Fox News: Keeping it klassy with a KKK.



Joel McHale had no words either when he aired this on The Soup last night.

For additional perspectives:

Fox News' Kilmeade: We "marry other species," Finns "pure", by Alex Koppelman, Salon.

Brian Kilmeade Would Like Species and 'Ethnics' to Remain Pure, by Richard Lawson, Gawker.

Two things that entertained me this week.

"Dutch" isn't veg-friendly, by anna on Sepia Mutiny:

...me: How was dinner?

she: Can I vent?

me: But of course, my little cabbage!

she: I got robbed.

me: OMG, you got mugged???

she: Noooo. I mean…when the bill came.

me: I don’t get it.

she: Of course you do, you’re veg, too.

me: Oh, THAT-a-way

she: Yes. That. A. Way. Not a damned vegetarian entree on the menu AND everyone I was with obviously ordered seafood— not just any seafood…the market-rate stuff.

me: Ah, that which has no price listed.

she: EXACTLY!

me: Ouch.

she: That’s not even the worst of it! You know how I don’t drink??

me: Yeah…?

she: Well, everyone else more than made up for it. 3-4 each.

me: Wow, so you-

she: Subsidized a bunch of fish and vodka. What I ordered came to all of $25 WITH tax and a 20% tip…what I PAID was $72.

me: Sigh. Well, you made the birthday girl happy by being there.

she: True. But, I COULD HAVE GIVEN HER THE $50. Then she’d be happy and I wouldn’t feel so damned ripped-off.

Stop smirking, dear readers. You know you’ve had that EXACT conversation with one of your friends...

In fairly unrelated news:

Question: When is it appropriate to wear a tube top in the workplace?

My Answer: Never. I don't care how casual the office is.

Your thoughts?
