the other side?
