There’s a curious lack of Republican debates this week. I was getting kind-of lazy counting on a shit avalanche of politicians saying embarrassing things every week.
It’s a little weird to watch the new ABC show Suburgatory (which ruthlessly parodies the suburbs) right before watching Modern Family (which ruthlessly enforces everything that’s wrong with the suburbs).
Iran’s president (I can’t spell his name and am not real interested in the effort it would take to copy and paste it, so we’ll call him Mr. Whacky) said Al-Qaeda wasn’t behind 9/11 and the U.S. government was. Al-Qaeda responded by saying Iran was just a hater jealous of their success and was paying “lip service jihad.” Iran responded with “Bitch, no you didn’t” and proceeded to pull out Al-Qaeda’s weave.
Good luck to the Wall Street protestors in their quest to…say something. I’m not exactly sure what the plan is but it’s nice to see someone physically show disgust with Wall Street where they can see it instead of just complaining on internet message boards they can easily avoid.
Asshole of the Week: Anyone in the Georgia criminal justice system related to Troy Davis’s case and (once again) some judges on the Supreme Court. I know this was “last week’s” story but since I was doing the greatest hits week, I didn’t get to weigh in on this complete travesty of justice. It’s crazy that such a “pro-life” state would care more about a fetus than an innocent man getting executed.
