WatchStephen Colbert interviews Maurice Sendak, part 1 of 2
This might be my favorite TV interview ever. Maurice Sendak is now officially a kind of hero to me.

– President BARACK OBAMA (via inothernews)
This makes me feel vindicated. Bush ran primarily on his stupid “trust me, I’ll keep you safe from terrorism with aggressive foreign policy” ticket but it took a Democrat in the White House to eliminate bin Laden and end a corrupt,...

bigger douche: Romney or Gingrich?
It’s so tough to say. Each represents an absolutely disgusting set of qualities that are central to conservative politics. Gingrich represents corruption, bigotry, racism, sexism, appalling personal behavior, hypocrisy and bogus piety while Romney represents classism, wealth privilege, corporate malfeasance, tax evasion, two-faced double-speak and a thorough inability to relate to any...

Did you know that most cliched advice is crap much of the time?
I’m glad someone wrote an article like this. The truth is that it’s completely subjective to the person writing it and qualifying it is completely subjective to the person reading it so all of those old truisms that get thrown around like so much sage wisdom can’t be absolute.

It gives me the fucking creeps. Everything about that guy gives me the fucking creeps. He looks the little booger-eating fat kid whose only playtime activity was destroying other kids’ toys and making them angry.
