Sadly, it is the small businesses that suffer from the escalation of the...

Note from earlier: On the way to tonight’s fundraiser, the press van spotted a New Yorker giving the motorcade his middle finger. Unclear whether it was for the president, the press, the traffic jam or something else entirely.

More and more evidence from around the world is suggesting that many of the terrorists wreaking havoc both in America and abroad are often racked with emotional and mental trauma themselves. Paul Kix ran down just some of this research, that of the University of Alabama’s Adam Lankford, in a Boston Globe piece from December 2010:

When Nate Hill, the performance artist, tweeted that he would be in front of our building throwing free cheeseburgers to people on the street, which we read about in The Guardian, we had to see for ourselves. With camera phone in one hand, we documented his trip down the block AND caught a cheeseburger!
Performance art? You be the judge. But don’t miss another performance artist, Marina...

“‘Orthodox Jewish’ and ‘no experience in corruption’ is oxymoronic.”

The person who said that is Jewish
But they still suck....

Connor Ratliff for President: He’s Old Enough!
Connor Ratliff, member of Upright Citizens Brigade improv team The Stepfathers, is running for President. What makes him qualified? In his words, “I’m 36 and that’s old enough to be President.” He’s been traversing the Isle of Manhattan to make his case, from a press conference in Battery Park to General Grant National Memorial (Grant’s...

Exciting news from Arctic Rodeo recordings… and all profits go to Cal Robbins!

“We had a party, and I had learned to bless the bread, and I did that: Baruch atah adonai eloheinu melech ha’olam hamotzi lechem min ha’aretz—still do it. Even though I’m pretty sure the last time I blessed bread was on my 13th birthday. And, I don’t know what anything I just said means.”

“via txt”

Getting notifications from both used to be super-annoying! (I used to get yelled at by friends who would be awakened by late-night Dodgeball notifications from me.) Putting them in...
