two days...

[rone]

... two frickin' days i don't touch LJ and i'm backed up to skip=380.  Who are you fuckin' people?  Don't you ever shut the fuck up?  Seriously!

Two Crooks and Liars links: Jon Stewart trades punches with Christopher Hitchens and wins in a close but unanimous decision, and Dick Cheney talks about the very likely possibility of Iraq turning into a quagmire... in 1991.  Next time, take your own fuckin' advice, Dick, you fucking reject.

This made my brain hurt very much:

... this week's Time reports on "Christian yoga," a "fast-growing movement that seeks to retool the 5,000-year-old practice of yoga to fit Christ's teachings" such as by renaming the "sun salutation, a series of poses honoring the Hindu sun god ... the 'Son' salutation."

I saw the Hitchens interview and I didn't perceive it as Hitchens having his ass handed to him. Though I largely disagree with the direction Hitchens has headed in the last few years, I think he's a very intelligent man, and I think when Stewart has an intelligent foil, it helps him focus his own arguments. It was beautiful, though.

Well, he did score a solid punch in the mouth responding to Hitchens's "sunshine" crack. But you're right, and i've amended my assessment above.

I still consider Stewart's horrible Kerry interview as a brutally missed opportunity.

I wholeheartedly agree with you on the Kerry interview. It's been a long time since I've seen so damn many softball questions. I expected better of Stewart.
