Few Things

1.) I am really hungover.

2.) I got my first paycheck and:
a) I'm rich!
b) I had to pay 70 bucks in taxes. What the fuck?!

But most importantly, I'm rich!

3.) This guy says it exactly how I wanted to say it, but couldn't:
Back in the day – you know, when presidential candidates were respectably white – news organizations called potential First Ladies “wives.” But now that black folks are running, we can get all funky fresh with the lingo, yo. So it’s basically fine for Fox News to use “Baby Mama” for Michelle Obama, slang that implies a married 44-year-old Princeton-educated lawyer is, to use an Urban Dictionary definition of the term, “some chick you knocked up on accident during a fling who you can’t stand but you have to tolerate cuz she got your baby now.” Because the Obamas are black! And the blacks, they’re all relaxed about that shit, yo. Word up. And anyway, as the caption clearly indicates, it’s not Fox News that’s calling Michelle Obama “Baby Mama,” it’s outraged liberals. Fox News is just telling you what those outraged liberals are saying. They didn’t want to use the term “Baby Mama.” But clearly they had no choice.
4.) I can't believe conservatives are actually bitching about the Supreme Court decision to enforce habeas corpus. Yeah, fuck the foundation for our entire political philosophy -- it doesn't apply to the evildoers! Duh.
