Project Runway All Stars Liveblog: Miss Piggy Edition

It’s time for our weekly ritual of drinking by ourselves and pretending it’s OK because we’re totally, like, talking to people on the Internet about things! (Hahahaha weekly.) Tonight’s episode of Project Runway All Stars will have the inestimable Miss Piggy as a guest judge. Is it gimmicky? Sure. Does that mean it’s going to suck? Not necessarily! Look at how fashionable the U.S.’s greatest pig looks in this Prada gown (though I really think she could do without that hat)!

Coming Attractions: I Am Not A Hipster To Pretty Much Make Fun of Itself

I AM NOT A HIPSTER (the movie) from Destin Daniel Cretton on Vimeo.

Sundance already known for embracing the best indie films residing deep down in every be-specked, intellectual, film artist who has something new and on the cusp of greatness to say with verve! and simplicity! can now add the deconstruction of the enigmatic, if not wholly, absolutely infuriating, hipster.

Mitt Romney Shows His Hand And It’s Filled With Money!

Well, apparently, now whenever Mitt Romney speaks we can pretty much expect a carafe of gold bars and silver spoons to come flying out his blustery jaws. He’s like a robotic fountain made of money! Would that make him an ATM? Perhaps! But he’s not giving you anything, you pitiless peasants! Know why? He pays a lower tax rate than you do because he’s a rich, sultan of immense wealth who’s found a way to take advantage of every tax break that exists in federal policy. Basically, old Mittens, sees you standing there in your sensible shoes and dystopian misery and comes along with a platinum-coated battering ram and knocks all you ingrates into the sea. He is the Mormonator.

Kiss his ring you supplicants. Continue reading

TSA Regrets Decision to Target Suspected Elderly Terrorists


Today, the TSA has apologized for sifting through the colostomy device of 89-year-old Ruth Sherman and putting 85-year-old Lenore Zimmerman’s back brace through an X-ray machine during the Thanksgiving holiday in 2011 at JFK. Even though the utter ridiculousness of these actions is pretty obvious, the TSA is still reassuring that there was no strip search of any kind. Continue reading

Gingrich’s Woman Scorned Plans Reverse Scorning on ABC News

ABC News is reportedly planning to air a interview with Marianne Gingrich, Newt Gingrich’s second wife (for all you keeping count of our good Catholic man’s spouses) tonight. There have been no clips released, and ABC is not discussing what the second Mrs. Gingrich may or may not have said in her two-hour sit down with correspondent Brian Ross. Here’s a little roundup of previous statements from the Washington Post. Could be something, could be nothing. Continue reading

Crate Digging #2 – Fugazi: Most Ethical Band of All Time

Though they are not a household name, Fugazi and its frontman, Ian MacKaye, possess a near-mythological status among those within the indie community. Since their hiatus in 2003, Fugazi’s stature among music obsessives has continued to grow and the legend of their live shows has ensnared a new generation of fans. Now, thanks to a combination of technological advancements and a favorably hobbled music industry, Fugazi is primed for a promising second life.

Rick Perry Drops Out, National Gaffe Index Plummets

Texas Governor Nathan Bedford Forrest Gump surrenders in South Carolina

The nation weeps today, partially because it’s only Thursday and not Friday, but mostly because Texas Governor Nathan Bedford Forrest Gump is dropping his laff-riot of a GOP presidential bid. This leaves us with only Massachusetts protocol droid Willard “10k” Romney, accursed undying gold-obsessed man-skeleton Ron Paul, horrifying space-beast Newton Leroy Gingrich, and He Who Must Not Be Searched for in Google. The hapless incompetent is expected to endorse disgraced former House Speaker Gingrich.

The governor–often referred to in the media by his pro wrestling moniker “Rick Perry,” entered the race over the summer as the party was undergoing one of it’s periodic fits of nausea and buyer’s remorse over the campaign of frontrunning software packet Willard Romney.  Governor Gump, with his glistening hair and magnificent posture, initially polled well against Romney, who was slowed down by his glitch-prone FrontRunner 1.5 software.

The Proper Way to Make A Bed

I am very serious about my bedding. I will leave the house in ill-fitting jeans and in one of the fifteen identical black t-shirts I own every day, but the bed? The bed is my masterpiece.

When I first moved in with Mr. Bunny, I was appalled by his bedding. The man owned nothing but t-shirt sheets. These are unacceptable. If you own these, you must throw them away immediately or at the very least tear them into rags. To make matters worse, they were in the loudest patterns possible. He bedded me on my first visit to New York on terrible t-shirt sheets in a horrifically bright psychedelic pattern. I closed my eyes and thought of gingers. I vanquished those sheets the day I moved to New York. Continue reading
