STEPHEN COLBERT SAID "EDWIN" IS A MORE FUN NAME THAN "BUZZ"

BUZZ ALDRIN WAS TRAUMATIZED

IT MAY NOT LOOK LIKE HE WAS BUT THAT'S JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT THE PICASSO OF PSYCHOLOGY

E: Morgan Freeman in Serious Condition After "Typical" Wreck

Quote
Morgan Freeman just had the darkest night of his life.

Hey, E?

You know that cutesy "open your article with a pun on the name of the movie the actor's in" thing?

When it's an article about how he's in the hospital after a car crash, IT'S NOT FUCKING CUTE.

What's next?  "Mary Kate on Ledger's Death: I'm Not Joking"?

You know, I half expected that article to quote Thad somewhere.

Thanks for wasting my time, buttbrain.

Wake me up when you actually are one of the nerdy political consults on some news network.

So uh... hey... how about not reading the HL2 thread for a while?  You know, cause it's totally lame.  Yeah.

Way to unfunny Thad's comment!

In fact, here's a list of the ways you've unfunnied the comment.

  • Explaining a joke.
  • Missing the fact that you made the same exact joke as Thad.
  • Overstating the joke much in the manner that I am now doing with this parody.

I'm not going to feel bad about fully expecting a news media network to quote you someday.

And I will be there to laugh and laugh  :lol:

Kurtz at the Washington Post summarizes the press's dilemma on the Edwards story: on the one hand, it's more than reasonable for the media to exercise caution when a tabloid breaks a political sex scandal (anyone remember the Kerry intern story that turned out to be bullshit?), but on the other, there comes a point where there's enough evidence to do some real digging and determine whether the story's for real.

In this case, the National Enquirer got it (at least mostly) right, and the MSM dropped the ball.

(As for the Edwards story itself?  It leaves me thinking much less of him as a person, but that has nothing to do with his politics, which I still wholeheartedly agree with.  But it was irresponsible for him to run for President with baggage like this that he should have known would eventually come out.)

Rupert Murdoch also owns UK tabloid The Sun, not so much a source of news as a ploy to sell recycled paper.

So, I don't normally read DK, but for those of you who don't, I had to share this one:

"Hey remember me?.. 'Retired'? What on earth are you talking about?!?!"

I would DEARLY love to see him get a conviction and actually have it STICK this time, but sadly he's not actually on trial.

Well I know the courthouse I'm at is pretty much completely shut down that day.

Do you understand how terrifying the words “vibrating strap on” are for an asexual? That’s like saying “the holocaust” to a Jew.
