Why the fuck does Tumblr need editors anyway?
So that the opinions of the few regarding what is good and interesting on Tumblr become the opinions of the many?
Some thoughts on the Grammys I didn't watch.
I've never seen them, even when I was still plugged into the grid and had tv.
Whitney died the day before in the bathtub of her motel room. I was never a fan of Whitney. I understand that in her prime she was possibly the best singer going, but she sang generic pop music and all her songs were about love. Not really my thing. In my mind, being excellent at pop music is like being excellent at mowing the lawn or getting the mail. Still, sad to see her go down such a path and die so young.
They let that woman-beating wimp, Chris Brown, lip-sync during the show, probably for a little controversy and to get some more eyeballs on the screen. It worked. We're talking about it, aren't we? I wonder what woman or child will threaten his precious masculinity next?
Adele won a shitload of awards. I like her. I think she's sexy and I LOVE her curves. I have yet to hear any of her music, though. Winning a bunch of Grammys for it is not a good sign that I will like it, however. Cheers to Adele.
As a matter of principle, I dislike award shows. They're too self-congratulatory or something. Also, when I was an angry, alienated teen on probation, my music was never represented at the Grammys. It was the music all the jocks and preps listened to. I imagine it's still pretty much the same way and I still hate that crap.

I notice that someone took your words from the infamous chicken post and put them with a Teletubbies gif. Did you happen to see it?
Yeah I saw it. No biggie. I checked out his blog and he needs all the help he can get. He can barely put two sentences together. He's really funny looking, too, so I saved all his gpoys to vandalize later. It'll be fun :)

Kids
Oh, they're so horrible!
I've gotten a response or two (or nine) in the ol' askbox about my post wherein I called that overbearing white-trash asshole what he was—i.e., an overbearing white-trash asshole.
Most of them center around how awful kids are. How ungrateful they are, how they're all giant dicks.
Yeah, maybe. You know, I raised a kid all the way to 18 and didn't kill him or nothing. From my experience I can say that, yes, at times they're ungrateful. They CAN be dicks. Teenagers are pathologically self-absorbed and completely illogical. They're wrapped up in their own shit.
Does this make them bad people? No. It makes them teenagers. And, oh, hey, aren't these your kids? Don't you "love" them?
The fact that this guy brought out a loaded gun to make a point to his FIFTEEN YEAR OLD daughter makes him a massive dick. An abuser, if you ask me. Think of the threat underlying what he did.
I had a teenager. I didn't exactly like him either at times, but, jesus, he was still my kid and I loved him.
If you think what this man did as a "lesson" for his daughter was ok, then you're the reason the Republican party exists.
Sleep well in your blankets of asshole.
Regarding THIS guy: he's an asshole.Not that he...
Regarding THIS guy: he's an asshole.
Not that he didn't have a right to be miffed with his daughter, but to take it so seriously? What a baby. So his daughter let off a little steam and did some bitching on her Facebook.
And he freaks the fuck out and shoots her laptop like the hillbilly he is. Look, I'm a parent. I wanted respect, too. I expected it, in fact. And no, I didn't always get it. No parent does, especially when it comes to teenagers.
I, however, am a man. Unlike this guy, who is still clearly a boy. I could take it when my teenager acted like, gasp, a teenager. I knew what was going on. I knew it was no big thang.
What the fuck is wrong with this clown? The guy emanates dickness like too much cologne.
Kids need guidance from the adults in their lives, not social networking one-upsmanship. Jesus fuck.

The cartoon for my most recent article. My editor was kind enough to remove all the "fucks" from it and replace them with "damns", and even look up the real study I used as inspiration. The cool thing about this is that it is pure, unadulterated satire, the kind of stuff I really enjoy writing. Writing about politics in a serious or straight way, even if I am being humorous, is very confining. This isn't even politics, which I think is extremely cool. I hate politics. Why the fuck did I agree to become a political columnist?

Great combo of sexism and sarcasm in one line. Fucking classic. I love you. But not in the Gay guy chasing straight dick kinda way. That is not in the Bible.
Thanks, buddy. Maybe they'll stick that in the Bible some day. They've already stuck a lot of shit into already.
