Poor Rudy

Newsflash to the rest of the country: Everybody in New York hates this guy. Everybody.

Not only does the New York Times have up, today, a blistering account of his exploits reviling and ridiculing people on his radio show during his time as mayor. Not only does said article document several incidents where, in the course of yelling inappropriately at people, he takes firm stands 180 degrees away from the far-right pandering he's engaged in now. ("It really is absolutely astounding that the N.R.A. continues to have influence in areas in which they make no sense at all.”)

But this is the photo they ran with the article:



Poor Rudy. No friends in New York.

Loss For Words

I just received this email:


What can I say on the Anniversary Wall? Any ideas?

If, instead of giving your great ideas to me, you want to spread the message of how the Presidential Prayer team has drawn you closer to the Lord, here's the link.

But let us know what you said.

Also: I've been wondering what will happen to the Presidential Prayer Team if a Democrat gets in. Will they keep praying for the President?

"My Proposed New Benchmarks For Iraq"

Do You Dare...Meet Him...?

Another Peyer classic!

A Tom Peyer Classic!!

Go here for the whole thing!

Cruel! Unusual! Peyer! Delano! McCrea!

Out tomorrow: The all-new Desperado edition of CRUEL AND UNUSUAL, a truly vile graphic novel written by Tom "SuperFranken- stein" Peyer and Jamie "Occasional Bear & Meat" Delano, and drawn by John "filthy Irishman" McCrea.

This was pretty disgusting when I first published it at Vertigo, and I doubt it's gotten any better. A nice little family tale about a Florida prison turned into a reality TV show, with typically tasteful McCrea art.

Really, if you value your Christian soul, don't buy it. Just watch General Petraeus instead and write down everything he says.

"They have to paint me red before they chop me. It's a different religion from ours. I think."

I just watched Help! on YouTube, thanks to a Metafilter thread that links to every Beatles movie there, all of them complete except for Let It Be. Go before they take them down.

Awwww, Cute!
