som3times i f33l lik3 it

Clintonites turned McCainites.

This is bullshit. If you ask me, the Clinton support turned for McCain is fully embellished by the media and to John McCain's obvious advantage. It's all the media talks about and that is McCain's best media coverage since all this mess started. I'm starting to just not believe it. There are probably only a handful of them out there, its just such an outrageous thing, that the media cannot help but talk it up. Who cares!?

Summers almost gone

Who are you anyway?

"The American Apparel V-neck shirt, Pabst Blue Ribbon beer and Parliament cigarettes are symbols and icons of working or revolutionary classes that have been appropriated by hipsterdom and drained of meaning. Ten years ago, a man wearing a plain V-neck tee and drinking a Pabst would never be accused of being a trend-follower. But in 2008, such things have become shameless clichés of a class of individuals that seek to escape their own wealth and privilege by immersing themselves in the aesthetic of the working class."

"We are a lost generation, desperately clinging to anything that feels real, but too afraid to become it ourselves. We are a defeated generation, resigned to the hypocrisy of those before us, who once sang songs of rebellion and now sell them back to us. We are the last generation, a culmination of all previous things, destroyed by the vapidity that surrounds us. The hipster represents the end of Western civilization – a culture so detached and disconnected that it has stopped giving birth to anything new."
