“ Jeremy Lin might be the first normal Asian America has seen and it’s fucking great. He’s not famous because he ran around with a rice pecker in the Hangover. He’s not famous because Ari treats him like a Eunuch. Nor is he famous for singing “She Bangs”. He doesn’t have to act a fool to get on TV because he balls so hard mother fuckers can’t find him. Lin is saving the Knicks with super-human play, but he’s dispelling myths about Asian America by being otherwise hyper-normal and I thank him. He doesn’t have a duty to embrace Asian America, speak for Asian America, or represent Asian America because right now he IS Asian America.”

My heart is bursting. I’m grabbing on to this beautiful moment in pop culture and never letting go.

“ Unless somebody was handing out Xanax with the foam fingers, Lucas Oil Stadium was ringing with the music of profanities last night. More to the point, television viewers were submitted to ad after ad that likened women—negatively—to sofas, cars, and candy. Mr. Winter didn’t have anything to say about that, so I’d like to raise both of my middle fingers to him and anyone who thinks profanity is somehow more harmful to our children than images of violence and misogyny.”

“ October 1, 2011 - TAMPA, FL - The Occupy Wall Street movement may have just received an unexpected surprise – United States Army and Marine troops are reportedly on their way to various protest locations to support the movement and to protect the protesters. Army serviceman Ward Reilly posted the following on Facebook: “I’m heading up there tonight in my dress blues. So far, 15 of my fellow marine buddies are meeting me there, also in Uniform. I want to send the following message to Wall St and Congress: I didn’t fight for Wall St. I fought for America.”

I didn’t fight for Wall St. I fought for America.

I don’t even think thats the best line, here’s more of what the Marine said:

My true hope, though, is that we Veterans can act as first line of defense between the police and the protester. If they want to get to some protesters so they can mace them, they will have to get through the Fucking Marine Corps first. Let’s see a cop mace a bunch of decorated war vets.

“ I consider the “Tea Party Movement” to be one of the most brilliant sociological ploys. Perhaps unmatched since a million poor white southern farmers were talked into eagerly and courageously fighting to the death, in order to protect the feudal privileges of a tiny, slave-holding aristocracy. Yes, it is that impressive. Get them to think they are fighting for one thing, while dying for something else. Likewise, by holding up and waving an obsolete and irrelevant old “left-right political-axis,” today’s feudal lords have managed to stir Red America into a frenzy of unparalleled rancor toward every single group or profession that has both knowledge and professional skill — from scientists to teachers, civil servants, academics, medical doctors, attorneys, diplomats, skilled labor… amounting to a “war on smartypants.”
