NYTimes: The Making (and Remaking) of McCain
It was 11:45, and the Palins had entered the bar. Dozens of staff members and delegates flocked to the governor, cellphone cameras outstretched. Todd and Sarah Palin posed, shook hands and extended their gracious appreciation for 15 minutes. Then, no doubt realizing that they would never be able to enjoy a drink in peace, they withdrew for the evening, again to raucous applause.
While all of this...

– Radar: Hip Young People Hate Gay Marriage (via nickdouglas)
I know this is immature, but I watch all these “Preserve Marriage” ads and I can hardly control my impulse to draw shit-moustaches on all these horribly misguided young people.
The entire campaign is based on, “Listen,...

BONER PARTY (cont'd) →
Okay, I tried to unfollow BONER PARTY because boners are infantile and parties make me uncomfortable and I’m so far above looking at cute girls on the Internet. But damn it if I didn’t get drawn back in by its nearly impeccable taste in cute girls, a goofy picture of Shannyn Sossamon and this quote:
being famous on the internet is a lot like being the prettiest waitress at IHOP....

TV Tropes Wiki →
I just found something pretty cool that’s been around since 2004. It started as a place to collect well-known television writing tropes but has since expanded to include film, comics, and video games.

Even in dirty campaigns such as this one, where half-truths, obfuscation and exaggeration abound (from both sides, mind you), when you challenge the voting public to judge your opponent by what is known of him, you show respect for your audience, your opponent, and the political process. When you do as the McCain campaign has done in these more dire of their campaign days—challenge your audience...

Digital Love in an Analogue Space
bittentongue:
My first cell phone had a series of text message templates. They included such generally specific communique as “Be home soon” and “Where should we meet?”
Disturbingly, though, one template simply said, “I love you.” While the phrase may be the second most used in the English language (right behind “I think we should see other people,” luckily not an option on the phone) and...
