Tragedy vs. Shame

Let’s make this very clear.

Amy Winehouse’s death is a shame. Should she have died at 27? No, but it also isn’t surprising.

Norway’s situation is a tragedy. We’re talking 92 people dead (most of them youth) in a country whose population is lower than some U.S. states.

Any questions?

Attention Washington

I don’t give a flying [insert word] whose idea the debt ceiling plan is. In fact, John Boehner and Mitch McConnell had better not get too close to me because I will dopeslap both of them. (I would anyway if I came into contact with either, but those two are being especially stupid right now.) Pretend you like each other and come up with a plan. Mark my words: if a plan isn’t reached and we default, THE ENTIRE HOUSE and 1/3 of the Senate will be out of a job in 2012.

Why is it so freaking impossible for y’all to actually, like, WORK together?
