Tonight when asked by CNN's Ed Henry why it took him a couple of days to express outrage over the AIG bonuses, President Obama delivered the following response:



THAT'S MY MOTHERFUCKING PRESIDENT.

(Maybe he's been taking "anger lessons" from Rahm after all?)

Apologies to anyone on my friend's list if you've already seen this. <3

Man, Jon and Stephen were both on FIRE tonight! Not a surprise, as they both had so much material to work with. The live Daily Show was pretty fucking awesome (Bishop Gene Robinson was a fantastic guest), but The Colbert Report was even more so -- especially when Stephen started "crying" (awww) but then the camera cut away to something else, and ( Read more... )

Last night Mike Huckabee was the guest on The Daily Show, and he and Jon Stewart debated the issue of gay marriage. And it was amazing. Guys, I know I've been fangirling over him a lot lately, but seriously, I just have to say...JON IS MY HERO.

Still sick. Stayed home from work today because I still feel like crap -- nothing really major, just mild nausea, tiredness (I napped for like 4 hours today), and what one of my old doctors called "the yuckies." I'm kind of pissed off because when I called my boss this morning to tell her I couldn't make it in today, she said something about how ( Read more... )

I'm already up way too late (not tired, as usual), and I'm on kind of on a Sedaris kick right now, so here's a video of him reading one of my favorite essays from his newest book, When You Are Engulged In Flames. This essay is so hilarious. I love his self-deprecating sense of humor...and I think he has balls to go on Letterman and read a story ( Read more... )

Also -- I know probably some of you are sick of me blogging about the Nick Cave show, LOL. But I just remembered that I never posted these two videos I took at the concert. They have no sound, unfortunately, but I got some pretty decent close-ups of Nick and it's amazing to see how he moves around onstage. I thought the Cave fans on my friendslist ( Read more... )

utter_bastard shared a link to an awesome video of Nick's performance of "The Mercy Seat" from last night. Near the end of the video, you can see him reach out to touch fans' hands -- and one of those hands is totally mine. I recognized my ring. :D :D :D

I love the fact that YouTube gives me the ability to see the funny parts of the Emmys without having to sit through the entire awful awards show. XD

Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert were almost as funny as they were last year when Colbert did his "Good evening, godless sodomites" speech.

ETA: I love watching Jon and Stephen laughing so hard that ( Read more... )

This afternoon I went to that little clearing in my neighborhood where I like to write, and I took some pictures (as well a brief, slightly self-indulgent video). I wish that these photos could accurately capture how gorgeous it can be there at times, especially when there's a sweet-smelling, gentle breeze and you can hear the birds twittering -- ( Read more... )
