I can’t be completely sure, but I *think* I woke up in Bizarro World this morning. These are the clues:
- When I opened my eyes, we were bombing the FUCKING MOON, and Matt Lauer was complaining because there was nothing cool to see.
- Then they said that Barack Obama had been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize…but nobody knows WHY
- Apparently the most influential man in the world is a fictional character on a TV show, and he’s not even a superhero or a police detective, but a 1960s ad agency executive!. The guy who just won the Nobel Peace Prize is #3 on the list, and #6 is a dead pedophile.
I think I might go back to bed and see if I can’t shake this.
Dear Harvey, Pete, Barry, Kevin, and every other weathermonkey on Boston-area TV: Enough is enough. The fucking blizzard was THIRTY-TWO YEARS AGO.

It’s going to be a long two months waiting for the iPad to actually ship so that all the tech bloggers and their hangers-on will stop writing so much speculative bullshit about iT and turn their attention iNstead to some other thing that’s going to Change Life As We Know iT. Since you cannot click [...]
Please, please, PUH-LEEZE stop talking about “What do we call the last decade?” Nobody could come up with an acceptable choice ten years ago, and nobody’s going to come up with one now. “Aughties” and “Naughties” are contrived and stupid, and so is the very idea that anything wraps up all nice and neatly into [...]
Weird. I had to check to make sure Wile E. Coyote hadn’t been appointed NASA administrator or something. And then I practically choked on my coffee at 6 this morning when I heard the headline about President Obama winning the Peace Prize. I spent the whole rest of the day waiting for the third thing to happen. Never did. Well, it did a little bit when both both the Republicans and the Taliban criticized the award of the Peace Prize.
So I guess we tracked Bin Laden to the moon then?
