On Frozen Food Critic Disappointed By Garlic Dipping Sauce That Comes With Digiorno Pizza Dipping Strips, For Which He Had Surprisingly High Hopes

Oh, mercy. I just watched a few more of these. It's like somebody did reviews of actual garbage spilling out of bags on the sidewalk on trash day. The big reveal is not that it tastes like garbage, but that some people actually enjoy the taste of garbage.

On The Bodybuilder's Guide To Getting Rid Of "Computer Back"

@My Number Is My Address Donald Rumsfeld also was known to work from a standing desk. So there's that.

On President Endorses States' Rights

I think it's hard to speculate on how something like this will ultimately play. My mom, for instance, is a moderate, middle-class retiree in suburban Detroit who voted for Obama in '08, but has since blamed the president (wrongly, I think) for Michigan's economy remaining in the turlet. Until today, she'd probably have been leaning toward Romney, but I think now she'd be more likely to vote for a candidate who supports her son's right to get married over one who does not. I'm not going to extrapolate too wildly from this, but I'd venture that taking this stand will not just reenergize progressive. I hope it would also carry a lot of weight with swing voters.

On Dogs: What's On Their Minds?

Whereas I don't need science to understand that my cat feels a withering, universal contempt for everyone and everything.

On Fish Bad

I'd really like to know more about what this stuff actually is. I've come to appreciate Eastern culinary applications of the "use all the fish" mentality in the form of delicious kamaboko and other surimi – think, essentially, cured fish loaf or even "fish sausage" as it is sometimes unfortunately termed. But if Americans are willing to pay actual dollars to eat raw fish slurry as "sushi," damn, that's on them. Our culinary education has a long way to go.

On Fine, Kids, Call Your Mom Five Times a Day!

The very notion of parents wanting their offspring to regard them as "friends" is the number one root cause of horrible parenting excesses in the last decade or so.

I mean, I'm not against friendly ties to mom and dad, but when the "parent" role is supplanted by "friend," the result is a gross, double-edged neediness that doesn't look good on anybody.

On Obama Still Hates Gay Marriage, No Matter What You Want to Think

@DoctorDisaster You are certainly not the only one who thinks that.

On A Poem By Michael Comstock

Yo, hey, Mike Comstock, old pal. It's Drew from Brooklyn. We played Monopoly together one time. I dig your poem. Good on you for making it happen here.

On The Videogame Artiste

@ReginalTSquirge Right. Can we please stop using "zen" as a fancy-damned synonym for "calm"?

On What If Ron Paul Stopped Working and It Didn't Matter?

I do this thing sometimes where I gloss over a line of text and substitute other words from my brain. Ergo, for a moment I read this as "In 2012, RuPaul has missed 136 votes..."
