  • Cho vs Pope

    And I thought I was pissed: (Margaret Cho has a blog!) “I am so angry, I don’t want to just rip up a picture of the pope. I want to rip him a new asshole, wearing a condom, and I don’t even have a dick, but this is the one time I wish I did. […]

  • Stone Cold Writin'

    At the coffeeshop across the street. One thing I will say is that it is frigging cold here in this place. Good God. I need my mucklucks. You know what? I don’t even know what mucklucks are. I always assumed it’s like saying you need to put on your woolies. And that always conjures up […]

  • Almost More Shameful

    One more reason to boycott Church this Christmas: The Catholic Church is telling people in countries stricken by AIDS not to use condoms because they have tiny holes in them through which the HIV virus can pass – potentially exposing thousands of people to risk.

  • What Does $87 Billion Look Like?

    “It is 100 feet tall, 250 feet long, and 125 feet wide. A stack of singles would be 28,998,000 feet, or over 5,492 miles, more than twice the distance between Washington DC and Los Angeles (5300 miles). A Boeing 737-200 jet is 100 feet long. You could fit 2 of those jets nose to nose […]

  • Fuck You, George Bush

    “I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim the week of October 12 through October 18, 2003, as Marriage Protection Week.” How can this be even remotely permissible? I guess because it’s […]

  • The Clan of Ui Briain

    It is morning. I couldn’t sleep so I got up at 4:30 and went to Walgreens and got some eggs and then had some scrambled eggs and some otameal. Surfed and ate until 6 and then came here to the coffeeshop across the street to do some early morning writing. I have enjoyed only lifting […]

  • Beggar's Opera

    I took myself out to dinner at Nookie’s last night since I couldn’t sleep. Had a spinach salad with roast chicken breast and raspberry vinaigrette. I forewent the bread and had them put it in a bag for me to take home. I wanted to give the small loaf of bread to the Streetwise sales […]

  • Think of the (Unexploded) Children

    “You want to show the children on there [on an unexploded SA-2 missile]? ” “Yeah, that would be good. Yeah, if they don’t mind.” “I’m worried about them.” “Please God, don’t let this thing explode now.” (via Plastic)
