I have anxiety. Sure, lots of other people do too, especially these days, in this economy. But when I say I have anxiety, I mean, I really have anxiety. Unlike most people, anxiety is not just one color in the palette of emotions coloring my daily life, but rather the constant monochromatic filter through which the rest of my emotions pass and are thusly dulled, muted, or cancelled out altogether.
Georgia Congressman Lynn Westmoreland Makes Himself Look Like an Idiot…Again
Posted on 04. Sep, 2008 by Daniel Taylor in Politics
Virginia GEORGIA (thanks anon) Congressman Lynn Westmoreland, who despite wanting to display the 10 Commandments in the Halls of Congress, famously couldn’t name them when asked on camera by Stephen Colbert (as shown in the video above) made himself look even more like an idiot today when he called Barack Obama “uppity” while discussing his new hero Sarah Palin:
“Just from what little I’ve seen of her and Mr. Obama, Sen. Obama, they’re a member of an elitist-class individual that thinks that they’re uppity,” Westmoreland said.
Asked to clarify that he used the [...]
Sarah Palin: a Democrat’s Wet Dream (literally and figuratively)

Like Stephanie Miller says, Sarah Palin’s nomination as the Republican VP candidate is straight out of SNL. You sersiouly couldn’t write easier attack points for someone with half a brain to use against the Republican ticket, let alone someone as badass as James Carville, who absolutely pwns all challengers, including some shit brained Republican congresswoman.

This weekend I got a chance to join Los Angeles-based comedy group/saviors of rock Fortress of Attitude for a few shows. They were down a bassist and I was glad to fill in. I even had a snazzy gay sailor outfit to match their particular stage-dress idiom.
On Friday we made our way to Oakland, CA, and ended up performing in a warehouse art space called the Ghost House. We performed with several Oakland bands (Kool Teen, Pinched Nerve and Anderson Congress) in the space the house uses to create children’s [...]
Lawrence KS, The Hard Problem of Mind/Brain and Emery’s I’m Only A Man

So this summer, I took some time off to go on tour, which was of course an interesting experience, to say the least. Among the more compelling things to happen during this tour was a dream I had after one of the last stops on the tour at the Granada Theater in Lawrence, KS (which was, probably not coincidentally, one of the drunkest stops of the tour as well). In this dream, I somehow had figured out that consciousness was nothing more than a signal being beamed into our brains, [...]
