Gavin McInnes on hipster hate:
“But what about their legacy?” I was recently asked by New York magazine. “What will they have left behind after it’s all said and done?” This question gets on my nerves. “Music and fashion,” I answered incredulously. Since when are young people responsible for leaving us with anything more? Have you heard their politics? I don’t want these people voting. I...

Ladies and gentlemen, this is serious.
On October 27 at 7:00 p.m., the new chapter in New York Knicks history begins against the Toronto Raptors. Now, since the game is in Toronto and because I couldn’t afford tickets even if the game was at the Garden, I thought this would be a good reason for all of us to get together and watch the game while drinking to excess.
Here are the...

NPR has the story of “Stoners Against Prop 19, a group of marijuana advocates who worry the California proposition to legalize pot is too restrictive on individual growers, in contrast to corporate growers.” Nice.

Ex-goalie: That one was totally not the goaltender’s fault, it was deflected in off a stick. Play-by-play: The goal came on a breakaway. Ex-goalie: Exactly. The shooter deflected it into the net using his own...

* Any gay people in here?” [Tracy] Morgan asked. The room got pretty quiet. “My friend are all kinds, my friends are all kinds. I just think that gay guys get sensitive sometimes.” He paused. Mr. Morgan continued, “If you can take a dick, then you can take a joke.” [Adam] Moss laughed deep and loud.
