Ah, but I love Doghouse Diaries.
Music is Funny.
That’s the basic takeaway from this old interview that Andrew Earles posted to his blog. Way too many people take pop music way too seriously. It doesn’t deserve it. The fans of the critics’ faves don’t think for themselves–if they did, what comes out of their mouths might be interesting, what lives in their book… Read More Music is Funny.
The Weak of Wit
The obliquely-named Paltry Meanderings of a Taller-Than-Average Woman has a post entitled “Why I Hate Witty People” which has attained the blessed realm of the Freshly Pressed. Much of it laments the writer’s suffering from “l’esprit d’escalier,” the delay of repartee until after one becomes a departee. But an excellent point about how easy someone like Oscar… Read More The Weak of Wit
Marky Mark Brings the Pain
The Byronic Man lets out a vicious reductio ad absurdum against Wahlberg’s inability to tell the difference between The Movies and Real Life. To say, “Hey, Spanish Inquisition, I got an inquiry for you – you want a Hertz Donut?” Then when they say yes, punch them in the face so their funny hats fly off… Read More Marky Mark Brings the Pain
Greatest. Stalker Video. Ever.

…Ace of Spades would be the one still upset that her football-star boyfriend is out of the running for Prom King, due to an academic supsension, even though, like spluh! he’s obviously better looking and cooler than anyone else, and they’re all just jealous for not seeing it. …Other McCain would be the one constantly… Read More If Some of the Blogs I Read Were Teenage Girls and the 2012 GOP Primary were the Senior Prom…
What if They Found a New Oppressed Group and Everyone Laughed?
If you’re not reading Stuart Schneiderman’s excellent blog, Had Enough Therapy?, you should be. Today he doesn’t even have to attack “childism” — the preposterous notion that children are unfairly oppressed — because the New York Times does it for him. Until taught to do so, kids can’t dress themselves, control their emotions, or distinguish… Read More What if They Found a New Oppressed Group and Everyone Laughed?
Please Enjoy the Teacher’s Dictionary
I do: Teachers Union: A fell beast of legendary folklore, which rises from the grave of ancient economic theory to drain the lifeblood of the community. Appears to avoid crucifixes.
