Here’s a taste of what the site offers:
Barack Hussein Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii to a African radical Muslim father from Kenya, Barack Hussein Obama, Sr., and a atheist white American mother, Stanley Ann Dunham. According to divorce records they were married on February 2, 1961 in Maui. No guests attended the ceremony.[1] Barack Hussein Obama himself has questions...

“Before she could deconstruct the rest of his outfit, he slipped his hand down her teal leggings and into her Hello Kitty panties. She tried to appear as apathetic as possible as she dug her fingernails into his pale, slouching back. This was almost as good as the time she read Proust for the first time…but not as good as the time she read James Joyce’s Ulysses for the first time. The...

I love gratuitous mean-spiritedness. It’s one of the few pleasures of being a human being. And the only reason I would ever attend a sporting event (inserting “[other team] sucks!” into pauses in any variation of the ‘Hey Song’). And so I point you in the direction of Dickipedia. I feel it doesn’t need an explanation. Entries read as such: Mark Elliot Zuckerberg (born May 14, 1984) is...

Many stimulants, like caffeine, Adderall, and Ritalin … may actually make insights less (likely), by sharpening the spotlight of attention and discouraging mental rambles.

An interesting point-counter here, but I don’t think the author gets to the crux of the problem. Or, rather, he does so accidentally. He says of medical procedures: “They are necessities. They do not feel like a choice.” The latter is true, but the former is not.
It may seem painfully obvious upon statement, and I apologize if it is obvious outright (sorry Alex!), but the problem with the...

There is so much wonderful and good about Choire’s post on Radar about this latest kerfuffle that I am having trouble picking out my favorite part, but I do love his line about how “she thinks some crazy things, like that people can have their talent “stripped” from them (as if this were Dungeons & Dragons).”

Charles Krauthammer, who apparently works for the Washington Post (yes, I added “apparently” to display how relevant I feel he is: not at all), writes today to tell us that Barack considers himself the greatest politician ever, standing tall above even Jesus and Moses.
There are a flurry of problems with his logic and references. For instance, he says Obama can’t stand...
For my locale friends
So I’ve been looking for a place to make home here in Chicago for the past two weeks. I’ve ferociously scoured Craigslist for the right place. For a million reasons, I haven’t landed the right place (most of them being my fault-ish). I’m in the process of setting up appointments for this weekend, but I’m also not above appealing to you all (… all 6) for help.
I’m looking for a 1...

Julia & Spencer & Heidi & Audrina
My two cents: The difference between the two fameballs is important to note: one is interesting, one is not. Lauren/Heidi/Audrina, how ever vapid, shallow or contrived, features your standard dramatic arch: conflict followed by resolution. This hardly compares well to lip-synching Little Mermaid songs, dispensing emo advice, and oversharing sleep schedules.
