Fox News Wonders....

Could Civil War in Iraq be a good thing?

If you don't think Fox News is a big-ole-pile-of-crap yet, maybe the screenshots over at Media Matters will convince you.

Curling Streaker

There was a streaker during the bronze medal mens curling match. And wait, it gets better.... The streaker was wearing, and I quote, poultry for a loin cloth.

Martha Stewart and Donald Trump

Can I just go on the record saying I can't stand either one? Watching them destroy each other in public might be fun, though.

Electoral College Reform

Looks like some former congressmen are looking to reform the electoral college. It'll never happen, but bravo to them for trying.

From the article:

"Critics, however, say changing the Electoral College system would reduce the influence of smaller states"

Wrong. Scrapping the electoral college would make it neccessary for candidates to run a national campaign. Candidates wouldn't visit swing states like Wisconsin and Iowa so much, but guess what? The influence of these states is INFLATED. It SHOULD be reduced.

And Democrats in Texas, and to be fair, Republicans in New York, should be able to cast votes that matter in a presidential race, which they can't under the current system.

While I'm dreaming, we should reform the Senate as well. The 12 people in Vermont should have as much representation as the 60 million in California? My ass.

Samuel L. Jackson Quote of the Day

I love Sam Jackson. And I totally want to see Snakes on a Plane.

From Morganaus:

Premiere: ... Snakes on a Plane, for which you lobbied the producers to stick with the title rather than change it to Pacific Air Flight 121.

Sam Jackson: They had already changed the title when I got to Canada to start shooting. I let it go for a while. Then one day the producers were standing there, and I'm saying, 'so are you seriously going to leave (the) name on this?" And they're going, 'Yeah, we don't want to give too much away to the audience.' I'm like, 'Yeah, you do. That's the way you get them in there. Nobody wants to see Pacific Air Flight 121. People want to see Snakes on a Plane.' When I picked up the script and I saw the title, I didn't even read it and I said, 'I want to do it.' You know, before I opened the first page, Snakes on a Plane. If this is what I think it is, I want to be in this. I want to be on a plane full of poisonous snakes. And I want to see others on a plane full of poisonous snakes. You say Snakes on a Plane, people who don't like snakes are intrigued. The people who don't like to fly are intrigued. The people who don't like both are totally terrified now. People who like seeing mayhem are totally ready for that. They want to see, you know, people enclosed in a big tin tube getting attacked by poisonous snakes. Come on! What could be more exciting than that, you know?

More ports

Bush didn't even know about the deal with the ports until a couple days ago? What a sack of crap.

AOL Still Sucks

AOL wants to give spammers preferential treatment over their own customers.

AOL. Always sucked, always will.

Ports

As Liberal Oasis and this article in the Nation point out, the fact that the United Arab Emirates is the country we our outsourcing our ports to is only part of the problem. The bigger problem, and it goes to the primary distinction between Republicans and Democrats, is that we are outsourcing our ports at all.

Sicko Marriage Contract

Yes, this guy is an asshole. But at least she gets a "GBD" on her birthday.

Who's gonna but me the Shatner CD?

This review makes me worry about Harry Knowles.

The White House knew Cheney would shoot that man in the face

As usual, The Onion has the scoop.

Problems with Political Correctness

As you know by now, Shani Davis was the first African-American to win an individual gold medal in the winter olympics. But what the media keeps forgetting to tell you is that he was the first black person from any country to win an individual gold medal in the winter olympics.

King Kaufman explains.

And the winner is....

John Richardson, of Kansas City, Missouri, winner of the Christian Fundamentalist Website Contest! He provided me with http://www.armyofgod.com/Leviticus.html

As promised, I personally guarantee that he will not go to Hell. Although he's very close to Kansas. which has its own problems.

Leviticus, of course, is the section of the Bible that says "Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination," the passage fundamentalists use to make to convinces gay people that they're going to hell.

Leviticus is also the section of the Bible that says you can't eat shrimp. They always forget to mention that part.

A few other people mentioned some other crazy fundamentalist websites. Find them in my comments section.
