VP Debate Reax Pt 2: Joe Biden Gives Zero Fucks
Ze Frank summarizes the facts of the debate:
–
Paul Ryan’s hair does look like an accordion. Although I think the comparison to the slow loris is unfounded. The slow loris is much cuter than Paul Ryan, although I’m sure Paul Ryan has nicer abs than the slow loris.
Just look at it… it’s clearly part of the 47%.
–
There weren’t any terribly egregious errors. Mostly normal fact check problems on both sides like rounding numbers like 264 to 300 and using studies that are wrong.
–
I made a comment during the debate that Biden says they are “friends” like they go flyfishing every second Tuesday month and then go to the titty bar.
Now I have a mental image of Joe Biden saying “titty bar” and it’s hilarious.

10/12 Vice Presidential Debate Reax
A couple people checked my blog last night waiting for some re-tweets. I don’t have much really.
Joe Biden called Paul Ryan a liar in several euphemisms. And that’s exactly what everyone was saying he should do and has done. Rally the base, yadda yadda.
Paul Ryan looked like he wanted to cry. I’ve never seen a grown man cry during a debate.
Here is a hypnotic Joe Biden debate .gif from Tumblr. HypnoBiden.

Happy National Coming Out Day From Clantily Scad
I’m bisexual. I’ve also used the term “heteroflexible,” but I think that totally falls under bisexual. Representing the B in LGBT.
Some people criticize the authenticity of my bisexuality because all of my whole 4 relationships have been with men. But that’s simply because there are statistically more men that like women than women that like women. Also, most of those men have been soft and pretty.
This is picture of me rolling around the floor with a girl.
A couple of decades ago this was weird, but now social norms say this is hot.

Stay classy reddit, stay classy.
Louis CK Promotes Tig Notaro
–
I got this super depressing e-mail from Louis CK.
Here’s an excerpt:
Tig is a friend of mine and she is very funny. I love her voice on stage. One night I was performing at a club in LA called Largo. Tig was there. She was about to go on stage. I hadn’t seen Tig in about a year and I said how are you? She replied “well I found out today that I have cancer in both breasts and that it has likely spread to my lymph nodes. My doctor says it looks real bad. “. She wasn’t kidding. I said “uh. Jesus. Tig. Well. Do you… Have your family… Helping?”. She said “well my mom was with me but a few weeks ago she fell down, hit her head and she died”. She still wasn’t kidding…
A few days later, I wrote Tig and asked her if I could release this set on my site. I wanted people to hear what I saw. What we all saw that night. She agreed. The show is on sale for the same 5 dollars I charge for my stuff. I’m only keeping 1. She gets the other 4. Tig has decided to give some of that to cancer research.
Buy the audio set for $5 here:

I never heard of her before but she actually is really funny. And you can fight cancer at the same time.
Jobs Report: Employment Below 8%
September 2012 unemployment according to the BLS: 7.8%
The jobs numbers are certainly not enough to change the basic story of a slow economic recovery, and it will take many years for the economy to get back to full employment.
However, the jobs numbers are one of the more hopeful signs for the economy on balance. An average of 146,000 jobs have been created per month over the past year, or closer to 157,000 with the government’s anticipated benchmark revisions accounted for.
Those aren’t great numbers by any means, and would translate to an annualized growth rate of 1.4 percent. But over the past 25 years, payroll jobs have grown at an annualized rate of 1.1 percent, or the equivalent of about 125,000 jobs added per month given today’s population. By this measure, it’s been a fairly average economic year, although certainly not enough to make up for the productivity that was lost from the economy in 2008 and 2009.
