#WaysToMakeAnArgument: Statements That Can't Be...
Above you have a Tweet from Adam Serwer, elaborating on a Federal Judge’s decision today that “ObamaCare” (Gotta love the undertones of that phrase.) was unconstitutional.
I also missed the outrage from the Right in regards to “judicial activism”, which sent them up in arms when, last year, some federal judge once ruled that gay folks could get married. But...

The Cell Phone Killed Watches
There ain’t a point of wearing a watch, unless you’re trying to be a fashonista. They’re no longer practical. Watches came about so people could always have the time with them (think about that—time used to be something you had to strap to your body and carry around with you). Now, the time is conveniently located in our cell phones. On top of that, it doesn’t need...

#ThingsHistoryMadeUp: Society Existed Before the...
There is no way for a society to exist without cell phones. Absolutely none.
It’s hard for me to imagine society skating by without caller-ID. (YOU MEAN WE ACTUALLY ANSWERED CALLS WITHOUT KNOWING WHO WAS ON THE OTHER END? LOLWUT?) But without cell phones? Not possible.
What did the pizza man do if he couldn’t find your dimly-lit apartment? What did you do if you were running late?...

#ThingsHistoryMadeUp: People Played Basketball in...
I’m an avid fan of Chuck Taylor shoes. Some people think makes me an asshole—but I assure you—the roots of me being an asshole run much deeper than the pieces of leather I wear to protect my feet.
They’re just a classic shoe. Iconic, if you will.
One time, back in 7th grade, I thought I would be cool and wear a pair of these things to basketball tryouts. I might as well...

RIP Tea Party
RIP Tea Party. I will remember your era fondly. And, I mean that from the bottom of my heart. I really do.
This was their shot to introduce themselves to the American public. Ross Perot would’ve killed somebody to have an opportunity like the Tea Party was rewarded with tonight.
And the Tea Party absolutely shit the rug on this one. Really no other way to put it.
The Tea Party...

Rep. Peter King: ‘80 Percent Of Mosques In This Country Are Controlled By Radical Imams’
Next month, House Homeland Security Committee chairman Peter King (R-NY) will hold hearings on the domestic threat posed by Muslim Americans. Echoing McCarthyist rhetoric of the 1950s, King recently argued that Muslims aren’t “American” when it comes to war.
This week, King went on the Laura Ingraham Show...

100k is the going rate on our top-secret secrets...
I was dicking around on Twitter today (aka 90% of my off-time) when I saw this story via @BreakingNews:
Engineer gets 32 years for military secrets sale
HONOLULU – A former B-2 stealth bomber engineer was sentenced to 32 years in prison Monday for selling military secrets to China in the latest of several high-profile cases of Chinese espionage in the U.S.
Chief U.S. District Judge Susan...

RIP Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre's Street Credibility
Above you will find what is probably the greatest intro into a concert ever. It’s taken from Dr. Dre’s “Up in Smoke” Tour. It was such a gansta intro, the city of DETROIT threatened to cut electricity to the arena if it were shown.
I mean, what you see above is, in my opinion, the MASTER-STROKE of rap videos. What doesn’t it have? NOTHING. There’s nothing...

Gregg Doyel misses the mark: Lance Armstrong is...
Lance Armstrong is an asshole.
Yes, I said it: he’s an asshole.
You ever see the Intervention episode, with that one meth-head that used to be a world renowned cyclist? Guess why he wasn’t a cyclist, anymore? Because he had the audacity to challenge IRONMAN LANCE ARMSTRONG and Lance had him kicked off the team. And now the dude is a hopeless meth-junkie.
I don’t need to see...

GUN NUTS ARE HILARIOUS
You know the type of people that crack me up? Gun nuts.
I knew this one guy, in Montana, who had a cache of weaponry that could probably topple a tin-pot dictator in Eastern Africa. He was always talking about guns in the same make-up language that computer nerds and car-junkies speak when they’re talking about computers and cars. (“THIS CAR HAS A 3.2 POWER GAUGE MUZZLE DRIFT WITH A...

The 90's Hilariousness That Is The "Hit 'Em Up"...
Everybody universally accepts that Tupac’s “Hit ‘Em Up” (which was a diss at Notorious B.i.G) was one of the most vitriolic diss records ever laid on wax. The video didn’t disappoint either, however, viewed through the 2011 scope, one cannot help but chuckle at the production.
SOME OF THE FUNNIER SCENES:
Just where in the hell is Tupac here? Is Tupac supposed to...

The Misplaced Hate of The Homeless Golden Voice
If you’re reading this blog—you’re obviously adept at navigating to the nether-regions of the internet, so I’m going to assume you’ve seen the video of the “Homeless Golden Voice” Ted Williams.
I thought it was a hell of a story. I was glad to see that the powers of viral videos actually went to helping somebody better their life, rather than just some...
