It might be a phenomenon that only happens in Los Angeles. The constant talk of diets and exercise. It’s everywhere around me. I run away from one conversation about raw food, to another about an exercise routines. I can’t fucking escape it. News flash — your exercise regimen is FUCKING BORING TO HEAR ABOUT. It’s disturbing that your daily...

Just goes to show how far Palin’s whiteness can take her. Zero intellect, two high school drop-outs, an unwed teen mother, a quitter of the one major job she had. Master of hateful coded language targeting opponents as not “real Americans”. Belongs to a church...

But, uh… I’ve been known to go off on rants at parties where I hardly know anyone about how fucked up it is that Antoine Dodson (whom I adore) became a meme.
