In case you’ve yet to see this, it’s a doozy: East Haven, Conn. Mayor Joe Maturo’s plans to help the Latino community, struggling with a controversy regarding rogue police officers detaining Latinos seemingly without reason? ”I might have tacos when I go home,” he told a TV news reporter. “I’m not quite sure yet.” Maturo later apologized for the comments in a statement, claiming ”I let the stress of the situation get the best of me and inflamed what is already a serious and unfortunate situation. I regret my insensitive comment and realize that it is my job to lead by example.” But let’s face it, there’s no getting out of this one.

This is simply too painful to watch all of the way through. What planet is this guy from? When voting and tax paying members of your community feel as if they’re being unfairly harassed by the police (an agency funded by tax payers), normally you (the mayor of the town) make assurances for them and perhaps most importantly you do not alienate potential voters or donors. As an example, in this scenario you can reply with just about any political cliche except for, “I might have tacos when I go home.” This is the stuff of memes,

What are you going to do for the Japanese community after the tsunami today?
“I might go karaoke, I’m not quite sure yet.”

By the way, bravo, high-five and much love to the reporter for rightfully grilling him.

I cannot handle this one bit.

This goes from bad to worse.

Somewhere, a child sits playing “divorce” with a GI Joe, a Raggedy Ann, and Joe’s new lover, Moonbeam the Breyer Stablemates Shetland Pony figurine.

HOLY SHIT DID ANYONE ELSE NOTICE BOTH THIS AND ADELE’S ALBUM ARE NAMED 21.

The parking lot of this beach is where I drunkenly lost my virginity. Very true story.

Not only has he become the opposite of what he used to be, he’s made thinking otherwise seem mean-spirited. He is the puppy-basket of late-night talk-show hosts.

He’s also the puppy-basket of late-night talk-show hosts to actually have puppy-baskets on his show.

Everything about this show is terrific right now.
