washington (?) redskins

i decided to watch the redskins game tonight since the washington post suggested this morning that no one else would. they were showing all of these amazing shots of the monuments at the beginning of the broadcast. it was quite idyllic ... and oh so totally false. although, after seeing these pictures of landover, md (where the skins actually play), i can see why espn decided to use the scenes that they did.

another nobel prize for obama?

this morning on "wait wait don't tell me" they asked the panelists what would be the headline that would replace all of the focus on the balloon boy hoax. one of the panelists offered the following -

president obama will captivate the media when he blows up a balloon for malia and subsequently wins the nobel prize for physics

you can't pray away the gay

better late than never

looks like committing a crime against an individual because of her or his gender identity or sexual orientation will finally be a federal offense. too late for nana boo, but just in time for the rest of us.

and they wonder why there's tension

yesterday i was getting lunch at my normal spot - the korean owned and operated deli across the street from my office. the owner and her daughter were cracking up behind the counter. i gave them the "what the fuck is going on" look and the daughter immediately responded - "not you. laughing at the black people." didn't leave much room for interpretation did she?

a case of rip van winkle-itis?

having just roused from what must have been a 50 year nap, this jack ass justice of the peace is making pathetic attempts trying to convince us that he's not racist. of course he proclaims the ubiquitous - "but i have TONS of black friends - but then uses the original - "and i let them use my bathroom."

back to sleep for you, please!
