2008 World Press Photo of the Year



"A picture of an armed sheriff moving through an American home after an eviction due to a mortgage foreclosure won the top prize in the World Press Photo competition.
Jury members said the strength of the photo by Anthony Suau for Time magazine was in its opposites - it looks like a classic war photograph, but is simply the eviction of people from a house."

Lil' Pulp Fiction

Obviously, you have to watch until the very end. Sadly, both kids are better actors than that loony chick who played Honey Bunny.

Our ex-governor is hipper than yours. That's right, Oregon.

There are plenty of reasons Jerry Brown was a fantastic Governor of California (1975-1983): his passionate environmentalism, the effort to bring minorities and women to high levels of state government, and selling the Governor's Mansion to live in an apartment.  But let's take some time to appreciate his ludicrous and yet completely appropriate portrait: 


Oh right, did I mention he's running again? More Governor Moonbeam, please! (h/t Ezra Klein)

Grunt sigh moan grunt holler yell sigh wince groan cringe grunt.

Just a reminder: Thomas Friedman still sucks

From Matt Taibbi's latest for NY Press: 

If you’re going to draw a line that measures the level of “freedom” across the entire world and on that line plot just four randomly-selected points in time over the course of 30 years—and one of your top four “freedom points” in a 30-year period of human history is the privatization of a Nigerian oil field—well, what the fuck? What can’t you argue, if that’s how you’re going to make your point? He could have graphed a line in the opposite direction by replacing Berlin with Tiananmen Square, substituting Iraqi elections for Iran’s call for Israel’s destruction (incidentally, when in the last half-century or so have Islamic extremists not called for Israel’s destruction?), junking Iran’s 1997 call for dialogue for the U.S. sanctions against Iran in ’95, and so on. It’s crazy, a game of Scrabble where the words don’t have to connect on the board, or a mathematician coming up with the equation A B -3X = Swedish girls like chocolate. ...I looked at this and thought: “Gosh, what a neat trick!” Then I sat down and drew up my own graph, called SIZE OF VALERIE BERTINELLI’S ASS, 1985-2008, vs. HAP- PINESS. It turns out that there is an almost exact correlation!

Guess I missed "Summer Loving"

People Who Deserve It: Socially responsible reasons to punch someone in the face.

#74 - Impatient Subway Boarder

"The thing is, we can look past not being able to locate Iraq on a map, or believing every word posted on Wikipedia is fact. What we can’t comprehend is how people think trying to get on a packed train first, before others have exited, is a good idea. It’s fucking mind-blowing."

Every. Goddamned. Day. Jesus do I hate the L train in the morning.
