The Most Dissapointing News in the History of America

This is a sad day in American history. Fred Thompson–better known as Larry the Cable Guy’s favored candidate–has dropped out of the running. Who would have guessed that this would happen to the former lobbyist, who didn’t announce his candidacy until September and has refused to participate in any of the major debates? Well, the Huckster is still an available candidate for those who want to see America’s future destroyed the “fun” way.

Check out these remarkably poignant parting words. America is #1 because we’re willing to kill more people than anyone else to prove that killing is wrong:

Christmas-topher Hitchens

Hitchens is his usual entertaining self during this interview about the holiday season, featured on The Onion AV Club’s website:

Lots of great moments in this conversation, but here’s my favorite:

I don’t have someone permanently telling me, you know, that it’s the season to be jolly. And I don’t have to hear music that really isn’t music at all, like “Jingle Bell Rock,” blasted as if one lived in a state that allowed no alternative. Yes, actually, there are constant reminders of the Dear Leader and the Great Leader, all the fucking time. Plus, another thing I don’t like: celebrations of virginity. If asked my opinion about virginity, I would say, “I’m opposed to it.” I don’t think it deserves to be celebrated, at any rate. Or at least, if I’m not opposed, I’m very highly skeptical and critical of it.

The “Bah, Hanukkah” article to which the interviewer refers can be found here:

Have a holly jolly holiday!

Gus Visser And His Performing Duck

And now for a bit of lighthearted fun….

Behold a cross-eyed dandy lisp his way through the lyrics to “Ma, He’s Making Eyes At Me” while gently squeezing the scrotum of a mallard to provide the plaintive, squawking “Ma!”

The performer? Mr. Gus Visser, vaudevillian extraordinaire, and his incredible Singing Duck. While, at first glance, just a bizarre oddity of the early sound era, this film clip is of actual historical note. It was made by Theodore Case in 1925 as a proof-of-concept for the sound-on-film process he was shopping around an all silent Hollywood… a process that would eventually lead to the birth of the talkie in 1929’s The Jazz Singer.
