You Give [Liberalism] A Bad Name

Charline: I'll defend Bon Jovi, but that doesn't mean I want to listen to him.

Devon: Funny, that's how I usually feel about the Democratic Party.

This might be my favorite 60 seconds of television ever.

I've been waking up to this every day for the past week. Yes, I know it through the (superb) Assassin's Creed: Revelations trailer. Don't judge me.

[devongrandy]

Perfect.

America’s real crisis is not a debt crisis. It’s an unemployment crisis. Yet this agreement not only doesn’t address unemployment, it’s guaranteed to make it worse. (Incredibly, the Democrats even abandoned their demand for extended unemployment benefits as part of the deal.) As Mohamed El-Erian, the chief executive of the bond investment firm Pimco, told me, fiscal policy includes both a numerator and a denominator. “The numerator is debt,” he said. “But the denominator is growth.” He added, “What we have done is accelerate forward, in a self-inflicted manner, the numerator. And, in the process, we have undermined the denominator.” Economic growth could have gone a long way toward shrinking the deficit, while helping put people to work. The spending cuts will shrink growth and raise the likelihood of pushing the country back into recession.

GPOYW: new specs. Please take note that, as these are prescription lenses, they do not necessarily qualify as hipster glasses. Right?

There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year-old's life: THE LORD OF THE RINGS and ATLAS SHRUGGED. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.

Nicole: I never really understood video games.

Devon: They're like books, but you get to shoot people.

devon grandy, do you have a girl friend?

I do not, in fact, have a girlfriend at this time. Unless you're asking as to whether or not I have a girl friend, as did the original semantic of your question, in which case the answer is yes; I have many female friends with whom I am very close and share a great deal of mutual respect.

Now, who wants to know?

This will waste away both your free time and your composure. What keeps you awake at night?

[devongrandy]

Clever.

This guy is 5'10" and white. He's genetically predisposed to being mediocre at basketball. And yet.

This is one of my father's favorite quotes. Still on the fence.
