I look forward to watching this. I do hope you address all these "butt maggot" accusations.
-
I'm not a butt maggot. I'm you.
-
Maybe we are all butt maggots now.
-
Certainly would explain a lot about myself.
-
These things would be better if they paired people who have fundamental disagreements.
Like Matt and any opinion writer from the NYT.
Now, that would be must-see.
-
We have plenty, but the news topics of the week shoehorned a lot of agreement.
-
Bloggingheads videos are too damn long. Break them up in to discrete chucks based on narrow topics. Watching two people talk into XBOX headsets for an hour would test the patience of a dime-store mannequin.
-
What if they're both hot chicks?
-
Talking about dealing with yeast infections while on their periods?
-
Dude, why ruin it.
-
We know you got your redwings. Don't try and front.
-
Yeah, that was wrong.
-
Oh yeah, and the rent is too damn high.
-
You watch these? I treat them like a radio show while I'm washing dishes or playing flash games.
-
If you go to the Bloggingheads page for the video, they chop it up into segments.
-
I always feel like it's a betrayal to navigate away from Hit & Run.
-
@ around 8:40, "the clientology -- the climatology community..."
Yah, yah, meaningless, but nevah zi lezz, I lol-ed.
-
I'm not about to watch that.
Why the fuck does Greenwald live in Brazil?
I know for a fact that as fucked up as we understand the encroachments of our civil liberties here in the US, they're not even on the radar of fucked upedness in comparison to Brazil.
-
Why the fuck does Greenwald live in Brazil?
The boys.
-
The bit about the MSM was pretty interesting.
