The Meth Minute was one of my favorite internet-based series before cartoonist Dan Meth moved onto bigger and better things. Here’s a short piece relaying the dangers of doing your taxes while on psychedelics.

I think most people know that freecreditreport.com masquerades as a free services while signing you up for a credit card ding every month for a special “monitoring” plan. But few people sing about it…

Timeless.

No wonder the economy is stagnating. Literally nothing is happening, everywhere. Here’s Fox New’s lead story today:

But I’ll have you know that I scooped ’em. I was reporting on this very topic over FIVE YEARS AGO, albeit in China.

Here’s some footage of an unusually jubilant Storm Trooper the day after Lando, Wedge, and company destroyed the second Death Star.

Internet cartoonist, Dan Meth, created this chart of movie trilogy relative goodness.

Ifilm is reporting today that Johnny Depp will portray the immortal Hunter Thompson as a young, insanity-prone journalist making his way as a writer in 1950s San Juan.

A very, very exciting prospect. Fans of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas will recall Depp’s uncanny ability to inhabit the world of Raoul Duke. Even though this bears some of the stink of the Hollywood Prequel Bandwagon, I can’t criticize anyone willing to share more tales of Dr. Gonzo.

Get your day-glo vests and buckshot ready, it’s Fat Cat Season.

Average Americans, armed with incendiary e-mails and blog commentaries are actually beginning to affect Business As Usual. An op-ed from yesterday’s NYT documents the new populist fervor.
