- Bret: Yeah, the government should do a budget.
- NYT: I believe we already have a budget.
- Jemaine: It doesn’t seem like it.

Reblogged from cjmeeks:
Chill out about the monkey cartoon, already.
Our building was the site of a protest yesterday over this goofy-ass monkey cartoon everyone’s shitting themselves over. Since Fox is owned by News Corp, which also runs The New York Post, so we’re all implicit in this, naturally. Here are some reasons I’m already sick of hearing about this.
1) No matter how badly you want to be offended, the cartoonist isn’t calling the president a monkey. He’s implying that the stimulus bill was written by a bunch of apes. And whether you agree with that or not, there’s a shitload of non-racist people who do.
2) Look at the cartoonist’s past body of work. Dude loves to draw him some monkeys. Loves it. And he drew Bush looking like a monkey for years. If he wants to imply someone is a monkey, he clearly has the skill to draw them as a monkey. The monkey in this cartoon isn’t even wearing pants.
3) He’s also making a relevent, if not entirely tasteful, reference to something that’s just gone on in the news. (The cops shooting a crazed chimp.)
4) Even if Sean Delonas was a horrible racist who deliberately wanted to imply that Obama is a monkey … who would have the balls to actually submit that to their publisher, much less approve it for printing in their paper? Nobody, that’s who. It’s not in the best interest of the artist, the paper or the company.
5) Remember that whole freedom of the press thing? Nobody’s making anyone look at this cartoon. Honestly, I don’t care if they publish a cartoon where Obama’s eating chicken while playing basketball and having bad credit, I’m not going to waste my time protesting. I’d just say “eat a dick, New York Post” and not buy or read the damned paper. It’s like the friggin Imus thing. Yeah, he said something pretty stupid, but if there weren’t people out looking for things to get pissed off about, nobody ever would have even known about the comment. Know why? Cause nobody listens to Don goddamn Imus.
6) It’s a cartoon. A CARTOON. An editorial cartoon, made for the purpose of provoking thought and poking fun at current events. Is it a good, or even funny cartoon? No. But it’s a cartoon.
This country has bigger fish to fry right now. We’ve got a couple of wars going on. Our economy is shitting its bed as we speak. The Hills now has a spin-off. Uncle Rupes and the paper itself have already apologized. It’s time for everyone to stop messing their britches over a dead animal cartoon, and focus on real problems.
Like the fact that the monkeys are turning on us …
General complaint
I am getting sick of trying to explain my limited connection to College Humor every night in my dreams.
Tonight I had to listen to these two hot girls talk about how afraid they were of Ricky Van Veen, then ask me if I could get them in to one of his parties.
The answer, in real life or in dream world, is no.
Upside: at least my dreams are taking place in New York.
