The great Comics Curmudgeon took notice of me! That totally made my day. (Thanks to springheel_jack for pointing it out; I read CC frequently but not regularly and I might have otherwise missed it.) Does this mean that Josh reads mf_roasted?

Also via springheel_jack: Michael Crichton is a dick who can't write and can't take criticism. I heard he also has a tiny penis.

Via threeliesforone: UK unions join the War on Christmas. Solidarity forever and mad props to these folks.

News of the awesome: World's tallest man saves two dolphins. (Hat tip: see_my_glock.) (Much sadder dolphin news.)

Company building a fence to keep undocumented immigrants out gets fined for hiring undocumented immigrants. (Hat tip: seanmonster.)

Yeah, ain't that Michael Crichton a peach? "Oh yeah, criticize me, will ya? Well, I'll just create a character who's a child murderer and name him after you!" You can almost imagine him sticking out his tongue and waving it in Michael Crowley's direction as he was writing.

Crichton is a global warming opponent?!? Holy crap! What a horrendous dork!

Seriousy, I'm quite surprised. Not like I ever admired him or thought he was a particularly good writer, but that's still a surprise to me!

That reminds me of watching Jay Leno once and when they were building another fence on the border and he joked about undocumented worker building the fence.

The news these day is seriously reaching Onion porportions, you can't really tell what is fake and what's real anymore.

What's wrong with them? Are they some kind of communist?

That story about x-mas music...FUCK YEAH! I'm so fuckng tired of listening to 20 versions of jingle bells. The song sucks and will always suck, no matter how many versions of it are recorded.

both carlos mencia and george lopez have bits to the effect of "you want to build a fence between the US and mexico? who do you think is gonna build it?"
