Everyday on the interweb is a new adventure…
I love this little leprechaun…
A new video I found after the jump…
Never trust robots. How in the hell did i miss this video?
This video/song was a big hit in 2005 but somehow i missed it. The song is We’re in Business by Andrew Thompson. It has some very important lessons about why one never should never trust robots. Don’t leave them with your kids, dont take them along for trips, and dont take them to work. Not only is it an entertaining video, but it’s a damn good song.
p.s. it reminds me of the robot song by flight of the conchords. also great. and a damn good show.
Look for this album next week
Be on the lookout for the release next week of the 1st album by She & Him. It looks very promising. Alright, i’ll admit it, i’ve heard the album, but I intend to go purchase it when it comes out. The band is a project by actress Zooey Deschanel and musician M. Ward. It has a few very interesting covers as well as many original works, and is a kind of tour of the history of american music. It has jazz songs, country songs, Motown type tunes and is all around a really exciting release. Keep in mind thought that it is in no way transformative, groundbreaking, or eye-opening. It is however, a really really great album. I’m posting the tune that they released as a free download on myspace, so i dont think i can get in trouble there.

Ya see? This is why i love Obama. Hillary doesnt have the balls to say this shit…
Barack Obama told a Wyoming crowd that he would review every executive order that Bush ever made, to determine it’s constitutionality. This is the kind of leadership we need right now. More here.
People are loving the “Fail” descriptor of recent…

Gov. of Montana says RealID is a bunch of bull
The Governor of Montana, Brian Schweitzer, rejects the idea of a national ID outright in a NPR interview. He notes that both real Republicans as well as real Democrats realize that the the RealID is a terrible ideal. Stand up for states rights! Interview here.
Iraq Strategy…
From the two Australian (one is actually from New Zealand, but I digress) comedians who did the “The Front Fell Off” sketch that Drac posted previously elsewhere… This video is from late in 2006 …
Larry David: “Does anyone want this nut answering the phone?”
A brilliant article written by Larry David addressing the recent ridiculous television advertisement by Hillary Clinton [source]…
Here’s an idea for an Obama ad: a montage of Clinton’s Sybillish personalities that have surfaced during the campaign with a solemn voiceover at the end saying, “Does anyone want this nut answering the phone?”
How is it that she became the one who’s perceived as more equipped to answer that 3 a.m. call than the unflappable Obama? He, with the ice in his veins, who doesn’t panic when he’s losing or get too giddy when he’s winning, who’s as comfortable in his own skin as she’s uncomfortable in hers. There have been times in this campaign when she seemed so unhinged that I worried she’d actually kill herself if she lost. Every day, she reminds me more and more of Adele H., who also had an obsession that drove her insane.
A few weeks ago, I started to feel sorry for her. Oh Christ, let her win already…Who cares…It’s not worth it. There’s not that much difference between them. She can have it. Anything to avoid watching her descend into madness. So I switched. I started rooting for her. It wasn’t that hard. Compromise comes easy to me. I was on board.
And then I saw the ad.
I watched, transfixed, as she took the 3 a.m. call…and I was afraid…very afraid. Suddenly, I realized the last thing this country needs is that woman anywhere near a phone. I don’t care if it’s 3 a.m. or 10 p.m. or any other time. I don’t want her talking to Putin, I don’t want her talking to Kim Jong Il, I don’t want her talking to my nephew. She needs a long rest. She needs to put on a sarong and some sun block and get away from things for a while, a nice beach somewhere — somewhere far away, where there are…no phones.
