Bears, Beers, Battlestar Galactica
Great time with nerbles yesterday in Char-town. Many beers were consumed. Much hipstering was had. Saw The King’s Speech and Black Swan. Ate waaaay too much food. Watched Billy Madison. Good times indeed.

One of my roommates is friends with someone who went to school with us who’s name rhymes with Schobbin Root. She’s in my apartment right now. I think she’s crashing on our couch tonight. I can’t handle this right now.

but damn. Some hot tea and a splash of American Honey? That shit is working miracles.
“We are asking that they stop saying that they are selling beef.”
– Attorney Dee Miles, speaking on behalf of an Alabama law firm which has filed a class-action lawsuit against Taco Bell alleging that their “meat mixture” contains less than 35% actual beef. Among the other ingredients: An anti-dusting agent.
A Taco Bell spokesman responded to the charge, saying...

A job-killing plan for arts and culture? →
hydeordie:
If you gave me a buck, and next year I returned $18.75 to you, would you think that was a good deal? I would. With savings accounts, money markets and even stocks yielding just a few percentage points on investments these days, a return in excess of 18% is pretty staggering. Yet, that’s what happens with federal support for arts and culture. It pays for itself 18 times over. Federal...
But seriously, J. Hunt, I take back all the "nerd"...
One of my roommates sits at the kitchen table, which he’s taken over with his big-ass computer, and plays WOW for hours at a time. (I assume it’s WOW. Could be some other fantasy RPG.) He then makes loud jokes about WOW stuff while I watch TV. I just… don’t know.
I noticed Harris Teeter puts the candy shelves directly across from the tampons. Clever.
nerbles asked: Well, I don't think it's aaaactually the Tom Waits song, but it's a pretty good rip off of "Jesus Gonna Be Here"
(Which is pretty clever/WRONG considering the commercial)
I'll see if I can find it...

Did you know that the latest Viagra commercial features a Tom Waits song? Also, I think you need to get William the Pleaser tattooed on you somewhere. I may tattoo Lucinda on me.
HOW MANY BEARS DID YOU WASH TONIGHT?

More importantly, watching Marcel last night I realized he fucking looks (and, kinda sounds) like Mason. Catawba folks—amirite?
(via nerbles)
Holy shit… he does indeed. Why does Mason look like so many people?

So of course we bought some little airplane bottles from the local ABC. I’m about to crack into the Patron. God help us all.

Also, one of my roommate’s is the guy who sits on his computer in the living room and just laughs at shit loudly over and over and there’s an awkward pause like he expects me to say “What’s so funny?” but I don’t really care so I just ignore him.

Anyone know anything about Google Chrome?
It just straight up stopped working. Like, it won’t load anything at all. FIrefox, Safari, etc. work fine. My internet connection is fine. It’s not a firewall problem. I was just googling something about batman when it happened. Any thoughts?

Tom Waits releases chapbook for charity →
coslive:
Tom Waits has many titles, including published poet. As TwentyFourBit reported in November, the icon of rock has teamed up with journalist Michael O’Brien “for a book about homelessness featuring photography by O’Brien alongside a poem written by Waits.” Ahead of its release, ANTI- Records will release a chapbook version of Wait’s poem; entitled “Seeds On Hard Ground”, proceeds...
What's Happening in Tunisia Explained →

Want to know what’s happening in Tunisia? Let me explain:
What is Tunisia? Tunisia is a mostly Arab, mostly Muslim country in North Africa. It is on the south side of the Mediterranean sea, east of Algeria and west of Muammar Gaddafi’s Libya. Its capital is Tunis, and it has been ruled by dictators since it won independence from France in 1956. The current ruler, Zine...
David Brock Explains to Chris Matthews That Beck...
DAVID BROCK: But this is not street theater, as you know.
Glenn Beck himself has been responsible for three thwarted assassination attempts this year. And Sarah Palin --
CHRIS MATTHEWS: How is he responsible for them?
BROCK: Well, you want to know what they are?
MATTHEWS: You said it.
BROCK: Sure.
So, he burned Nancy Pelosi in effigy on his set. He tried to poison her with a chalice. OK. Some three weeks later, somebody tried to firebomb Nancy Pelosi`s house. That guy`s mother went on television and said he gets all his ideas from FOX News.
Do you know about Senator Patty Murray and the death threat that she got?
MATTHEWS: No. Go ahead.
BROCK: OK. It`s recorded. The guy says after the health care vote, he says, you have a target on your back and I can accomplish what I want to accomplish with one bullet.
He`s tried, convicted, and in the sentencing phase, his cousin writes in for leniency and she describes in a very chilling memo -- it`s on our Web site -- that he was slowly drawn into Glenn Beck`s world. And she portrays the guy, the attempted assassin, Charlie Wilson, as a victim of Beck.
And, number three, which you probably do know about, this liberal foundation in San Francisco was targeted by a gunman, Byron Williams, in June. The shooter gave jailhouse interviews -- and we published them -- and he says Glenn Beck is a schoolteacher on television and points to specific episodes of the Glenn Becks show that inspired him to do it.
MATTHEWS: Oh, God.

The EPA said it was revoking the permit granted to the Spruce Number One mine in West Virginia, which would have involved blasting the tops off mountains over more than 2,200 acres, because it would inflict “unacceptable” damage to surrounding valleys and streams.
