Conde Nast to buy Rolling Stone?

Could it be true? Would this signal the end of Rolling Stone, or a bright, new beginning? From mediabistro:

Don’t Waste Your Breath

Why won’t you let me say what I waaaana say?

I’m sure you’re all familiar what that psychodelic Gravel ad (Power to the peeeople, give peace a chance). Well, I just found the source for that fucked up background: this cartoon, made to celebrate the bicentennial:

I have developed a hilarious, absurd, and magical photo series that has some important messages and some complete non-sense.  I have about ten to twelve of these pictures ready to go… but I’m having issues resizing them so they won’t be fucking gigantic when posted.  Look forward to it.
It will be titled: “Our America Is [...]

On Letting Go: Part IV – Your Job

Part IV – Your Job:
My parents talk about things like company loyalty and job security.  In reality all that talk is simply bullshit, simply a handful of excuses to con honest hardworking Americans into getting stuck in the same dead end job track from the now until the end of eternity or until the point [...]

Part III – Relationships:
This is where my useful advice starts to dwindle.  Still, I’ve been fucked over enough times to figure out some of the basics of this stupid game.

On Letting Go: Part II – Music

Part II – Music:

A lot of old people are wise.
But, a lot of [...]
