To quote "Liar, Liar" . . . "Stop breaking the law, asshole!"

If this became a widespread phenomenon rather than a quirky opportunity for discussion or social critique I insist that it be permanently extended to all sporting events and arenas.

Actual atmosphere has been replaced by a simulacra of atmosphere.

I can't believe you actually took the time to respond to GoodCelery!

I originally thought he was an attention-seeking retard who mashed the keys in hopes that a real person would reach through the monitor and befriend him. But I think he's just sick. Look up the book "The Midnight Disease" and you'll see that his babbling is a compulsion.

He can't help himself, just as a baby shits in a diaper.

I think the physicians and spouses here who are responding and saying that they don't make as much money as other letter writers think they do need to come forward and fess up.

How much are you really making, after taxes? You say it's not that much. I'm skeptical.

You show me yours, I'll show you mine.

If you enter "retard" you get Mullet Troll Palin.

Hmmm . . . I agree.

In South Park, retards are affectionately called "r-tards." However, I prefer the term "tards" or "tar-tars." It's more evocative and better reflects a person's complete moronishness. But South Park never refers to Timmy, a bona fide retard, as a retard.

Frankly, I find this whole conversation gay.

Seriously, that's what this photo looks like. Does this similarity mean anything?

No. It's odd, however.

Lest you forget, Chuck will always be from North Dakota.

He doesn't have OCD. He's not autistic. He doesn't have asperger's. He's simply from North Dakota.

The Wall Street Journal today had a brief article, linked below, that attempts to create a "geography of personality." North Dakota is ranked first in "Extraversion" and "Agreeableness," but last in "Openness."

So, if you find Chuck Klosterman willing to talk a lot, being fairly happy to do so, but not saying much of weight, par for the course. At least in North Dakota.

But seriously, with this hipster glasses he looks like a douche.

An earlier commenter posted link to Friedman getting pied during Earth Day. However, this recent video from the University of Colorado Climate Symposium shows Friedman making some surprising points.

Actually, in spite of my subject line, I agree with Tiberius. A vlogger at Democracy Yesterday! has already posted something to Youtube related to this.

I agree that the "Marge Gunderson" accent is a fair comparison, but comparing the intellect of the two people (or are they both characters?) is not as fair.

In _Fargo_, Marge Gunderson was polite, folksy, BUT very smart. She used her charm as a weapon to find out what she wanted. Re-watch her interview with Jerry Lundegaard at the car dealership and you can see that every phrase of hers drives toward catching him in a lie or exposing some sort of deception.

Seriously,

This was just posted at the Columbus Post Dispatch.

Don't listen to those two other letter writers. The REAL origin of the fart 2 birth joke is from an old episode of the UK's "The Young Ones." It was this crazy episode from like 25 years ago.

The whole house blows up because of a cigar and really crazy pregnant lady.

King,

The Onion already covered this ground ages ago. Here's proof for your eyes.

Gravity is a lie. So says Jebus. Proof, I has it.

Look at this quote from the article: "Apparently, the New Amcrican Man is the kind of guy who can change the diapers on his baby and the tires on his snow machine"

First, what's an "Amcrican"? I don't know either.

Secondly, how do you change a tire on a snow machine? Think about it. I'd really like to know.

Does this author know anything?

Is your friend Kanye West? He may be.

If your friend is Kanye West (make sure you ask him, because you can never really know) he really is a music-biz hotshot.

Seriously.

However, if you confront your friend Kanye West, be prepared when he creates a new fantasy world in which he's somehow classy and talented.

No, no, no. If you want to be truly entertained and feel good about the good sense of honest people in America, you have to read the Dover v. Kitzmiller decision concerning the teaching of intelligent design in a high school.
