When it comes to flying, I am a nervous passenger but a confident drinker and Valium-swallower. - Martin Amis. A confident drinker. I like that notion.

Air Jordan 3 Fire Red

reblogging my own blog because this picture is so good

Apart from Mike’s kicks, this is also an apt analogy for the way Barack treated the House Republicans last Friday. Barack, backing John Boehner down on the block, looking to go to the hole, sees Eric Cantor collapsing on him, so he turns toward the baseline and hits a patented Barack/MJ fadeaway. In Jordan 3’s.

The New Yorker has made available to subscribers the thirteen stories J.D. Salinger had published in the magazine. Being able to read his stories in their original format is great (it would be even better if I had a pad-like device to read these on). As an added bonus, you get to see awesome old ads like this one from December, 1946.

“All I ask of you is one thing: please don’t be cynical. I hate cynicism- it’s my least favorite quality and it doesn’t lead anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you’re kind, amazing things will happen.” - Conan O’Brien

I believe the Vikings will win because of the running attack. The Saints give up about 150 rushing yards a game, and the Vikings have arguably the best running back in the game [Adrian Peterson]. … I believe the Vikings defense will frustrate Brees. - WEEZY!

Gingers need to stick together. We’ll all be gone in 100 years, so success is certainly fleeting.

The Ten Best Films of 2009

  1. “The Hurt Locker”
  2. “Funny People”
  3. “Fantastic Mr. Fox”
  4. “District 9”
  5. “Up”
  6. “(500) Days of Summer”
  7. “Avatar”
  8. “Adventureland”
  9. “Star Trek”
  10. “Inglourious Basterds”

“The Hurt Locker” was this year’s best film, by a wide gulf. Kathryn Bigelow’s film captured what no other Iraq war film has this decade. It gave us a glimpse of what it takes to be a hero in war. It gave us a glimpse of how tense, confusing, tiring war really is. She gave us a film that left me dazzled, breathless and pissed off. A nearly perfect film.

*There are a handful of films I didn’t get a chance to see in their initial first runs, and a few films that haven’t opened in our fine city. They include: “Where the Wild Things Are”, “The Messenger”, “The White Ribbon”, “The Informant!”, “Crazy Heart”,

There’s no other way to say it: Barack Obama, a once-in-a-generation political talent whose graceful conquest of America’s racial dragons en route to the White House inspired the entire world, has for some reason allowed his presidency to be hijacked by sniveling, low-rent shitheads. - Finally got around to reading Taibbi’s latest. Even more than usual, it’s a must-read.
