Obviously
I’m toying with the idea of watching the second season debut of Jersey Shore, after recommendations from certain aficionados of trash TV (I didn’t see any of the first season). Apparently, there will be some discussion of federal tax policy:
There are the occasional, oblique references to the cast members’ new off-camera fame. For instance, Snooki’s bonding with Sen. John McCain over their opposition to the tanning-bed tax that emerged from the healthcare-reform effort. McCain—who, ironically, has been outspoken about skin-cancer prevention after a bout with melanoma—tweeted his support for Snooki after she criticized the tax in a preview of season two. And here Snooki tells us why she (despite pulling in an estimated $10,000 an episode, with a hefty raise coming) has been economically driven to mere spray-tanning:
I don’t go tanning tanning anymore because Obama put a 10 percent tax on tanning. I feel like he did that intentionally for us. McCain never would have put a 10 percent tax on tanning, because he’s pale and he would probably want to be tan. Obama doesn’t have that problem. Obviously.
She’s trying to be classy.
If only the same could be said for McCain.
Ah McCain. Is there any position you won’t ditch like a crippled, suddenly overweight wife?
Yes my friend, killing brown people. I like that one.

Incoming for (skankwad) SEK: ‘Scott Eric Kaufman — An English Professor Who Doesn’t Know Sh*t About English’.
Shorter Amerineocon: SEK misspelled a word. Therefore, he doesn’t understand English.
Seriously, dude, even by your standard, that’s some weak shit.
Looks to me like Americaneocon just wanted to go an rant about people with Ph.D.s and was looking for any excuse to do it.
Er, make that “a rant”. There, I corrected myself.
Well no it should be “and”. But I think this proves the self-correcting nature of the blogosphere right?
Yes. Even Ph.D.s need it sometimes.
I can’t decide which is more pathetic: if you’re actually serious, or if you’re trolling.
Donald is doing both. If you had Donald’s Machiavellian elan, you could do both as well.
Win!
Skankwad? And yet you’re afraid to put the “i” in “shit”?
Man, I gotta get me some o’ that graduate schoolin’. Learn all kinds of stuff there…but on the other hand, I already know how to write like an eighth grader.
Anything for a page hit, eh, brah? Sorry.

Pasty pissants who blame me for failing to choose my parents prudently for their wealth can’t complain when I blame them for failing to choose their parents more wisely for melanin.
Is it my imagination, or has Boehner had himself dyed to match Principal Skinner? http://paceni.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/skinnerpointing.gif
It would look pretty bad if McCain and Snookie didn’t support eachother even though their 2008 campaign for the presidency failed.
