Happy Valentine’s Day!
Much worse.
Jim: OkCupid profile pic in front of the Anne Frank house. Does he not know who she was?

Simon Doonan is the Worst
Hey, Simon! Let’s analyze your piece about work clothes.
“The truth of the matter is that I am simply not a helpful gay. I lack the supportive Queer Eye gene that allows one to calmly dispense quotidian advice.”
Okay, so you feign ignorance like the 21-year-old who “doesn’t watch TV” and says while shrugging, “What’s a Gaga? Is that like a...

That Other Show
I recognize that everyone is maniacally huffing on the dizzying fumes of Parks & Recreation’s incessant, addictive and admittedly awesome effervescence in order to forget the respective and relative Nairobis of our lives, but last week’s 30 Rock was excellent, and at some point we all have to accept that we’ll never know the touch of Adam Scott’s hyper-pursed lips.

I have a better idea for promoting gay rights and the gay people who fight for those gay rights: Employ gay actors.
Congrats on your Oscars and insane salaries and huge Hollywood clout, Sean and Hilary and Charlize and Tom!

“Also, a member of the new cleaning crew at our office was dusting the conference room, and the duster popped out of the door for a moment right near me, and I totally flipped because I thought it was a bird, so I had to explain to my poor neighbor that I’m insane.”
Amending my equation: Natasha + bird any object that appears winged = magic

So I'm a Pollyanna
If during one of the many interviews for my current job I had said, “I see you brought in that other dude as a candidate. Man, do I have some dirt on him,” I would’ve been silenced even before I had the chance to continue. In fact, I would’ve been immediately dismissed, and my unprofessional behavior, reported to recruiters citywide, would haunt me for interviews to come....

I love you, Ke$ha. I really do. Cannibal is a great album, and you seem not to take yourself too seriously, which is refreshing.
But the placement of “Only” in your seriously catchy “Only Wanna Dance with You” suggests that you want to do nothing but dance with this dude: no smooching, no sexing. Based on the lyrics of this song, (and those of your other songs, through...

Leave it to Lincoln
“If [Lincoln’s] earlier comments on the balanced budget held out inspiration for today’s Tea Party, here was some red meat for Occupy Wall Street:
‘Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration....
