And so my computer and camera both broke. Note to self: don't bring technology on tour. Here's a favorite of mine from when my camera did work:


Any way back to the same bullshit of leaving links to news stories with minimal comment:

When Bodies Go Unnoticed [nyt]

Also: ''How about, in honor of the American soldier, you quit makin' things up?''- Sarah Palin on the media.

Are you even serious right now.

Tour updates soon/actual writing.

Jesus. Who put the acid in my Airborne?

Anyway fuck all this batshit politics.

"All of a sudden, it was just all happening."

Donald Rumsfeld on the DoD forgetting about the Geneva Conventions.

This is the single best comment on Sarah Palin ever. Look nowhere else.

"And unlike Nixon, Ms. Palin’s credentials to serve as vice president — much less president — are a weak point. Nixon had been a vice president, senator and member of Congress, while Ms. Palin is in her first term as governor of Alaska. By stepping down before finishing her term, she cannot claim to be even a one-term governor. Without a positive record of accomplishment as governor, Ms. Palin may find she has little to run on as she seeks to achieve a critical political goal: expanding her appeal beyond the conservative voters who crowd her rallies and write checks on her behalf."

She is making no sense. This doesn't make any sense. She is talking so fast and breathing so rapidly I don't believe a word she's saying.

That said, the country is better off without this woman holding elected office.

Our funny, elite, erudite, black Kenyan-born president has a name that is different, and so he is careful to pronounce other people's names correctly.

Thank you, Politico for this piece-of-shit non-story, so typical of your output.
