Our Lewd and Savor


“The Power of Crap compels you!"

"The Power of Crap compels you!”


So if I’m reading my rate card correctly, some bottom-dwelling pervert has now been comped a trans Pacific plane ride -- business class with champers -- and a "Get Out Of Thai Jail Free" card.

In exchange for which -- for a solid week -- a sizeable slab of the media was spared the skull-sweat and shoe leather of reporting on actual news and instead got to run B-roll of JBR kiddie softcore, jerk off all over itself and call some freak by an ominous middle name that I guarantee no one has used since his mommy caught him torturing a hamster when he was 11.

In other words, the perfect value-for-value proposition in a WalMarted media world where the "marketplace of ideas" has devolved into a tabloid-grade monopsony.

Man, that's a creepy work of art.

Entirely appropriately, I mean.

The ultimate was last night, when MSNBC declared the Killer wasn't, after all, and unabashedly made THAT that top story.

Did they figure out the mystery of the missing white girl in Aruba yet?

OK, this is the reason why I can't read more than one Driftglass post a day. He'd be up on murder charges after my fatal asphyxiation from laughter.

Take a break, dear DG. I'll tackle Bobo for you today. After all, someone has to after the doozy he'd crapped all over the Gray Lady today.

You...got IT!

Now I hopes they STFU.

I KNOW that's really too much to expect...but if wishes were horses(asses) they'd all be blowing it out theirs.
