I’m suffering from blogger’s blog and can’t find anything current I’m interested in to blog about. The primary season has already taken its toll on me and we’re only three states into it (four if you count Wyoming, but let’s not). Every word uttered by the candidates or their subordinates is getting over-parsed by the media and the blogosneer is echo-chambering all of it to death. Today I decided to catch up on the woefully unheralded Sundance documentary series Nimrod Nation instead of hunting and pecking and sighing through Google News to find something worthy of you fine folks. It was a wise choice.
I’ll be back tomorrow with all sorts of shrillity for your enjoyment, but until then please enjoy the vocal stylings of Bill O’Loofah:
BONUS DISCUSSION POINT: Should I go see Cloverfield this weekend at the bargain matinée since my wife is away and she’d rather be dragged through Fred Thompson’s unwashed ass crack than watch it or should I just assume it’s a festering load of MTVapidness and spend my time finally seeing if the freeze-dried hard drive voodoo works?
Zach plants Michael Cera (Superbad, Juno, Arrested Development) between two ferns. Very funny (and just a tad creepy).
SOMEWHAT RELATED: The premise is a little cheesy but the animation “Juno & Iggy - The Mixtape,” promoted at the end of the above video, has its moments.
THE RISE OF RUDY: Good article in the Washington Post examining the young life of Rudy Guiliani and how early events helped mold him into the massive dickhead he is today.
UPDATE: Figured I’d check into YouTube to see how the dreadful pro-Rudy “President” “parody” has been doing since we snickered at it back in mid-November. Only a little over 6000 views on YouTube is pretty dismal for a video someone obviously dumped a lot of money into, including advance promotion and building a whole web site for it. I guarantee the video embedded above, which was probably just crapped out on a home computer, will have at least that many views in a couple of days. But remember, Republicans are much better with money.

(Thanks for the tip, Colin!)
UPDATE: I guess we were driving a little too much traffic to the listing because Restaurants For Sale Online has pulled it. Or, I guess, someone with an excess of pork pouring out of their pockets might have bought it. You can view the Google cache here or check out our screencap.
There’s a special part of me that knows liking something as insipid as “Cute With Chris” is bad for my “cool” ranking, but that special part of me is too cool to care. (Warning to my sensitive readers: This video features a dog with eye cancer, but his name is “Happy” and, by all accounts, he seems to be.)
