this says so much

Julian said tonight that he listened to a lot of books on tape while on rock ‘n’ roll music tour with The Pope. He liked it all except Thomas Friedman’s The World is Flat which he correctly noted to be lame bullshit.

The best part? Friedman reads the book himself, and when he gets to India and is talking to the locals he reads their speech in his version of an Indian person’s accented English.

What. An. Asshole.

I can hardly wait until he gets to China.

Ain’t buyin’ nothin’.

I am fixing to write a spamassassin rule that shitcans everything with “Holiday” in the subject line. Everyone I ever bought anything from or thought about buying anything from suddenly has Holiday Gift Ideas, Holiday Newsletters, Free Shipping for the Holidays, Foolproof Holiday Activities, and is, in fact, Your Headquarters for the Holidays.

We’re nearing the permanent Christmas of Brazil. If anyone needs me, I’ll be driving around the neighborhood deflating these gigantic blow-up turkeys on people’s lawns with a screwdriver on the end of a shovel.
