Identity Politics

White males have it super easy. When the ephemeral, utterly transient nature of the lives and happiness of the people I love gets me down, I find solace in what’s truly important: the skin colour of the group of clueless, struggling, suffering, slowly dying assholes I happened to have been born into, and the particularity of my reproductive plumbing. This one time the good ole’ boys in the government sent me a white cake in the mail. It was fucking awesome.

RATING: The privileged 50% of the privileged 74%

  5. We're not supposed to argue about economic politics on the blog anymore because Glenn and Viking Andrew don't think it's fair that they haven't done any reading to support their opinions.

    They were talking about it on the phone.

  6. That's not exactly how the convo went. I think it was more like:

    -You know all those times on R3 when Hayek comes up?

    -Yeah.

    -That's fucking boring.

    -I know.

  7. I think this shit is boring, too. And by that I mean, I have no idea what John is talking about so I usually make tangentially or unrelated comments and/or tell sad stories about my dating life.

    Honestly, I don't really care if there is intellectual stuff, boring or otherwise, so long as it's interspersed with funny stuff and/or lowbrow jokes and reviews of candy and beer. So what I'm sayin here people, is that if you don't like the talkie talkie reviews, you should post more of what you want to see. So then there's something for everyone.

    In conclusion, are you guys having conference calls without me? Because I do love conference calls.

    Forget it. We'll talk about it in person, after I'm done slamming your head in the door of your redneck truck.

  10. Then get on your bicycle and go buy a pack of cigarettes.

    Speaking of the GOBN, I have been given only one speeding ticket (in nine stops) since I bought that truck. Cops love me.

  14. John: you said binary. LOL

    I would pay BIG money to see John on a bike. Just think about it: A corpulent, red-headed, extraordinarily hairy, and freckled man profusely sweating as he huff and puffed across Coit Road.

    gotta love it :P
