Michael Moore’s newest film “Slacker Uprising” is available for free, in its entirety, online.  I have not watched it myself yet, so I make no claims about it, but if you’re interested, there it is.  I am not writing this post to talk about the film however; I wanted to pass this missive along, which [...]

Watch this video at YouTube One of the biggest complaints against Democrats, and the Left in general, is that they lack the focus and efficacy of the Right in terms of “winning” in politics; to put it less delicately: they don’t have any balls. The Presidential debate last Friday was case in point- McCain took [...]

Jess told me to post something fun to break up all the political ranting I’ve been doing lately, so here it is, the best bit of viral marketing I have seen in a while. To quote Greg Kumparak: Wow. Whoever came up with this new ad for Wario Land: Shake it deserves a raise and [...]

According to this piece in the Washington Post, the above banner ad, sans “FAIL” text, is running on internet sites today. There is a screen shot of it in the wild here, and there is a report that another ad with a quote from McCain’s campaign manager and head lobbyist Rick Davis declaring that, [...]

Watch this video at YouTubeSo McCain certainly seems to be running around like a crazed man the past few weeks, doesn’t he! Add this one to the pile of examples that his is not fit to lead: his campaign has yet to skip a beat despite his claim yesterday that he was suspending it [...]

John McCain spent the majority of his 2000 and 2008 Presidential campaigns telling us he was an “outsider” and a “maverick” and a “reformer” who would kick the Old Boys out of Washington and fix this country. If you bought this, I have some links for you to peruse- your man McCain is [...]

My coworker Keith’s wife Vivian made these fantastic Sushi Cupcakes for us today.  Not only were they amazingly detailed, they were also quite delicious.   Fore more information on how Vivian made these delectable goodies, check out her blog post about them.

Please pass the second link along to anyone you know who is convinced that McCain will fix this mess [hint: he was part of the small group of corrupt politicians and policymakers who legislated this disaster into existence]. First up, via the [...]

Immediately read this article in the NYT (for some reason dated tomorrow) about the severity of the financial crisis.  We are apparently within days of the potential utter meltdown of our entire economic system.  Sober, scary times have arrived. WASHINGTON — It was a room full of people who rarely hold their tongues. But as the [...]

The entire world right now is watching the American economy shudder and stumble under the burden of millions of bad investments. Some of the oldest and most powerful financial institutions in America have collapsed in the past few weeks, leaving all of us wondering how this could possibly have happened. The how is [...]

On Saturday night, the season opener of SNL took on Sarah Palin, and managed to nail down every single aspect of this choice that is worth talking about. Just watch the video, it manages to cover a lot of ground, even stabbing the Dems a little for the weak support Clinton and her supporters [...]

Watch this video at YouTubeThis is pretty much just for fun on a Friday morning. Who had the brilliant idea to have the gigantic screen at the RNC be alternating solid blue and green? They asked the Internet to do this to them.

In 8 weeks we elect the people who will make all the big decisions for the next 4 years. This is an important decision, possibly the most important one you will ever make. I am not going to advocate one candidate over the other, I have my choice, you may have yours. [...]
Hey guys, check it out- Team Tiger Awesome just launched a total redesign of their site (looks awesome, Aaron) and to celebrate they released “Pizza Robot“, a short that I really do love. Apparently there are more on the way, so I’ll be sure to let y’all know as soon as I hear about [...]

On August 9, Sam (a somewhat-regular poster here) and I got hitched. When we first started planning our wedding, we decided that it had to be cheap, but it certainly didn’t have to be boring. During the initial planning phases, we were chatting with a friend of ours who we had gotten hooked on Katamari [...]

Those of you who do not know Summer of Tears need to go get educated! They are a great group of comedians, many of whom I had the honor of performing with in college, and this new short they’ve put out is stellar. If you live in LA, they are doing more and [...]
