Winning the Nobel Prize is a Dreaded Curse Inflicted Upon You By Satan

Let me explain to you what happens when you win the Nobel Peace Prize.

First, whatever country you live in is invaded by pirates and lemurs. The lemurs eat all the candy and the pirates pillage eight random cities every day.

This morning, when Obama got the phone call letting him know he'd won the Nobel Prize, the pirates were already descending on Detroit, Topeka, Springfield, Springfield, Springfield, Boston, Tallahassee, and Cheyenne.

(The Springfields were in different states, obvi.)

Once the lemurs and the pirates are done, you break out in boils, and then one eyeball turns a different color, which sounds pretty tame, except the color it turns is Horse Manure Brown.

Your wife goes from being a hottie to looking like the Cryptkeeper.

Toni Morrison shows up at your house and reads "Jazz" to you backwards, and if you thought that novel was impossible forwards, just you wait.

Oprah stops returning your phone calls, and tells people she's "like, so over you."

George Clooney cancels your bro-date.

Your book falls off the best-seller list, and in its place goes "Rush Me to Sexy Town" Rush Limbaugh's latest autobiography.

And you deserve all this, because you got the Nobel Peace Prize WITHOUT EARNING IT!

Forget that you won an election based solely on hope and positive thinking. Forget that you're trying to reduce nuclear arms. Forget that you brought back a shine to America's reputation. For that you should get a gold sticker on your potty chart, not a Nobel Prize!

How dare you receive this award that you clearly gave to yourself after bribing the most prestigious award committee in the world with free trips to the Smithsonian and season passes to the Bulls!

You have to refuse it. Refuse it or you will pay. You will lose the next election, Palin will win, and shooting orphans from a helicopter will become the next Olympic sport.

This award is a curse put on you by Satan, otherwise known as you--yourself. You gave this to yourself! It's all so clear to me now!

There is a message here. That message is that you are a bad person who has done bad things, and the word peace really means war, and the Olsens aren't really twins, and if you shout anything on Fox News loud enough with captions underneath you it means it's true!

SO THERE!

By the way, your left eye is looking a little funny...just sayin...

A List of People Who Can Go to Hell Now That I Can't Have Elizabeth Warren

So today was a rough day for everybody who isn't a @#$%-ing #$%hole. Let's just start there. If that upsets you, by all means, go straight to hell. This entire rant is going to be exactly what it sounds like. I am mad and I am going to exercise my right to BLOG ABOUT IT LIKE IT'S 1995, SO BUCKLE UP, BUTTERCUP. I really don't even know where to start, so let's just jump right in with the first person who comes to mind. Bloomberg, go to hell.  You really didn't have anything specific to do with today, but you can just go to hell for spending an ungodly amount of money on literally nothing.  I mean, you could have lit millions of dollars on fire and at least warmed the hands of the homeless, but instead, you made tv stations across the country that are already owned by Conservatives rich, so kudos to you and go to hell. Amy Klobuchar, I STUCK UP FOR YOU AMY.  I got into FIGHTS on SOCIAL MEDIA while DEFENDING your sorry, self-interested ass.  You know

Theater and the Outbreak

After last week's interview, a representative from a theater that recently experienced the results of opening too soon reached out to speak with me. I want to thank this person for coming forward in the hopes that it'll change some minds about what's safe and what isn't when it comes to the performing arts. Here's the interview: ME:  So this wasn't a full production or-- THEM:  No. It was us trying to do a little something for friends and donors. ME:  Who is 'us?' THEM:  The board of _____. ME:  And how long have you been on the board? THEM:  Three years. ME:  What was this going to be? THEM:  There's a, uh, beautiful park here in town, and we wanted to do an outdoor performance of a Shakespeare as a benefit, because, as you know, theaters are having a hard time right now paying the bills. We checked with the local government and the health department for the state to make sure we were doing everything the way we needed to in order to keep everyone s

People You Know Are More Important Than People You Don't Know

This post is in response to arguing with people--straight and gay alike--about a certain celebrity, whether or not she's an ally, if she's pandering, if pandering matters, and whether or not I'm an asshole. The last part is probably an enthusiastic "Yes" but let's reflect on this for a bit anyway without actually giving more time to an argument about a person none of us know, which is a crucial part of what I want to talk about. People you know are more important than people you don't know. I realize it's tricky in an age where we've never been closer or more engaged to our celebrities to keep in mind that we do not know them, they are not our friends, and while we may love them and stan and feel like we're attacked when they're attacked-- That is not true. That is not real. They are in no tangible way connected to us. Now, as someone who is obsessed with pop culture, I get that it's a little hypocritical for me to be making
