Background for the Anthony Weiner video: Republican Party is evil

Here is some background for this awesome Anthony Weiner video. The Republican party is evil. Any honest article about the Republican Party ends up sounding like hyperbolic propaganda because of how despicable they are. When you say "the Republicans stopped 9/11 first responders from getting health care" it sounds like you must be exaggerating or full of shit, but they really are just a horrible organization.


Edit: And you can poke at this story by saying that the Democrats were trying to use procedure to avoid having the Republicans add their own shit to the bill, but so what? They were trying to avoid having the Republicans kill or ruin a simple health care--for-heroes bill.

Wow, this video is awesome.

Anthony Weiner really angry on the floor:

NO SMART TRIP

Message from maintenance or political protest? Taken with my cell phone.

Noam Chomsky Comedy Traffic

This clog has been getting a small, but consistent stream of traffic from people googling things like "Noam Chomsky comedy" since I quoted that email he sent me. No other search term has been consistently bringing visitors here.

Ottomans

Ottomans are like... not ottomans for dogs at all if you think about it... they're like something else, for them...

Hebrew National Hot Dog Contest

I entered a hot dog eating contest in Catonsville, Maryland hosted by Duesenberg's as the prelude to their Independence Day parade on July 3rd and got third place after eating ten hot dogs in ten minutes. The trophy is maybe the nicest prize I've won in a contest, but I think I'm through with competitive eating forever.

I ate the exact right number of hot dogs in order to get a trophy. If I remember right, the fourth place person ate 9.5, and the fifth place person ate 9. I started getting seriously worried about throwing up after maybe the sixth hot dog and it was hard to keep going. The two leaders crushed me though, battling it out until the better athlete had eaten 12.5, beating the runner-up by half a wiener to be crowned Catonsville's Biggest Wiener!

Ugh.

 Ready for more!

Thanks a lot Obama

The earliest cadaver surgery date I could get was September 14th. THANKS A LOT OBAMA! Who cares if poor people have health care when a rich white guy can't even get quick knee surgery so he can get back to playing the stupidest, most dangerous sports he can find?

My Knee

Knee update for any rugby scouts: Doctor looked at my MRI results and said, "Your ACL is gone. There is no ACL in your left knee. Your meniscus is also torn and your MCL is strained. It's exactly the same as your last injury, but worse. Here, look what happens when I do -this-. Your knee is comically unstable. Have some vicodin." Will schedule surgery on Monday.

Seriously, I'm not exaggerating when I say the Republican Party is evil and the if you want to improve the world, you should start by voting against Republicans. Watch this video.

Edit: It's not right at Ground Zero though, it's two blocks away. At least they're not surrounding Ground Zero with minarets though like the Hagia Sophia.

!!!ARRIBA!!!

Look at all the exclamations in the play-by-play written commentary for the World Cup, this is pretty funny to me. "UFFF, ¡¡CASI MARCA RAMOS!! Busquets la pone con rosca y Ramos llega desde atrás pero no conecta con el balón."

Montgomery County Evil Headquarters

I'm helping the O'Malley Brown campaign in Maryland and my boss and I scouted out the brand new Ehrlich Kane headquarters in Rockville. It's much bigger than our headquarters, has its own building, a ton of land and parking spaces which they've used to put up huge signs, and it's in a better location as well. The lot is full of these huge signs and big SUV's while the inside is full of obese people. Here are a couple reconnaissance photos I took with my cell phone:

By the way, if my last name were Kane and I were running for office, I think I might use the slogan "KANE IS ABLE."

Band

Somebody should make a band or a porn movie called Dybbukkake (combination of dybbuk and bukkake).

Hot

It's hot as a ball of balls today in the DC area!
Have a cat.

Islands

I'm seeing Islands tonight, probably my second favorite band named for an Alduous Huxley book!

Friendship

I think the Friendship Heights metro station should be renamed to Friendship Hearts to be even more friendly.
