what celebrity would you like Tom to ruin next?

[Lawrence Orbach]

TED NUGENT.

TED NUGENT.

Agreed.

Groundwork being laid ... let's see if he takes the bait.

Hey @IAmPapaJohn, how about a follow?

[daveB from Oakland]

TED NUGENT.

Agreed.

Not sure about that one. People have tried to deal with the Nuge, and nothing good ever comes of it. It's like talking to a wall. A wall that has been painted in hideously loud migraine-inducing colors. It's like throwing rocks at a rabid ferret. It's like ... I don't know, you can continue with the bad analogies if you want to.

People who are huge libertarians and only hate the Democrats always confuse me.  Is it really only about guns?  And there aren't a lot of big anti-gun people in the Democratic Party, anyway.  I think what they really share with today's GOP is a penchant for hating people.  Loudly.

I'm on the left and I'm OK with people having guns. It just isn't a big thing to me. In general it's really not something that comes up with lefty friends.

Back to Ted Nugent. A Jezebel article on top rightie meltdowns referred to him as 'beef jerky with a wig on it'. And that is how I will think of Ted Nugent from now on, if in fact I think of him.

[buffcoat]

Right-wingers who are scared of the left about guns are living in the past.  Very few liberals under the age of 60 even register much of an opinion about guns, and, even with a complete Democratic takeover of Congress and the Presidency, I wouldn't think that guns would come up for years.

Of course, the people who listen to right-wing media and politicians seem to enjoy being scared and angry all the time, so it kind of doesn't matter what the subject is.  Logic is not the way we win that fight.

[dave from knoxville]

Buffcoat's right. And I nominate Guy Fieri for a takedown, who, if you don't follow me on Twitter (or actually even if you do), Anthony Bourdain described as what you would get if "Ed Hardy fucked a Juggalo."

I'm working on a Shepard Fairey Chuck Woolery poster. The site has some registration problem now so I had to take a screenshot. Once I can register an account I'll do a better job on making the outline and send it to tom and chuck. Preview here: http://d.pr/i/vqcL

This is a fascinating article that describes how the NRA went from an enthusiast club with safety as priority number one to the right wing fear machine it is now.

Did someone say "Guy Fieri takedown"?

I just came on intending to post about that. Hokey Smokes, if there has ever been a worse restaurant review published in a media outlet of any description anywhere, I'd love to see it.

An SNL bit that didn't make it past dress rehearsal: Guy Fieri [Bobby Moynihan] responds to the NYT review.

Glad to hear someone else doesn't like Garry (two 'r's' - well dodgy) Shandling. 

I never liked It's The Garry Shandling Show because he was/is always licking his lips and when he looked at the camera I always felt he was touching me with his face.

And it wasn't funny.

I have never watched a single episode of Larry Sanders and am proud to have Tweeted to him that he was, is and ever shall be a 'wad'.

Piers Morgan is a Wad of the Highest Order.  I'd love to know what percentage of Tweets he gets that are of two words or under.
