Oh My God Glenn Beck Was Right

Seriously, doesn't Obama have advisors to make sure he avoids this kind of stuff? (WARNING: The linked story contains some spoilers if you aren't caught up through season five of "LOST," although the quote below is safe.)

TV viewers want President Obama to get “Lost” [see what they did there?—J] after reports that the State of the Union address may be moved to Feb. 2. No one seems to have told the White House that the highly anticipated premiere of "Lost’s" last season (according to ABC) is set for the same date.

I am deeply concerned sniff about the direction our country is going. Despite my right eye's efforts to hold it back, a single tear emerges. I mean, after that inverted closing title, anything could happen. And the floodgates are open. And we're just letting some guy who is racist against whites, Australians, Koreans, Iraqis and Others TAKE IT AWAY FROM US? My wet, bloodshot eyes ignite with crazed fire. AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO NOTICES THESE THINGS??!???!??!!!

This raises an even deeper issue: Is there anything that could justifiably preempt the LOST season six premiere? I mean, if aliens attacked the world killed 500 million people, then it might be worth considering a postponem—nah, nevermind.

Papyrus Speaks!

The font Papyrus has written an open letter to the director who elevated it to an all-purpose font. From main titles to subtitles, I think we all now know where to go first for our typographic needs.

Goodness knows I’ve worked hard the past 26 years to make a name for myself. And it’s felt great coming to the aid of New Age spa owners, suburban party planners, and young couples looking to save money by making their own wedding invitations. But only now, by appearing in your movie, have I been given mainstream, high-level recognition as a serious typeface. And for that, I thank you.

Read the whole thing. (Tip: Jim Emerson)
