In a little more than an hour, the Detroit Lions will begin the final leg of their journey to a perfect 0-16 season. According to an ESPN.com poll, only one state’s voters are pulling for a Lions victory. And it sure isn’t Michigan. Thanks for your support, Montana.
I’m not pointing this out because I think it’s racist. I don’t. And I’m not pointing it out because I feel the need to defend the prez-elect. I don’t. I’m pointing it out because we as a people need to raise the bar for comedy. It’s painfully lowbrow/unfunny shit like this that keeps Larry the Cable Guy and Charlie Sheen employed. There’s nothing wrong with being smart.
The solution to three months of nearly sleepless nights isn’t to catch up on sleep. It’s to see your parents and curl up on the couch with an adorable puppy.
Many thanks to the people who left a piano deep in the Cape Cod woods. This is what art looks like.
It can’t be coincidence that the demise of Barber College has seen a dramatic rise in pirate attacks. Ya know, p implies q. And a day after pirates seized their largest ship to date, the world is left to wonder, where’s Scott when you need him?

Hey, gun enthusiasts and Second Amendment fanatics? It’s me. I have a question for you. How is this at all acceptable?
You might respond by saying that an 8-year-old child should not be allowed to handle an Uzi. And then I might respond by saying that no one should be allowed to have an Uzi. And then you might say the Constitution says people can have Uzis. And then I might say no it doesn’t. And then I might stop arguing with you, because I fear for my life.
Normally I’d find it in poor taste to make fun of an old man and his heart problems, but I’ll make an exception for this guy. When a man’s heart is literally (sorry, David Cross) a black hole, shouldn’t any beating be considered abnormal?
Greenpeace teamed up with artist Mark Jenkins to install a handful of “homeless” polar bear sculptures throughout Washington yesterday in order to raise awareness of global warming and in the process shut down a Metro station for nearly two hours while a bomb squad investigated. Pretty cool as pieces of art, but whenever you delay the Metro worse than it’s already delayed, people are gonna be cranky for all the wrong reasons.
