Thought of the Day:
rockuboff: I usually have a big pool party at my house on Long Island over the summer. I was thinking of maybe having a Tumblr meet up/pool party if people would be down. I’m only an hour by train from the city and 45 minutes by car from most points in Brooklyn. Thoughts? It would be bad ass… Yes, please!

Love is a funny word. It’s not spelled like it sounds! How frustrating for non-English speakers. To simplify things, from now on we should spell it l-e-e-i-j-u-s-t-w-a-n-t-t-o-b-e-f-r-i-e-n-d-s.
(I’m not sure if this joke makes sense, but I never let that stop me before)

How to make a watermelon keg →
This reminds me of waking up buck-naked on top of an open suitcase full of clothes, wire hangers, and toiletries to the sound of my dear friend Liz’s gentle voice saying, “Don’t freak out, Nora, but your flight is in two minutes.” Oh, to be a sophomore in college… Via adeandabet, ashers, pterodactyls.

The mighty tumblr fails me
Last night, Matt, Casey and I were talking about how we are a dollar short and about a month late if the New York Times is already reporting on the miracle fruit.
Tumblr, why didn’t you give us the heads up? I mean, the invite to that tasting party in Queens was on Thrillist for Pete’s sake!
Please, my minions: I expect better of you in the future. I must be up on all that is...

Mea not-so-culpa
Scott McClellan states in What Happened: Inside the Bush White House and Washington’s Culture of Deception that the Bush administration used a “political propaganda campaign” to sell the Iraq war. This criticism comes from the PRESS SECRETARY. Are you f’ing kidding me? And who does he blame? Not the President, who he said in an NPR interview he still likes (does this...

Little Scott McClennan takes on the White House
I think it’s hilarious that 5 people reblogged this … and it took my dad to point out the glaringly obvious: RE: it’s little scott McClellan spell check peace, Mark Ha! Thanks, Dad. rebloggingrebloggingjulia: Good take on this bite. McClennan was routinely taken to task by the White House press corps for being exceedingly short and condescending in his answers during press...
Bzzzzz
That’s the sound of caffeine (tea) and sugar (Italian cookies) and alcohol (vodka) and fun (Nick Gray) in my ears.
Little Scott McClennan takes on the White House
biteofpythias, in response to my earlier post: I’m all for this stuff coming to light at some point. But it pisses me off when all these retired cabinet members, staff, generals, etc.. write their books outlining what they view as basically treasonous acts (and clearly are) yet none of them had the pride and morality at the time to resign with public comment rather than play along in the...
