If [the media] convince enough voters that that is negative campaigning, for me...

me: Umm, Hypnotiq?
coworker: Yes!
me: That shit’s disgusting.
coworker: Totally. The only time I ever drank it was with Mark Cuban, at the Four Seasons.

Cool YouTube Trick
myparentsweddingsong:
Check this trick out. If you want to share a YouTube vid with a friend, and have it start at a specific time point, simply take the URL code, and add #t=1m41s, where “1m41s” represents the minute/second description of the video time point.

The case to be heard first on Tuesday is, in fact, about profanity — what two widely used, vulgar words mean, at least in legal terms, and what the government can do about punishing their use, at least on radio and television in daytime and prime time. The case is Federal Communications Commission v. Fox Television Stations (07-582); the FCC is asking the Court to restore its authority...

Joe the Plumber is being pursued for a major record deal and could come out with a country album as early as Inauguration Day.
Joe’s first single, Asscrack America, recalls the spirit of Woody Guthrie so intensely that people are beginning to call him the Toilet Bowl Troubadour. Samples of clogged bathtubs and running sinks add a layer of ambiance to the track, and Joe’s...

We haven’t had a Joey Buttafuoco or Kato Kaelin in a while. I’m glad someone is stepping into that void.

Regardless of how reprehensible it is to hang an effigy of a black man from a tree, it’s still basically protected by the First Amendment. However, if that black man happens to be President of the United States, then such act falls outside the realm of free speech and becomes a federal crime. The Secret Service is obligated to investigate every such incident and prosecute those...

Crist, of course, is GOP — so for those of you (like me) who remember the shenanigans of 2000, this is incredibly heartening. It’s almost a West Wing moment, actually.
“It’s not a political decision. It’s a people decision.” — Charlie Crist
A massive, unmissable clusterfuck.
– Andrew Sullivan on the selection of Sarah Palin. I’d love to see Palin running a Gossip Girl-style ad campaign with the all negative quotes from those anti-American liberal media elite types as if they were reviewer callouts.

She’s a whack job.

Especially not if they perform oral surgery in front of large, unshaded windows. On my walk back from Starbucks just now, I was just treated to the sight of a poor woman being anesthetized with a very large needle.
