This one has poo in it.

Tonight I was watching the Daily Show, which is one of my favorite programmes, and Jon Stewart was talking to Joe Nocera, a writer at the New York Times. Recently, Nocera wrote an article all about A.I.G.'s major part in the financial meltdown and how it is subsequently being supported by, well, you and me, but officially the government, because all AIG's bad practices have propped up the entire Western banking system on false promises. Just hearing about it made me SO mad I had to go read the article for myself and I think you should, too.

Speaking of a whole bunch of shit, now there's this restaurant, where the food is shaped like poop and comes in a miniature toilet. Great reviews! 

Has anyone else noticed that the Twix "Need a Moment?" commercials are horrible? My feminist ire is raised whenever I see this one

or the one where he's getting home at five in the morning and then pretends he's leaving early for work because of a big presentation, and she's all proud of her man. 

Or the one where he's at a party and asks the political girl to go to his place and she's insulted, and then he says something about blogging and all of a sudden they leave together. Is this a way to sell a candy bar? By peddling patriarchal perceptions about what women want to hear and how quickly they'll be ready to believe it? Well, I don't think so, Twix. This is the 21st century, for God's sake. 

Of course I say that, but we totally did not vote for Hillary. And Obama, just like a man, made the woman a secretary. 

A really, really, extremely important secretary. But still.
