Jesus. I have GOT to get cable.
This is why I think that “The Daily Show” is the best show on television. Why can’t the “real news” call BS like this?This is way, way, way, way, way too good not to reblog.

Americans have an unhealthy desire to see average people promoted to positions of great authority. No one wants an average neurosurgeon or even an average carpenter, but when it comes time to vest a man or woman with more power and responsibility than any person has held in human history, Americans say they want a regular guy, someone just like themselves. President Bush kept his edge on the “Who would you like to have a beer with?” poll question in 2004, and won reelection.
This is one of the many points at which narcissism becomes indistinguishable from masochism. Let me put it plainly: If you want someone just like you to be president of the United States, or even vice president, you deserve whatever dysfunctional society you get. You deserve to be poor, to see the environment despoiled, to watch your children receive a fourth-rate education and to suffer as this country wages — and loses — both necessary and unnecessary wars.

I grew up watching my Dad do it and I thought it was normal. I was embarrassed of my bitten nubs while I was growing up, and even as I became a teenager, I wouldn’t hold hands with a boy because I didn’t want him to notice. I stopped biting my nails about two years ago and have kept them polished for that entire time.
Today, I fell off the wagon. Fuck.
You must have the most boring tumblr ever created. you write about shit that NO ONE gives two shits about and yet you just keep blabbering that fat mouth of yours like it matters. Why don’t you do something interesting and then write about THAT for once. Do you realize you just actually a paragraph about BITING YOUR NAILS!?!?!?
What’s the most boring thing? Reading about somebody biting their nails or reading about somebody having nothing better to do but bitching about that person?
We shall now wait for the headline “Palin: In Comparison”.
