Took a couple weeks off at the climax of the campaign, because honestly, it was purge-overdrive.  Now you might think that the election results would leave me nothing to gripe about, but I'm not that easy.  We could still purge:

Gloating.  Congratulations, now get to work.

"Mallard Fillmore."  What a stroke of genius—a right-wing agitprop-spewing duck!  It's only in most of the papers that carry it to provide the illusion of balancing out "Doonesbury," which is actually kind of funny sometimes. I rarely read the funny pages, but whenever I do, "Mallard Fillmore" jumps out at me with its crude drawings and endless recapitulation of coarse, mean-spirited rightwing dogma.  Should be a dog instead of a duck.

AnF wannabes wearing their baseball caps all askew.  I was walking around the Northeastern campus recently, and all the young dudes were wearing their ball caps off to the side like they do now. 

You thought it was bad when everyone started wearing their caps backwards.  Well, now it's even worse. 

Listen.  As a rule, if Vanilla Ice does it, whatever it is, you want to kind of avoid it if you can.  If Vanilla Ice and KFed both do it, just don't.  It's that easy.

There's something about the whole baseball cap phenomenon that bugs me anyway.  It's kind of adolescent for grown men to wear a cap everywhere they go in the first place, and then to wear it askew, well, it might be cute on a little kid, but on an adult it's retahded.

To recap.  Cute:

I'll let that sink in, and see you next at next week's Purge.
