I watched Jon Stewart's latest appearance on The O'Reilly Factor today, and O'Reilly referenced Charleston, South Carolina, as a place where Stewart would have to fear, basically, for the safety of his liberal ass. Having lived in Charleston for a few years now, I can say that just doesn't sound right (okay, maybe a few areas after dark in North Chuck, and IOP/Sullivan's Island in broad daylight). I'd also like to point out that Charleston County voted Democratic almost entirely across the board in 2008. The dandy Lindsey Graham and county coroner (obviously a partisan position) were the two exceptions to the trend.

An Avatar review, from the same guy who did the 70 minute Phantom Menace dissertation.

"Once Michael Colquitt arrived to meet his father, he said Joe Colquitt was upset because he wasn't attending church like he should, and at some point alleged the argument came to a head with the pastor pulling out a handgun."

Yet more great press for the fine state of South Carolina.

This is like the grown-up version of the old 80085 joke.

While "Iraqi officials reacted with fury" after this brazen fucking scam was shut down, the devices are still being used.

Update: Here's a longer BBC report.

A development group has proposed building a male counterpart to the Statue of Liberty in Charleston Harbor.

Apparently there's a number for "What the fuck is wrong with you?".

My unemployment beard came off today in anticipation of an in-person interview later this week--best take a few days to even out face tan lines. Here's hoping this slow, boring ordeal comes to a close soon. The first month was awesome, but the last four have been decidedly less so.
