We Need a Department of Shame, and Steve Bartman is the Man to Lead It For the last 23 years the world's most notorious Cubs fan has lived as a recluse, but now his country needs him.

When I'm President, the first thing I'll do is pardon Tate George for stealing money from Brevin Knight. Then I'll go scorched-earth bringing shame back with the help of Secretary Steve Bartman.

Deadspin | I Fucking Live For Haunting Covers Of Literally Any Song In Movie Trailers Deadspin | I Fucking Live For Haunting Covers Of Literally Any Song In Movie Trailers

Agreed, but I have to say I'm getting a little fatigued when it comes to haunting/eccentric versions of Everybody Wants to Rule the World being used in movie trailers. I have no empirical evidence of this, but anecdotally it feels like it happens a lot.

I'd be interested in reading something smart (not reactionary) about how the Haka gets appropriated in popular culture.

Upon Review, It Looks Like President Nyarlathotep’s Small Business Soul Harvest Is Technically Against the Rules β€œThe Supreme Court dealt a major blow to President Trump’s economic policy on Friday, ruling that he had exceeded his authority when he imposed tar...

"With all due respect to President Nyarlathotep, we do not believe the Necro-Administration's contention that 'Phantom Warlocks Only We Can See' was reason enough to initiate multiple soul harvest taxes directed at small business owners."

Really the only thing keeping me β€œonline” these days is that I feel a responsibility to my students to know who people like Josh Pate are, and yet I have no idea who Josh Pate is.

At a recent appearance the President said that β€œa big, very powerful sports blogger told me he wished he could kiss me because my tariffs had helped so much.” I’m not saying he was talking about you, but care to comment?

Speaking of photo-negatives, Steve Bartman is sort of that for the current regime. A single, totally understandable, lapse in judgement and he basically banished himself from society forever. Steve Bartman, Secretary of Shame in the Elrick Administration.

I like to think I’d be a more principled chief executive than Trump, but there would be some version of this with me. Working hard everyday for the American people, but also putting on a lavish ceremony officially absolving Leon Durham of responsibility for the Cubs failing to make the WS in β€˜84.

I once had a girlfriend from Shaker Heights, Ohio and that place had a really high per capita celebrity rate if memory serves.
