a supremely bourgeoise post.

in other news, i went back and watched a bunch of the daily show and the colbert report that i missed, and saw McCain's daughter, Meghan McCain, on the colbert report. and she's AWESOME! she's intelligent, articulate, pro-sex ed, pro-life, pro-gay marriage. she's still a die-hard republican and will tell you as such, and perfectly able to explain to the liberal heathens why she believes in gun ownership and legalizing gay marriage. this is the kind of voice the GOP needs to get anyone to believe in them again, instead of becoming more extreme and self-righteous. there are hundreds and thousands of college age "liberals" who are only socially liberal but fundamentally believes in capitalism and smaller governments. they can't come out and say it because: 1. GOP looks like a bunch of fucktards, 2. we got into the habit of simplifying people to caricatures.

i went to where she blogs, at thedailybeast.com, which is a news aggregator like the HuffPo, and it's awesome. there are some whack columnists there, sure (someone argued that the american idol results were a reflection of red state resurgence and that the blue states somehow failed their flambouyant guyliner contestant. newsflash! liberals don't watch american idol and aren't unanimously into gay rockstars! ) but otherwise the place looks clean-cut and informative. i went to HuffPo later, though, and still prefers it. watch this:



glenn beck NAILED by awesome older dames.

lying sack of shit.

and so i've decided: i'm going to refrain commenting on policies and issues i don't know anything about, and will use the summer to diligently become a part of the modern media-consuming intelligentsia.
