Baltimore is the weirdest city on the planet. Between Edgar Allen Poe, Frank Zappa and Dan Deacon, it’s gonna be hard to take the weird outta that city.

One of my first dates with a witch was on a satanic altar, and I didn’t know it. I mean, there’s little blood there and stuff like that. We went to a movie and then had a midnight picnic on a satanic altar.
Uh, what? Look Greenpeace, we know you guys are the environmental version of PETA and stuff, but come on. The broadsided attack on Zuckerberg was kinda douchey and other companies are doing way worse than the Zuck. At least “The Social Network” will have a Trent Reznor soundtrack. This just seems like an organization attempting to stay relevant. source
What if [Obama] is so outside our comprehension, that only if you understand Kenyan, anti-colonial behavior, can you begin to piece together [his actions]? That is the most accurate, predictive model for his behavior.
Newt Gingrich • Saying something so insane that we don’t even understand the point he was going for. “Kenyan, anti-colonial behavior”? How? What is he doing that you have to bring his ethnicity into the fold? Dave Weigel’s headline for this nugget, which he posted over the weekend, is “What Was Newt Gingrich Talking About?” We don’t think anyone can figure it out. Robert Gibbs tries, but he doesn’t get all the way there. source
Remember Spacehog? Well, they kinda disappeared quick after “In the Meantime” made them famous for 15 minutes (too bad because we really dug it back in the day), but the guitarist of this band, Antony Langdon, just showed up in the most random place ever – Joaquin Phoenix’s bizarre new documentary, “I’m Still Here.” Langdon was one of Phoenix’s assistants, something of Phoenix’s “Johnny Drama.” Langdon he earned his keep with some very embarrassing, humiliating scenes (yes, there’s nudity – and more!). New York Magazine has more. source
I had to use my sister’s BlackBerry to make a call, and I just kept swiping and touching. It didn’t even occur to me to use the keyboard.
iPhone nut Susannah Wijsen • On being forced to use a BlackBerry at some point and not knowing what the heck to do. Uh, really? We don’t think that someone who works in advertising in San Francisco could make a mistake like that, but whatever it takes to push forward this NYT story about how people love touch screens. source
