Andy made a short promo for Shut Up,Weirdo. Share the joy.
Dear authors,
cajunboy:
Here’s how you don’t handle an unflattering review of your work, FYI.

Andy Breckman does stand-up in a 9th Avenue bar after the March 23 broadcast of Seven Second Delay. And look: there’s Andy Cohen in the front row, standing next to Station Manager Ken (at the 10:00 mark). Frangry wanted to be there, but had a pressing engagement in Norfolk, Va.
We got out of Canada just in time.

TPM: James O’Keefe asks supporters for $50,000 to pay off credit card debt.
A real conservative would be ashamed to go around asking for handouts. Hey, where’s my tote bag, NPR? I couldn’t run my household with that kind of borrow and spend thinking. Get a job, you hippie.

Uhmmm, yea…
Is this… a joke? I have no words.
It’s a joke, but not a funny one. Roby is real, HR 205 is not. What she did to deserve such obloquy, I don’t know. Hey, HuffPo, you need a better comedy editor.
George Monbiot: Why Fukushima made me pro nukes →

It’s hopelessly inefficient and poorly matched to the pattern of demand. Wind power in populated areas is largely worthless.

The 20: Subway Snacking. Courtney Reimer talks with Tom Llamas about subway eating etiquette.
Wow, what a sucky answer (i.e., non-answer) to a simple question. Good thing she wasn’t asked about the Libyan intervention or the wisdom of nuclear energy. “But if it comes to that, I guess it does.” What? (P.S., I’m pro-ban.)

It’s a bit of March Madness over at AOL headquarters! The internet giant has started to shut down many of its content sites. Among them is Urlesque (Pronounced ‘earl,’ as in My Name Is Earl, Mondays at 10 on TBS very funny). Urlesque was best known for their comprehensive…
