Cee-Lo, sanitized
NPR: You know I realize, we made it this far into the conversation, Cee-Lo Green, without having talked about the song that went viral this summer, put you on the charts. The sanitized version is: Forget You.
Cee-Lo: So sanitized...

Dammit I love La Blogotheque.  This Aloe Blacc show is a particularly good one — when he starts singing, ever so casually, it’s hard to imagine the world keeps moving.  Another fine example with Jamie Lidell here.

Dear Democrats: You are stupid →
So Obama cut a deal on the taxes and the Democrats all have their panties in a twist.  I’m all for holding on to your principles and overreaching when you have a vast majority in Congress and just won two blowout elections.  But let’s be honest, Democrats, you got whooped in November.  It’s time to swallow a bitter pill or two.  As bitter pills go, Obama did exactly what he...

– The best reader letter to the NY Times ever. Also, she HAS A POINT. (via negevrockcity) I think I cried a little when I read this. (via skybarn) I read this yesterday night and wanted to blog it. I mean. “I resent this borrowed term which conceals its true yuppie identity”!!!!! ZING, HIPSTERS!...

– It’s amazing that Frank Rich’s son could be so freaking hilarious.  Discussing his diet is far more entertaining than I would have anticipated.  He’s 26, went to Harvard, writes for SNL and is actually really really funny…I hate him. His book and New Yorker articles are...

“Us: Kanye West is similar to you in that he’s the producer everybody wants to...”
– This is worth mentioning for a couple of reasons.  First off, I think Jones is right to some degree.  His later statement (which was probably carefully edited) clarifies that he’s talking as much about making comparisons between a 60 year career and a 10 year one.  Which is absolutely fair,...

The 50 Worst States in America Humor: GQ.com →
This is all kind of hilarious. 44. Pennsylvania Why did the Amish choose Pennsylvania? Maybe because it makes barn-raising and noodle-pressing look infinitely preferable to modern life. Not to suggest that the Keystone State is “modern”: With the collapse of Big Steel, PA’s principle exports are puke, Taser videos, and Arlen Specter. (Two of these are courtesy of Phillies...
