I enjoy popular culture and wearing elaborate Halloween costumes.

The Winter Olympics are the inferior Olympics

Sure, you like Sean White OK. You think moguls are kind of neat and those backflips on skis and/or snowboards and the downhill stuff plus bobsledding and luging are alright, too, you guess.* You dutifully loved curling for 20 seconds because everyone else was pretending to think it was cool.

Not to detract from all those wintry athletes out there. BUT. ALL OF THOSE THINGS ARE SO INFERIOR TO THIS.

Swimming!

Track and field!

Archery!

Platform diving!

Volleyball!

Basketball!

More swimming!

AND FUCKING GYMNASTICS!

The Summer Olympics are a bajillion times better.

*Speedskating is pretty badass, though.

When you laugh at Michele Bachmann for going on MSNBC and blurting out that the moon is made of red communist cheese, these people don’t learn that she is wrong. What they learn is that you’re a dick, that they hate you more than ever, and they’re even more determined now to support anyone who promises not to laugh at their own visions and fantasies.

A passage from Matt Taibbi’s frankly hate-filled “Rolling Stone” piece on Michele Bachmann (see: “these people”), even more poignant due to events of this morning.
