I've just had the depressing realization that without Jon and Stephen, my interest in politics has plummeted to nearly zero.

Which actually makes sense, given that I was pretty apolitical when Jon took over TDS. It was really his tenure on the show that got me interested in politics again, which I'd lost since I left Santa Cruz, and even living there in the early 90's, it was local rather than national that interested me. Having Jon, and then Stephen, as guides made it all worth paying attention to, but now that they're gone, it's all just a bunch of fucking white guys yelling at each other again. When they're not yelling at each other, they're bullying the rest of us, and I just can't be bothered.

*sigh*

Hey, everyone! The campaign to name part of the space station for Our Fearless Leader is going well!


The count by mid-Tuesday had votes for the comedian just shy of 115,000 and Serenity trailing at 98,641. More than 451,000 people have voted.

So if any of you haven't cast your vote, do so now!

Truth From the Gut

Stephen goes after Glenn Beck


There's no way I can even begin to quote from this. Just trust me: go and worship at the Altar of Colbert.

Colbert "defends" Rush Limbaugh and Bill "Papa Bear" O'Reilly by arguing that conservative blowhards are only offensive if the public hears them.

Colbert explains the problem as only he can: "Hatemongers like Media Matters take innocent statements like mine, Rush Limbaugh's, John Gibson's, and Bill O'Reilly's and make them offensive by posting them on the Internet, allowing the general public to hear words that were meant for people who already agree with us. Hey, Media Matters, you want to end offensive speech? Then stop recording it for people who would be offended. Because the Constitution gives us broadcasters the right to say anything we want but that doesn't mean that just anyone has the right to listen."



I am never getting married. If I can't have Stephen, I don't want anybody.
