Will be without computer for a few days.

 

My best wishes for you and yours,

• Finally, the Harold Ford Jr. style ad against Barack Obama

McCain campaign mega douchebags: is your memory that short?

Now, the McCain campaign has finally crossed this line we all knew they would. Assume they won’t think they’re actually being racist until McCain yells the N Word during a town hall, and the tries to act like he’s mispronouncing Niger.

Link summation:

ABC article re: McCain 08 Commercial, where’s my THAT’S RACIST GIF when I need it?

Harold Ford Jr. is about to get a lot of press thanks to this.

• EPIC FLAG FAIL

Their thoughts:

Laura Bush: Oh, he has no idea. If I explain it, he’ll yell at me because the Olympics didn’t have chocolate milk.

George W.: ASU! ASU! ASU! ASU! ASU!

Woman on right: Man there is no way he could have masterminded 9/11.

Kissinger: If that child asks me for a letter of recommendation, I swear to fucking christ I’m shitting in a paper bag, freezing it, and telling him it’s German Chocolate.

Farva from Super Troopers: I love it when people make me look smart.

• The AMT 100i - An Ass Kicking Machine by Precor

That which kicks my ass.

I’ve gotten into an every other day regimen that is 4 days (2 trips) old.

If I don’t pat myself on the back for this now, I won’t have an audience to disappoint if I quit it.

• re: This American Life #361: Fear of Sleep

Luckily, for me, when I downloaded the newest This American Life podcast, I was focused on something else and didn’t listen to it whilst in bed or before I fell asleep.

If I had, I think I might have been institutionalized. Now, you must be thinking I’m talking with much more hyperbole than usual, which I’d give a slight agreement to, but I have to say that during the 2nd or 3rd act, the one in which they talk about bed bugs, I was so happy that I was awake and walking on the street.

I repeat, detailed history of life with bed bugs. Which infest your books, your bed, your sheets, your everything. You can see into their stomaches? Stuff I would have been stupid to have heard at the ungodly hour of whenever I go to bed O’Clock.

It’s awesome, though. Check it.

• Alex, I’ll take People Who Need To Get Over Themselves, for $100

Fuck Pennsylvania, people in Denver are bitter.

Something I think people who still want HRC 2008 need to hear:

“THIS ELECTION IS BIGGER THAN YOU. IT’S BIGGER THAN ME, I KNOW THAT.

BUT BY BEING A WHINY FUCKTARD, YOU’RE SHOWING HOW SMALL YOU ARE.

NOW, STOP THE MADNESS.”

• WHAT?? Edwards had an affair? The Enquirer Was Right?

HOLY FUCKING SHIT.

Speechless. Guess I was wrong. MAYBE this explains him dropping out of the election so early?

Thank god he didn’t get the nomination. We’d be fuuuuuuucked.

• Tea Tree Oil Dental Pics: The Endorsement

Portable Hygiene Crack

I forgot to bring them with me to work, and now I feel a little less than normal.

I mean, I don’t know about you, but I used to constantly be trying to get all sorts of food out from betwixt my teeth. Now, I have the best solution, as these are tasty as all hell. Also, walking around with a toothpick in your mouth does have the tendency to lead to thoughts of being somehow a bad ass, but I warn you: that is all in your head.

Working in the modern office, where cigarettes are not allowed, it’s hard to feel like you’re getting your true blue Don Draper on when drumming up ideas. With these, you can fiddle, wag, and gesticulate just as if you had one of Don’s Lucky Strikes going; except with these, you’re not doing yourself any harm.

Got ‘em for 3 or so at the pharmacy near the Bedford and N. 7 street stop. Tried to look for something like this at the Duane Reade on 14th and 3rd, where they had plastic toothpick bullshit I didn’t even want to waste money on.

• In Bruges, Under All Of Our Radars

So, I’d never seen In Bruges until right now, and I have only myself to blame for it. So, brief thoughts on the matter:

Holy shit, is that … that’s … no fucking shit … Colin Farrell can actually act? Who was keeping this a secret? Aside from Colin.

Brendon Gleeson is a king of all kings.

Ralph Fiennes … what else can be said but christ that man is a talent.

Is that the girl who played Fleur Delacour? Cripes, it is. Wonder if Gleeson was the one who hipped the casting director to her.

American dwarves are hilarious. Especially when they are coked up and forsee … well, I’m not going to spoil that one. Just think to yourself: This movie has all that, plus coked up dwarves.
