On Secession and the City: Let's Get Out of This State!

speaking of states that talk like john wayne and act like a welfare queen, can we figure out a way to give alaska back? I'd also like to arrange a written apology from everyone who was ever smug about the whole "Seward's folly" thing--you people were right all along! Dave Bry to direct??

On Updates on Dorm Room Decoratin' Season!

For real. I think I hurt my brain when my mental image of a college student sleeping in her car and scouting out homeless shelters collided with that photograph. Now I know how those children Choire poisoned feel.

On How To Stand Out As An Actor: "Just Finished Playing a Rapist"!

@deep: that's a really fair point. We laugh at fools because they are foolish and this definitely qualifies. I mean I still think the This Un-Self-Aware-Lug-Is Wrong-And-We-Are-Right-to-Mock-Him brand humor works on carl paladino in a way it doesn't on some poor (clearly dumb) struggling actor--but obviously this was a friday afternoon throwaway post and I shouldn't be getting all hot and bothered about it. But I do notice this on the awl sometimes and I guess this time my knee jerked.
