You don’t have to live next to me
Just give me my equality

-Nina Simone, Mississippi Goddam

Clearly a different subject matter, but it seems someone is always fighting for basic rights in this allegedly free country.

Isn’t it weird when you wake up on a Monday morning thinking you have the early stages of H1N1 and then you end the evening with four bourbon and ginger ales and two hamburgers and a buttload of fries and you feel, like, totally refreshed and it’s definitely not those four bourbon and ginger ales making you think you’re less ill than you really are? OMG ME TOO.

Truths.

“All I want to do is graduate from high school, go to Europe, marry Christian Slater, and die. Now it may not sound too great to a sconehead like you, but I think it’s swell. And you come along and tell me I’m a member of the hairy mole club so you can throw things at me?” Watched this last night. It was as amazing as I remembered.

“According to Fox, their weekday news programming runs from 9am to 4pm and 6pm to 8pm for a total of 9 newsy hours a day. Let me, help you, as an audience, out. The 3 hours in the morning you spend with Fox and Friends, not news! Your 4 o’clock to 5 o’clock post tea and crumpets Neil Cavuto break, not news! The 5 o’clock to 6 o’clock emotional whirlwind group therapy session that is Glenn Beck, mmmmmm not even close to news. O’Reilly, Hannity, Van Susteran, not news. This is according to Fox News. Those people, the ones featured in promos about how fair and balanced Fox News is, are not news. These people, otherwise known as the only people you think of when you think of Fox News, are not news. They’re Fox Opinutainment.” Jon Stewart (via soupsoup)

How faux democrats like Joe Lieberman (Conn.) and Sen. Evan Bayh (Ind.) are lining their pockets while trying to stop healthcare reform.

Rachel calling them out, because she is the best.
