Let it never be said that McMegan lacks perspective. Unfortunately that perspective is the one that comes from having your head planted firmly deep up your ass.

This is the kind of McTrauma endured by a classmate of one of my sons, when she dropped her iPod down the toilet in the girls’ bathroom. Yes, her parents used the words “traumatized” to describe their daughter’s ordeal!

I hope that McTrauma doesn’t choose this as her theme song:

Poor Tom Petty!

Hmmph! I came back to look at the pic of Beckham and I get Megan McCurdle.

Way to make my eyes bleed, TBogg.

(In this recession, why are assholes still being paid to type their gibberish?)

That McArdle is still being paid is a sure sign that the economy has not completely collapsed – or that she can suck the chrome off of a trailer hitch.

Hmmm. I guess “suffering” is an elastic concept, a sliding scale where the worst suffering an arrogant, privileged upper-class college educated white american goes through in the course of her busy SHOPPING schedule is exactly the same as that of a Darfuri or Somali or Pakistani or Sri Lankan desperately poor, sick and starving refugee.

That the political oppression of the opposition in Iran is exactly the same as being a rich white american minority legislator. In fact that very legislator can readily identify with oppressed peoples all over the globe and support their courageous fight for independence and recognition. Oh. Unless they are Palestinians. Then they’re terrorist scum…

Don’t forget August J. Pollak’s cartoon.

Hmmm. The link is not working. Google Megan McArdle xoverboard to find the cartoon.

There was a great band in Austin in the 80s called Terminal Mind. Unfortunately, their big single, ‘Refugee’ is pre-YouTube. It was fucking great. Far better than anything McArdle could ever produce.

Pity there isn’t an iPhone app that install a soul in the user.

she can suck the chrome off of a trailer hitch.

I thought Megan was German:

FAMOUS ACCORDION PLAYERS, $60 (Daily Double): This German baroness could suck the chrome off a fender.

I’ll take “lips that could suck the chrome off a trailer hitch for $1000, Alex!”

Most Americans are either too stupid, or too absorbed with hanging onto all of their toys to realize that the economy really has tanked, but the only thing holding it together is our collective inertia.

Thatz a Shankbone pic of gf.

Nice fit.

I think I’m beginning to get conservative humor. You say something absolutely appalling and then laugh when those silly people with “souls” react with horror and disgust. What a hoot!

I do not read McArdle because I don’t want to curdle the few braincells I have left, so please tell me she was kidding. PLEASE.

I had lunch ten minutes late today…and I imagine that’s what it feels like to starve to death.
