The Israeli Defense Force attack on aid ships en route to Gaza is a serious crime. The Middle East’s belligerent and circumcised monster has, once again, enraged the entire civilized world with its blatant disregard for human rights and international law. Now all eyes are on its current keeper, President Obama, to see what we’re gonna do about it. Read More

The hipster community, having exhausted most known pre-1999 lexicons and fashions to reinvigorate, now finds itself in a life-or-death struggle as the lack of a new anachronism to latch on to threatens the viability of the entire social structure.
Experts say the staidness of Converse sneakers, fedoras, and pretending to enjoy Pabst Blue Ribbon could sideline the whole hipster community unless a cutting-edge anachronism can be discovered. Read More
Name: Steve
Turn-ons: Po-boys, winged flight, “Treme,” green energy, Canadian offshore oil drilling regulations, which requires both remote safety shutoffs and pre-drilled pressure release wells, french fries and Calgon.
Turn-offs: The MMS, crystal meth, John Goodman’s neck, BP, Haliburton et al, Tony Podesta, Sarah Palin, all this fucking oil that’s on me and Rand Paul’s stupid face.

That’s what I think we ought to start calling these state/church separation issues. A phrase like “violation of the Establishment Clause” might interest nerds who are into constitutional law and secularism, but it’s the kind of phrase that causes everyone else’s eyes to just gloss over when spoken.

It’s all relative
While it’s borderline retarded to call the BP disaster “Obama’s Katrina,” like comparing apples and a bunch of dead black people, it’s not entirely unfair of Sarah Palin to bring up Obama’s ties to the unsafe oil giant.
As emotionally satisfying as it is to pin this black eco-death on Palin’s moronic “Drill, baby, drill!” ethos, it’s totally meaningless, because, you know, she is meaningless.
The partisan slick talk in the Gulf is killing objectivity — an already threatened species in the media marshlands. The relativism and blame-gaming obscures one very basic truism in American politics: fossil fuels are still a bipartisan issue. Seeing the established “left” and the “right’ snipe at each other over the web and TV is to watch the American people being lied to through omission. Read More

Say, Mr. Murphy—can I call you Ian?
Of course, Mr. Murphy is my father’s name. [Insincere chuckle]
Is the Buffalo Beast dead, or what? First you stopped printing, then went to website, then all posts stopped. What’s going on?
The BEAST isn’t dead, but it is starving. It’s very difficult to maintain the financial viability of any media outlet, especially in the internet age, and our particular brand of vulgarity has never played well with advertisers. While our abject lack of operational capital has been apparent, well, forever, it never seemed to bother us. But this winter was a demoralizing time, for a bunch of reasons, and we basically just dropped the ball. However, as this sycophantic interview and the other fresh posts suggest, I have picked up that ball. And I hope to accomplish some kind of sports metaphor with said ball in the near future.

Good evening. I’m Forrest Oak.
There’s a lot being made over this BP “oil spill” down in the Gulf. A lot of green-mongering. A lot of the same old Chicken Little routine we’ve seen coming out of the Gore-ista camp, for the last 700 years in this country. And, frankly, it’s just a whole mess of environmentalist bed-wetting.
Is anyone asking the tough questions? I mean, besides me. I’m Forrest Oak. For instance, is there really scientific consensus that this “spill” exists? And if there is scientific consensus on its existence, can we say with absolute certainty that it is man-made? It seems a little egotistical to think that humans could affect their environment on such a large and catastrophic scale. Some things are just not within our power. Now, if God wants to release a million gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico – if oil spills really exist – then that is within his divine power. But to suggest we could do that? Pure arrogance.

“The phrase ‘climate change denier’ is meant to be evocative of the phrase ‘holocaust denier.’”
– Dr. Roger Pielke Jr., political scientist, environmental studies professor at the University of Colorado at Boulder, blogger and Senior Fellow at The Breakthrough Institute (TBI) think tank“‘Global warming denier’ has long been viewed as a loaded term, Wikipedia notes, because it conjures an association with Holocaust deniers.”

Charges: Rose to god-like celebrity and tycoon-level riches smacking a ball into a hole with a stick.

Cheated on his Swedish supermodel wife with over a dozen women, all of whom look like “Rock of Love” washouts.
