Check out the beginnings of what promises to be a monster sissyfight between Matt Taibbi and the subject of his book review, fellow journalist (and total prick) Thomas Friedman:
When some time ago a friend of mine told me that Thomas Friedman’s new book, Hot, Flat, and Crowded, was going to be a kind of environmentalist clarion call against American consumerism, I almost died laughing.
Beautiful, I thought. Just when you begin to lose faith in America’s ability to fall for absolutely anything—just when you begin to think we Americans as a race might finally outgrow the lovable credulousness that leads us to fork over our credit card numbers to every half-baked TV pitchman hawking a magic dick-enlarging pill, or a way to make millions on the Internet while sitting at home and pounding doughnuts— along comes Thomas Friedman, porn-stached resident of a positively obscene 114,000 square foot suburban Maryland mega-monstro-mansion and husband to the heir of one of the largest shopping-mall chains in the world, reinventing himself as an oracle of anti-consumerist conservationism.
As you might have guessed, I’ve been very busy and I’m sorry I haven’t posted lately. But when nerfgun sent this my way, I felt it was urgent to share it. For the love of God and all that is holy,go see why.
Thanks to his parents, this kid’s going to need major therapy in 3,2,1…
Hello, poison control? You’ve gotta help me, I just ingested this commercial and I feel all weird and sweaty.
Christopher Hitchens wrote a whole book about why organized religion sucks. He could have just waited for this and saved some trees:
DALLAS — The pastor of a mega-church says he will challenge married congregants during his sermon Sunday to have sex for seven straight days — and he plans to practice what he preaches.
“We’re going to give it a try,” said the Rev. Ed Young, who has four children with his wife of 26 years.
Young, 47, said he believes society promotes promiscuity and he wants to reclaim sex for married couples. Sex should be a nurturing, spiritual act that strengthens marriages, he said.
“God says sex should be between a married man and a woman,” Young said. “I think it’s one of the greatest things you can do for your kids because so goes the marriage, so goes the family.”
Yes, we are actually talking here about people who are waiting for permission from their pastor to have all the sex they want.
Oh yeah, just so you take this story totally seriously, here’s the guy’s picture.
He’s going to have sex with his wife every day for a week. For Jesus. He just wanted you to know that.
Or maybe of the whole year.
