You know who's also getting buried in Obama t-shirts?

People who sell Obama t-shirts.

I like Ben, but that list was just plain excruciating in its stupidity.

Any list of overrated directors must begin with Robert Altman.

Great point about the faux-populist mythology around Springsteen, the whole hardbitten desperate soulful small-town hero affectation. The funny thing I've observed is that Springsteen mainly appeals to upper middle class suburban NPR boomers. Yep, they love all them songs about down-n-out unemployed haunted-by-Nam factory workers; it's the real life versions they can't stand.

Those little people Springsteen sings about? They're listening to Motorhead and ACDC.

Angelina, it's long past time for you dump that deadend husband of yours. Girl, you need a conservative man who will appreciate you for the fine stone cold fox you are. A man who will treat you to the finer things in life, like fine $8 wines and Jagermeister. A man who is known as Iowahawk.

Do you crave romance? Enter my lust upholstered Econoline of Love, and you will discover why the Mexicans refer to velour as el fabrico del amor Let me explore your erogenous zones under my van's erotic lava lamp, and together we will abandon ourselves to a wild 3-minute marathon of passion.

Girl, let Iowahawk show you a conservative man will treat you with respect. I insist that we keep our money together in a joint checking account, to show we our equals in this relationship. And while you are off at the studio filming, I promise to yell at the maids to pick up my empties. Because this is the kind of man Iowahawk is.

Are you ready for that upgrade, Angelina? Don't be afraid, call me.

PS -- call before 10 pm, that's lockdown time at the halfway house

McCarthy didn't elaborate on the disaster in the book. Whether it was an asteroid or nuclear war doesn't really matter, because it was incidental its central moral theme of the man's struggle to maintain his individual humanity.

The most haunting bit of the book was the man's realization that as the human race was dying, so were the abstractions of the human mind... memories, words, language itself.

The thinking man's "2012."

It's not that I disagree with who's on the list, it's who they left off:

Sandra Bernhart
Louie Anderson
Margaret Cho
Janeane Garofalo

In what universe are any of the above funny?

Not sure if it's the worst song of all time (I believe the title belongs to "Seasons in the Sun" by Terry Jacks) but a schmaltzy bongload of delusional hippie bullshit all the same. Arguably the worst song by a member of the Beatles, though some might cite "Ebony and Ivory."

Lennon earns some redemption with an earlier "message" song:

Let me tell you how it will be
It's one for you, nineteen for me

'Cause I'm the Taxman
Oooh yeah, I'm the Taxman
