I don't want to like John Mayer but, damnit, he keeps doing really great things. Like this lousy interview, in which he repeatedly and profanely points out to the interview that it's a lousy interview.

Surveys show that a third of Americans go to church every single week. If that were true, every church in this country would be overflowing, with fifty million people turned away every Sunday. Surveys also show that a majority of Americans believe that what the bible says is true, and that they live their life by it. Yet only half of Americans can name a single gospel, sixty percent can name only four commandments, and a minority know that Genesis is the first book in the bible. The most well-known verse is "God helps those who help themselves"…which, of course, is nowhere to be found in the bible. The moral of the story here is that polls don't tell us how people behave, they tell us how they want surveyors to think that they behave.

Natural gas product can mean flammable tap water, as this amazing ten-second video shows.

The US Chamber of Commerce has long claimed that they speak for 3,000,000 members. Mother Jones investigated, and found that they were overstating their membership by an order of magnitude. The real number is closer to 300,000. One day after Mother Jones ran the story, the Chamber backed off, now using the smaller number. So, applying their own logic to themselves, the Chamber is now one-tenth as effective as they said they were two days ago?

Christians, lying about being Christians? Why, I never . . .
That interview was gorgeous.
John Mayer- how he works!

John Mayer’s music isn’t my cup of tea. And from all accounts he’s pretty much a douche. But the dude’s got a pretty good sense of humor, so I can give him some props. But only some.
I like when you can tell someone’s drunk just from a text piece. I agree, somehow this interview completely bypasses totally obnoxious and instead is just funny and great.
That said, I wasn’t aware anyone had ever referred to his guitar-playing as “really fucking good.” I mean, I just thought the essence of his appeal was his songwriting abilities and his boyish charm, not his actual strumming technique or what-have-you. But perhaps there’s some serious guitar chops that aren’t quite discernable from those songs of his that I’m forced to listen to in Kinko’s and the grocery store…

Wow – John Mayer spouts forth poetry almost as well as the Ancient Romans. Jada, lookout for that 9-inch bulge!
