Some things I like…
- Politics
- Obama endorsements
- Silly rhymes
- Well edited web videos
This has all of those things!
As seen on the Colbert Report!
Search “Colbert Report” on this site and read some of the articles. Very interesting research!
Often, during the week (or at night on the weekends), I like to kick back and watch some good ol’ Daily Show or Colbert Report or Corner Gas online.
But, the past little while they played commercials three times per episode. I understand this, but the problem is, they just show the SAME COMMERCIAL. I don’t know how many times I saw an ad for “Cash Cab” or “Two and a Half Men ONLINE”. too many times. It sucked.
But today, I watched all three of my aforementioned favorite comedy network TV shows and NO COMMERCIALS! IT was pure uninterupted, unadultered, online entertainment awesomeness. Please don’t be a fluke, Comedy Network Dot ca! I really love watching online, but your commercials are annnnooooyyyyyyyiiiiiiiingggggg…

Upon entering Starbucks, I immediately realized that the McCain/Palin folks were having a little meeting. I saw several women in dresses wearing pink buttons proclaiming “Women for McCain/Palin”. A few of them brought their husbands who were sporting buttons saying things such as “Sportsman for McCain/Palin” and “NOBama”. I sat down at the table next to the group just as they were starting their meeting.
As soon as the last member of their group came in, they prayed. In their prayer they begged that God “deliver the country from the evil socialists” and even prayed that “Obama find God”.
[…]
The next person lamented that their whole office was voting for Obama. The McCain/Palin supporters called that person’s co-workers “sinners” and said that they “needed Jesus”.
[…]
They talked a little more about how Obama would destroy our country with “free health care” and “gay marriages”. The feared his daughters would probably play loud rap music in the White House while world leaders were staying. They feared that Muslim would become our official religion. One of them even feared that “the Muslim language would be taught in schools.”
[…]
They just couldn’t believe this great country would elect “that man”. They couldn’t believe God would allow it. One woman even thought that God may be punishing the country by giving us Obama.
[…]
on the way out the door one of the men told me “you are a disgrace to white people if you vote for that man.” I told him he was a disgrace to people who think by voting for McCain.

Daily Kos: State of the Nation
These kinds of people give religion a bad rap.
These are the kinds of people that Bill Maher talked to in Religulous, a hillarious, well put together critique of religious extremism that I would be excited to watch again.
Both the movie and the article accentuates the point that religious extremism is bad in all cases, be it Islam, Christianity, Scientology, or Spaghetti Monsterism.
It makes me sad that supporting a black person is more of “a disgrace to white people” than being an ignorant, arrogant, racist prick.
"Obama is up by 7.6
23 days to go"

On politics and martinis
- President Jed Bartlet: Can I tell you what's messed up about James Bond?
- Charlie Young: Nothing.
- President Jed Bartlet: Shaken, not stirred, will get you cold water with a dash of gin and dry vermouth. The reason you stir it with a special spoon is so not to chip the ice.
- James is ordering a weak martini and being snooty about it.
These guys took baseball statistics techniques and applied them to the presidential race. This table, in my opinion, is the most interetsing part of the site.

I have perfect color vision?! I guess that’s fair, considering my un-aided vision is around 20/150. Either that, or this is an easy test.
I, however, do not have perfect vision…
but i’m working on that. and with these bionic eyes ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!
This is really, really cool! It takes some time to do, but it is very intriguing. My score was 15. Beat that.
Wow! I was looking for a new mealplan, and the internet delivered.

Calgary radio station X 92.9 has sponsored this site that is designed to simply boost voter turnout, seemingly in the younger demographic.
There is no excuse for not voting (unless you’re inelligable).
If you aren’t planning on voting, perhaps we can make a deal… I will write a sonnet for you if you decide to vote. ! A free personalized sonnet?! What a deal!!! DO IT.
A CD company as silly as I am.
When I bought 2 CD’s from CDbaby.com they sent an automated email saying I could expect a personalized email from a real person on the day it was shipped. The email far surpassed my expectations. Here it is:
~~~
Your CDs have been gently taken from our CD Baby shelves with
sterilized contamination-free gloves and placed onto a satin pillow.
A team of 50 employees inspected your CDs and polished them to make
sure they were in the best possible condition before mailing.
Our packing specialist from Japan lit a candle and a hush fell over
the crowd as he put your CDs into the finest gold-lined box that money
can buy.
We all had a wonderful celebration afterwards and the whole party
marched down the street to the post office where the entire town of
Portland waved “Bon Voyage!” to your package, on its way to you, in
our private CD Baby jet on this day, Sunday, October 5th.
I hope you had a wonderful time shopping at CD Baby. We sure did. Your picture is on our wall as “Customer of the Year.” We’re all
exhausted but can’t wait for you to come back to CDBABY.COM!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Sigh…
