Rise and shine, Jesusland! You are being monitored, and failure to attend will have consequences. My church has WiFi, fortunately.
Point of clarification: I am not a political blogger. I am a current-events blogger, if and when I think of something to say about current events. For example, let's imagine I were to type out something like this: "You know why Howard Dean is a centrist? Because his sleeves meet in the center of his back!" Now see, this is less of a political comment than a glib "joke" about a person or topic in the news. Okay? Think of me as a late-night comic, except without the salary or audience or talent.
In the past, when someone has taken the time to complain about the content of this blog and to make whatever demands he (and it's almost always a he) feels entitled to make, I have asked for an address so I can send him his refund. If the complainer is particularly unpleasant, I specify how many corners he should fold that refund into before he administers it backdoorally. In the future, I will simply direct such correspondents to this post.
For the last few weeks, TBS has been airing Mr. Show really late/early on the weekends. Apparently you can say "piss" and "shit" on TBS, but not "the eff word," "the ess my dee phrase," etc. Excretory functions are fine, sexual functions are not. Kind of weird. Some of the cussing is still left in if you've got your closed-captioning turned on, so you can enjoy that if you're a fan of filthy talk. Or you could just buy the DVDs.
News you can use: When you eat turkey, you get sleepy. There's like a chemical in it.
The creator of The Venture Brothers, one of the two Adult Swim shows that is capable of making me laugh, has a LiveJournal. In this post, he cites Lileks and his Dorcus Collection as an inspiration. I think that's pretty swell.
November was a good month for me in some ways. I am choosing to focus on those ways. Thanks to everyone who made it awesome, including but not limited to: James Taranto, Zack Snyder, David Rees, the 51%, Kitty, Michele, Tim, Glenn, James, Kevin, David, Cathy, Sean, and everybody else who has made my life bearable and/or sent me enormous amounts of traffic over the last 30 days. I'm not arrogant enough to think I deserve it, but I do appreciate it. And biggest thanks of all to you, Dear Reader. Now go click on the Blogads or give me some money or something.
