I’m not one to get political on the internet but today I read this article on The Huffington Post about Sarah Palin being a jackass on her TLC show & being like “Michelle Obama won’t let us eat dessert!” or some shit. Apparently, last month she was on Laura Ingraham’s radio program & said the following:
“Instead of a government thinking that they need to take over and make decisions for us according to some politician or politician’s wife priorities, just leave us alone, get off our back.”
Funny you say that, Sarah,
because it looks like maybe
we have something in common just yet!
I don’t want politicians making decisions for me either!
It’s funny because it looks like you care about dessert like I care about my rights as a woman to have an abortion or the right my friends have to get married as homosexuals. Funny, huh? How no one can tell you you should cut back on dessert to help fight childhood obesity, yet you are so fucking entitled you think you can tell people what they can & can’t do with their bodies or who they can or can’t love. It’s great that since your priority is a completely misconstrued interpretation of the Bible, you have to push that on me. I love being told that laws should be built on a religion I don’t believe in. That’s great.
Keep eating your dessert, you stupid, bitch-ass bigot.
Last night, Voxhaul Broadcast was supposed to play at the Prospector in Long Beach. The Silent Comic played but I wasn’t really listening. Although, I did take the time to Twitter about how they looked like they were about to go mine some gold, 1895-esque alt-rock. Apparently, it was during this time that the sound dude began to stir some pots, hassling all the bands and being a general douchebag. The Union Line were awesome but they were also having some issues with the sound dude. Then up goes Voxhaul Broadcast. A quarter way into their first song, David’s vocals are turned off and the sound dude flips him off.
David Dennis is by far the most docile and even-keeled man I’ve ever known.
And to see him throw down his guitar, storm to the back of the room and punch the sound dude in the face was absolutely unexpected and shocking.
Everyone rushes to the back of the room. I’m by the bar still when I hear the bartender on his cell phone talking to the guy who I imagine owns the place, “He was being a dick… Flipped off the band and turned off their vocals… The singer punched him… Yeah, he deserved it…”
DUH.
Well played, Davey.
In other news Voxhaul news, new live tracks have been posted up on surrge.com.
I highly suggest grabbing “She’s the Breeze”. It reminds me of a dreamscape, that I should be falling in love and dancing in a taffeta and tulle prom dress. I’d be walking with some sweetheart under arches of bogenvia and then he’d totally kiss me and then, liiiike, we’d totally fall in love.
Oh, I totally figured it out ! The beginning of the song reminds me of the song “Love” when Robin Hood and Maid Marion are running around in Sherwood Forest in Disney’s EPIC animated adaptation.
Sarah Palin Slated For SNL
Reported by People
The Republican vice presidential candidate – and Tina Fey’s alter ego – will appear on Saturday Night Live this weekend with guest host Josh Brolin, the McCain-Palin campaign has confirmed…
In an interview with PEOPLE for next week’s issue, it was hard to tell whether the Palins are still laughing along with Fey. When a reporter noted that Fey plays the vice presidential candidate as bubble-headed, Sarah retorted: “That’s funny, I kind of play her bubble-headed, too, when I imitate her.”
Chimes in husband Todd Palin about his wife: “She’s been impersonating Tina Fey longer than Tina Fey’s been doing Sarah Palin.”
I hope they have her and Tina as twins. Tina will be the good twin trying to help the people of the United States, thinking about the majority of the citizens that can’t afford to have tanning beds installed in their Governor mansions. The citizens that couldn’t even afford to have a Trig baby if they wanted because they don’t have the money for health insurance. And Sarah will be herself: an ignorant, vacuous, nonsensical sentence spewing, polar bear killing, average joe of a “mav’rick”.
And hey, Sarah, YOU’RE NOT FUNNY.
And neither is your husband.
You’re not the Ricardos and you’re not fit to run my country.
GO HOME.
RockersNYC Interview with Mikey Rocks
I first read about The Cool Kids in Spin back in February that focused on the insurgence of music coming out of Chicago. Since then, the group has been touring with MIA as well as their music being featured on Entourage and in Mountain Dew commercials (oooh la la!).
Katie Gets First Dibs on H&M New Line
Comme des Garçons designed a line for H&M, which isn’t scheduled for shopping until November thirteenth. The line for H&M actually reminds me a bit of Christian Siriano’s line with pieces like this:
BITCH PLEASE !!!
What are you doing ?! You can bear the expenses of Comme des Garçons ! In fact, you can afford everything I love. So please, keep wearing Marc Jacobs and Luella Bartley. Throw on some Stella McCartney and Chanel and keep me green with envy from behind my US Weekly. But give us a break- Give us H&M ! I know being the beard to this TomKat fiasco can’t be easy but take it in stride. I mean, you are married to your high school dreamboat Maverick with the cutest child ever created (in a lab) in a Scientologist backed compound. Life cannot be as bad as it is for say… 98% of the country.
Kthanksloveyabye.
Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist
Saw it, loved it, think about MC while listening to Devendra Banhart and using my rabbit.
Heh… jokes !
Err… Sort of…
The drunk girl, Ari Graynor, was awesome. Kat Dennings and Michael Cera were (from what I’ve seen) Kat Dennings and Michael Cera. But good for them. Carve out your niche and then branch out, that’s how it works in Hollywood. Go talk to Jim Carrey about it. He knows what’s up.
