I just went to check if anyone had grabbed a web domain for a possible Sarah Palin - Michelle Bachmann ticket in 2012. Go ahead and click it: www.PalinBachmann.com.
Yep, that’s pretty much what the outcome would be. Whatever you do, don’t tell the Republicans.
My buddy Robert Lanham wrote a new piece for Salon and it’s currently the featured item on the front page. It’s about Facebook (as predicted, I’m a miserable failure at it) and I’m not crazy about the “25 Random Things About Me” tags, but Rob’s article may have changed my mind about them.
But don’t even think about tagging me. You’ve been warned.
If you thought the DTV converter folks from VelocityStore.com couldn’t have found a person with less charisma than Sam Wurzelbacher to star in their analog-to-digital disaster epics, well, get a load of Mary. She makes Joe look like fucking Rip Taylor.
Sorry, been busy and will be for the rest of the day. Consider this an OPEN THREAD about anything.
An unexpected pre-holiday treat has been the freak out amongst the ObamaPod faithful about how moderate Obama’s cabinet picks have been so far. Though, I hold many views that are called “progressive” by The Nation and their ilk (I prefer “liberal”) I am happy and relieved to see so many Clinton hands on the deck of the good ship Barack. And watching the Kos Kidz head’s pop has leapfrogged seeing conservative sexual hypocrites implode for pure delight in my book.
If “cautiously optimistic” qualifies as a “freak out,” then the entire netroots/progressive community should have been rubber-roomed right at its inception.
Normally I can figure out how to grab streaming flash video, but the C-SPAN site has me stumped. Can anyone tell me how to grab this video featuring loathsome wingnut douchebag Mark Levin? I’ve poured through the code and I’m coming up empty. I want to edit down the “best parts” for YouTube. Thanks.
I try not to post videos that have already had a lot of eyeballs on them, but this one is too damn funny to pass up. The YouTube description pretty much says it all: “Quite possibly the lamest self defense techniques ever taught.”
I could watch Droopy Mustache Man getting poke-choked all day long.
My wife and I have a new funny we recently came up with that I figured I’d share with you folks. Whenever one of us says something the other person doesn’t agree with or want to hear, we respond: “Please take me off your mailing list.” Here’s a sample exchange:
Me: I put the new phone next to the cactus because I didn’t like where the old one was next to the window.
Her: Really?
Me: Yeah, you had to lean over the rocking chair to get to the answering machine and I don’t like that people can hear our messages coming in if we have the window open.
Her: But doesn’t it look crowded next to the lamp?
Me: I moved the jar with the painted eggs.
Her: (silence)
Me: It looks good. Trust me.
Her: But—
Me: Please take me off your mailing list.
Feel free to use it at home. If it saves your marriage, we expect some nice flowers or a gift certificate or something.
