Morrissey likens Norway attacks to McDonald's and... →
Go fuck yourself, douchebag.  I’m going to go find the biggest, juiciest hamburger and eat the shit out of it, just because I know it would make Morrissey cry. What an amazing asshole.

Growing Up Nate: Summer Storms
With the massive heatwave covering over half of our country, there have been quite a few thunderstorms back home on the northern Great Plains. Safe in my enclave here in the Pacific Northwest, I have been free to enjoy the temperate weather and think about the 22 years I spent living with Mother Nature’s violent mood swings and temper tantrums. And the very idea of a summer storm brought...

Past Forward Podcast - First Season Wrapup
I’ve just finished up the final edit on the sixth episode of the Past Forward Podcast, a project that I’ve been working on for the past few months. It will post tomorrow morning. It’s been great so far reconnecting with old friends and talking to them in-depth about everything and nothing all at once. This latest episode features my far-traveling friend, Meredith, who is often...

When Will Our Quirks Line Up?
I’ve been wondering lately when Sara and I will start becoming full shadows of each other. We’ve always had a bit of a sixth sense between us. In college, she had a habit of calling me at the near-exact moment I was picking up the phone to call her. This led to many frustrating instances where I would be calling her as she was calling me, both of us incredulous that the other could...

Utter bullshit. Bruce Feldman is one of the most respected and well-researched writers ESPN has. The guy oozes class and professionalism.

Mitch McConnell: We Must Rewrite The Constitution... →
I’m kind of flummoxed for a response to this. Why does Mitch McConnell hate representative democracy? Just because we elect people who don’t agree with you doesn’t mean that the Constitution needs to be rewritten, Mitch.  Oh yeah, and you look like an owl.

Episode One - Adam Quesnell
My free podcasting host ran out of space and I’m trying not to pay money to host this thing until I become internationally famous for it. This means I need to figure out a new way to host the podcast and get the feed to iTunes that is preferably free.  I have a workaround I’m going to try for the next season of the podcast. Basically going from my Dropbox account to Tumblr to...

Dear Asshole Setting Off Fireworks Before July...
Hi, how are you? Drunk, I’m sure. Drunk, bored and stupid, if I had to venture a complete guess. I’m not sure what else would explain your need to set off random fireworks in the wee hours of the night all weekend leading up to Independence Day. Maybe if you’re an obsessive-compulsive pyromaniac, I’d understand, but I doubt that’s the case.  Seriously, what are you...

Minnesota government shuts down over budget →
Look, I don’t live in Minnesota anymore. I haven’t for over nine years. So I don’t know all of the ins and outs of this shutdown. I don’t know all of the major players and the roles that they played.  But this seems to be the same stance that has been taken in D.C. - no closing of tax loopholes and no increase in taxes for ANYONE, even the super-rich.  How on earth is...