The only part I thought was lame was when she was supposedly orgasming. I would love to think that MC is that talented with his hands but c’mon. She was faking it. No one gets off in thirty seconds with an index finger unless you’re the Midas of vag or you’re doing it yourself. Sorry…
Or maybe I just hang around the wrong seventeen year old boys ?
When I was eighteen, my father told me if I didn’t vote for Republican I would basically be excommunicated and be left to rot in a gutter somewhere without even a chance of a college education, health insurance or a couple bucks for a dime sack.
I somehow survived the whole ordeal without being quartered or tarred & skittled and over the course of the next four years decided that partisan politics is a joke. It’s not about being “left” or “right” or even “wrong”, for that matter. It’s a matter of knowing what you believe in. Realistically, I don’t think many people fit into either “right” or “left” peg. There are things I am conservative about, there are things I am liberal about. It is unfortunate we have to try to squeeze everything we want into a single person, who also has beliefs and ideals that probably don’t match up completely to anyone. My heart goes out to all of those who can’t see anything in terms other that “right” and “left” or “black” and “white”. True empathy and love for humanity comes in seeing the world in all its colors and directions. We all didn’t have the same parents. We all didn’t come from the ‘burbs. We all didn’t believe in Jesus or L. Ron Hubbard or John Lennon. The reason the world is so wonderful and such a creative, vibrant and progressive place is because we all are different. It is something to embrace, not try to change. When you are secure in your own beliefs, you won’t need to push them on anyone else.
I am voting for Obama because McCain is not offering me anything more than what we’ve had for the past eight years- which OBVIOUSLY has worked out reeeeeeeeally well. I’m voting for Obama because I am Pro-Choice. Because just “abstinence” doesn’t work (just ask Bristol Palin… or, say, the other 79% of young women also having sex out of wedlock). Because stem-cell research could save lives. Because drug users belong in rehab, not in prison. Because teaching Creationism in schools tramples over what our country (supposedly) stands for. Because I don’t support the war. Because I think we deserve better health care. Because these are things I BELIEVE IN.
It has nothing to do with anything but what I think is best for the people I am surrounded by everyday- the citizens of this country, including myself.
I’m not forcing anyone to agree with me. I’m not making anyone read this. I primarily write about indie rock bands and galavanting in Echo Park… what the hell do I even know? It’s simply what I want from our government. And there are plenty of people who want the same things. If our opinions differ, go read about how John and Sarah are the next political messiahs and don’t waste your time. The links to those sites… I couldn’t find them nor would I be interested in supplying them. BUT ! I do have these for you…
“She should have Henry Kissinger babysitting her.”
That would be notoriously staunch republican, Ben Stein, on Palin.
Or check out this hilarious clip from The Daily Show which exemplifies the hypocrisy that runs ramped through the republican campaign (and I’m sure all campaigns, I know, don’t worry you don’t need to leave me a rude comment, it’s cool).
What is hilarious is the amount of traffic my one silly post about the Palins’ names is getting. Right now, today, it has had about FOUR THOUSAND hits. I know ! I don’t get it either. I’m hoping this post will get as much traffic because I think everyone who is reading this right now should go to a site that is actually funny and time was truly spent thinking about the efflorescent, splendiferous Sarah Palin.
McCain’s vp choice is basically unheard of and a mere spec in politics. Although, she did seize second place in the Nineteen Eighty-Four Miss Alaska Pageant.
What is more strange than McCain’s less-than-experienced candidate choice (it’s her first term serving as Alaska’s governor), Sarah Palin, are the names of the five Palin children: nineteen year old Track, seventeen year old Bristol, fourteen year old Willow, seven year old Piper, and the baby Trig.
What, are we naming kids after our favorite high school subjects? Trees? I mean, there was a time I could say the ugliest name for a child would have to be Gertrude or Gaylord or something but now it could be anything. Like “4Real”. Yes, a couple in New Zealand tried to name their child 4Real and it was banned. Other names banned around the world include:
New Zealand: Names starting with a numeral Malaysia: Hokkien Chinese Ah Chwar (Snake), Khiow Khoo (Hunchback), Woti (Sexual intercourse), no animals, insects, fruit, vegetables, numbers (007) or colours as names, no royal or honorary titles or Japanese cars as names Cantonese: Chow Tow (Smelly head), Sor Chai (Insane) Malaysia’s Tamil Community: Karrupusamy (Black god) Germany: Hitler, Stalin, Osama bin Laden, Invented and androgynous names
Probably the worst I’ve heard are the products of Frank Zappa which include: Dweezil, Ahmet Emuukha Rodan, Moon Unit and DIVA THIN MUFFIN PIGEEN.
In light of this, I decided to share with you all my future baby names.
Here they are:
Jam Ross, Cute Town USA, Mint Teal Sugarpants, Sassafrass Sweetpea, Stella Artois Striped Polo, John Hunter Larry David, Bosco, Pozitiv Vibez, Marissa 2.0 and Fellini Cobbler… Word.

Anyway, I'm Marissa A. Ross, a writer who graduated from acting school to make a living as an internet addict. Just another American Dream, drinking too much & putting shit on the internet.
I also dig music, which makes me really original.
You can also catch me at Hello Giggles, where I write things that might make you think I'm not a such jackass.
never plan your whole week around a 79° day to tan your ass in february. it'll be 72° & your courtyard will be shady. :( #californiaproblems21 hours ago
