Bill Clinton Says: ‘Shit!’

Bill Clinton went on WHYY-FM and said the Obama campaign played the race card by saying Hillary wasn’t black enough to be president and accusing the great Bill Clinton of not liking black people enough.

And then he said “shit,” because he’s a normal person and lots of people say “shit” all the time, probably way more than Bill Clinton does, and it has to be really stressful when you’ve already done this twice and your wife was supposed to be the nomination lock and now there’s this upstart freshman senator who everyone likes more than you. Right?

And so he says, “I don’t think I should take any shit from anybody on that, do you?” in response to his record on racial issues. Because Bill Clinton freed the slaves and everyone knows he is unassailable, as he is the first black president.

Newspaper Sentence Of The Year

I forsee nothing topping this as the greatest sentence published in any newspaper this year.

Allen also knows that turkey poop also is called guano, scat, excrement or droppings.

Shit. The one the reporter left out was shit.

(This story, incidentally, is about a gang of turkeys that’s terrorizing a New Jersey town.)

‘Metro’ Drops Some Funky Shit

I’ll spare you some sort of annoying joke (”joke”) along the lines of “Oh yeah contributing to the horrible, pointless drug war surely is the right thing to do”, because, well, eh, I’m in a good mood and don’t want to get into a worse one. But I will say this: I am glad that I live in a city where the only daily newspaper that would print “shit” in a pretty much unedited form — when you use “sh-t,” you’re pretty much using “shit” — is the fucking Metro. At least one paper in this city doesn’t treat us like we’re five. Well, in this instance, at least.

Now You Can Finally Shit On City Hall

The wait is over.

The city’s first public toilet is here.

All citizens, rejoice! In a brief ceremony — yes, a ceremony — the Oz-like curtains were removed from around the pay toilet, which is now operational for just a quarter on the north side of City Hall.

One connected man — even with pay toilets, it’s how everything gets done in this city — was chosen to be the first to take the celebratory flush.

“If you compare this toilet to a typical Port-O-John, the difference is night and day,” says James Lewis, the director of facilities and public property for the city, and the pay toilet’s first user. “It was a really wonderful experience,” he said of being the first one to flush the city’s newest addition.

Amen, I say. This toilet opening clearly is the beginning of a new golden age for our fair city. Take that, Julia Vitullo-Martin!
