I don’t usually reblog this many things in a row, but how can you NOT with this thing?
You all probably don’t know how I feel about owls. You will soon.

To put them in perspective, I think of being on an airplane. The flight attendant comes down the aisle with her food cart and, eventually, parks it beside my seat. ‘Can I interest you in the chicken?’ she asks. ‘Or would you prefer the platter of shit with bits of broken glass in it?’ To be undecided in this election is to pause for a moment and then ask how the chicken is cooked.

Here’s the thing about Americans. You can send their kids off by the thousands to get their balls blown off in foreign lands for no reason at all, saddle them with billions in debt year after congressional year while they spend their winters cheerfully watching game shows and football, pull the rug out from under their mortgages, and leave them living off their credit cards and their Wal-Mart salaries while you move their jobs to China and Bangalore.
And none of it matters, so long as you remember a few months before Election Day to offer them a two-bit caricature culled from some cutting-room-floor episode of Roseanne as part of your presidential ticket.
Great style.

Yes, I am real and I am really here looking for a wife. I am very picky, so the advantage of NOT being desperate enables me to wait, even a long time, to find the one right for me. I may find her soon, or it may take months or even years. Rest assured, I’ll be here looking until I find her.Quick Disqualification List

‘There are two Americas - separate, unequal, and no longer even acknowledging each other except on the barest cultural terms. In the one nation, new millionaires are minted every day. In the other, human beings no longer necessary to our economy, to our society, are being devalued and destroyed.’

God:
That’s interesting. How old are you?
Me:
You’re so saucy, god.
God:
Do you mind if I tell other people you say I am a saucy god.
Me:
Mind? No. I encourage it.
God:
What do you have that is ? That was not a yes or no question. I haven’t heard anything like that before: said encourage it.
Me:
You’re so wasted.
God:
Thanks for telling me that I am wasted.
Me:
OK, now I feel guilty.
