Let’s face it: The former frat boys who populate Wall Street today understand economics about as well as the pinko professors whose courses they snored through.

That’s why betting their entire industry on “subprime” loans to people with no jobs and no collateral made sense to them—and why betting the entire U.S. economy on the likes of Hillary and Obama makes sense to them now.

These jokers don’t even know what’s in their own self-interest, much less yours. Trusting them with your money is like trusting Bill Clinton to babysit your underage niece.”

Big was received with almost unanimous critical acclaim, and is considered by many critics the gold standard of movies in which a child is trapped in an adult’s body.

Go back to New York, Geek Chic.

I truly love photos that are meant to appear casual and unplanned, but where the individual elements are so unrealistically and illogically placed it’s obviously just someone trying to demonstrate every facet of their awesome lifestyle. They often involve lit candles, pretentious hardbacks, sophisticated alcohol, and acoustic guitars.

This guy is such a hero though… how exactly is he planning on drinking the wine? I just love imagining the actual execution of this photo shoot, haha. LOVE IT!

I guess a plastic straw would throw off the look they’re going for here.

Satire? They have to be kidding. Are the editorial staff of the New Yorker so tone-deaf to the political realities in this country that they don’t understand how their self-indulgent “satire” will be put to use? By reducing the argument, as they do in their response to criticism, to purely literary and aesthetic considerations, they prove themselves to be asinine beyond belief. As others besides myself have pointed out, this idiocy hands the yahoos a weapon they themselves would not have had the wit to hone. In their sense of intellectual entitlement, they forget the vast mass of voters who lack the critical discrimination to read their cover in other than literal terms: those many who will understand it at face value, not for its ironical intention.

You stupid, elitist prick.

I tried to find a good Bush, McCain, or even Hillary caricature to go with this post, but there are hundreds. Your hypocritical idolatry of Obama is just as damaging to our nation’s political discourse as the slavish devotion of these tards. When South Park skewers fart-sniffing liberals, they are talking about YOU.

At least someone over there gets it.

Dear,

As part of the development of the discipline representative training packages for the Phase 2 Work Level Evaluation Panels, it has been acknowledged that a broad perspective of discipline input regarding Multispeciality (specialist generalist) will be beneficial to this process.

Although the formal recruitment of discipline representatives has not occurred as of yet, it is recognised that incorporating a broad perspective regarding skills within a discipline is required.

Is NonSociety the “startup” that’s the focus of IT Girls?

Because if it is: how fucking meta. A reality show about a website that’s actually just a collection of blogs about the lives of the stars of the reality show.

Is your head spinning yet? Mine sure is.

It completely makes sense to me and would explain why it’s so glossy without any noticeable signs of ever needing to producing income. The whole site looks like someone from Bravo anyway.

So basically it’s Hannah Montana for grown ups. Touché, JA… touché.
