Tumblr feed.
I just realized that reading someone’s tumblr feed is remarkably like readign a David Markson novel. That’s by no means a complaint (take, for example, Magic Molly - I mean, who doesn’t love her tumblr?), but it reminds me a bit of reading something like Wittgenstein’s Mistress again. In a good way.

In which Lollipop Gomez gives you her take on the current financial crisis in America and reminds you that in the sequel to Wall Street, Gordon Gecko now lives in Thailand, deals only in euros, and spends his days teaching his catamites that greed is good.
Well… no, she doesn’t say that. But what she does say is equally worth a look. Go there. Go there now!

Boehner was blunt. The plan Paulson laid out would not win the support of the vast majority of House Republicans. It had been improved on the edges, with an oversight board and caps on the compensation of participating executives. But it had to be changed at the core. He did not mention the insurance alternative, but Democrats did. Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.),...

– Stumper : The Bailout Bill Failed. Should We Blame McCain?
This piece lays out the timeline of McCain’s actions for the past few days. It’s pretty sad to see that right next to the state of bailout negotiations.

One of the oddest things about researching Palin’s legislative record is her weird hostility to rape and sexual assault victims. Alaska has twice the national average of rapes and sexual assaults, so you would think that most public officials in Alaska would be aggressively working towards curbing that kind of violence, or at the very least, would make an attempt to seem...

In thought, word, and appearance: McCain reminds me of a marshmallow melting too quickly on top of a hot drink.
That marshmallow is very, very pissed off as he melts. And has this scary, cheesy grin when he’s hearing something that’s pissing him off but he’s trying not to fly off the handle.
