A Forkful of Crow...

Washed down with a swallow of pride.

Sean's Wife Steps In It

For those who can't watch the video, Sean's wife appeared on Fox the other day, discussing Mass Effect, a role-playing game on Xbox 360. She made some disparaging remarks about the game and its harmfulness to adolescents, also admitting that she had never played it herself.

Well.

In retaliation, fans of the game have bombarded Amazon with negative reviews of her book, The Cult of Perfection: Making Peace with Your Inner Overachiever. To give you an idea of the shitstorm she ignited, yesterday morning there were 55 reviews as the smear campaign was ramping up. This morning? 491 and counting. They've even taken to uploading not-very-nice alternate photos of the book, and creating a discussion of the book titled "Cooper Lawrence Is A Stupid Bitch."

I predict Amazon will reset her reviews soon, so you should check it out today.

DeLay Gets Ass Handed To Him By ... Meredith Vieira?

Don't know if anybody saw the interview this morning on Today, but it was beautiful. Meredith Vieira interviewed Tom DeLay about his new book, No Retreat, No Surrender ... Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! ... heh heh ... ha ... HA HA HA HA HA! ... heh heh ... Whoo! Nothing like a good laugh in the morning ...

Anyway, Vieira talked about the book briefly and then raked him over the fucking coals for the remainder of the segment. I haven't seen tap dancing like that since Gregory Hines and Savion Glover faced off at the American Tap Dance Foundation's New York City Tap Festival! DeLay became visibly uncomfortable, and when Vieira asked him who he liked for the Republican primary, in perhaps the most bizarre political non sequitur I've ever heard, he answered that he thought Bush was doing a fine job. (???) She wouldn't even let that go, forcing him to admit that he wouldn't say.

If it pops up on YouTube, I'll post it.

Blogging From Greenwood

So Susan and I are in Greenwood, MS right now, in this weird boutique hotel in the middle of your typical small town Mississippi burg. Seriously, this hotel would be at home in Paris or New York City.

Later, bitches.

Five little squirrels with acorns to store.
One went to sleep and then there were four!
Four little squirrels hunting acorns in a tree.
One fell down, and now there are three!
Three little squirrels wondering what to do.
One got lost, and now there are two!
Two little squirrels tossing acorns for fun.
One got tired, and now there is one!
One little squirrel playing in the sun.
He ran away, now there are none.

Number three, for those keeping score. God, I hate squirrels now.
