“Rush was admitted to a Honolulu hospital today and is resting comfortably after...”
– Statement on RUSH LIMBAUGH’s website. Limbaugh was taken to a hospital yesterday after suffering “chest pains” and reportedly told responding paramedics he had been taking medication for a back problem.
In case you were wondering if he was okay.

Like George could have a life? Darth Cheney is in charge of eliminating witnesses and evidence. For Bush, I see a convenient jeep accident on the ranch.

Be careful. Proceed with caution, as this may upset you. I sent someone to buy After Henry, Slouching Towards Bethlehem, Miami and Political Fictions (IN THAT ORDER) at the Union Square Barnes & Noble today. They do not however carry any of those books at this time.
So? Buy a scented candle. Where do you think you are?

I think the time has come for me to sound off on all you children here on Tumblr, stealing MY culture. If you were born in the early 80s, or mid 80s, you know what I’m talking about.
Reblogged for the hilarity of the whole thing.
I’m nostalgic for pull-tabs on my Coke instead of pop-tops.

You would have loved my Aunt K. One Christmas, when I was a very doofy myopic slightly chubby 13 year old, she gifted me a weird and dumpy dress (from Sak’s Fifth, she had a good job) and handed...

Sad coworker: “Meanwhile, my phone was stolen and some dominican is taking photos of his penis and posting them on my facebook.”

See, this is why I like teaching English in companies. I go to an office, I see how nuts everyone is, and then…I get to leave!!
OMG! I am sexy!

I just found that I am one of the Five Sexiest Writers of 2009. There are only five, but you know, there’s “hot” and then there’s “writer-hot.” Still.
You are the adorables. But howzabout the sexy boy writers? The other 4. Because you know Balk is on the list. (Even if he doesn’t put Christmas decorations up at Awl headquarters.)

She knows the way to my heart is through a bottle of wine.
The hardest part about going back to the US — the fact that buying a mere bottle of wine, which is considered as important as milk in the family shopping basket in a lot of European countries , is more difficult than buying cocaine in Spain. Oh, we can’t sell wine, it’s not healthy. Yeah. And Starbucks...

BUGGER THAT FOR A GAME OF SOLDIERS.
I do love an old family feud at Christmas.
Please excuse me while I inject a slightly serious note: I’ve written about different versions of English here before, and I’d never in a million years attempt to make the argument that any is better than any...

IKEA here in Spain was selling small potted fir trees that would grow well on a balcony in this climate. Don’t know if they still do. I think they also took them back, with a tiny refund, for people who didn’t want to keep raising them.

Don’t feel too bad. I watched about 5 minutes of a movie on TV yesterday before I realized it was Love Actually…wash my eyes out with bleach, please.
