Sooooooo it’s ok to borrow someone’s line if they were in the race at some point but have since dropped out…..? I’m confused…
Both from last night’s debate…
Hillary just made me throw up a little in my mouth
Obama got great press because of the “Yes We Can” video, which incidentally was not produced by his people. Now see Hillary’s version, that her people put out.
Torture Talk with John Stewart
This made me laugh
McCain is stumped on the stump
This blew me away. Taken from washingtonpost.com….
It’s not often that a reporter stumps John McCain. But it happened Friday, and it was a telling moment for the Republican presidential contender.
The bus had been rolling for a half-hour and McCain was holding court on everything from Iraq to college basketball. (”Who woulda thought? VCU,” he exclaimed upon boarding.) And then someone asked about public funding for contraception in Africa to prevent the spread of AIDS.
“I’m sure I’ve taken a position on it in the past,” he stammered as he looked to his communications director. “I’m sure I’m opposed to government funding.”
Sensing a vulnerable moment, reporters kept the questions coming. What about sex education in the schools? Should it mention contraceptives? Or only abstinence, like President Bush wants?
“I think I support the president’s present policy,” he said, tentatively.
More questions: Do condoms stop sexually transmitted disease?
A long pause.
A stern look.
Why is this man still running for his party’s nomination?
Seriously, can someone please answer this question for me? Why hasn’t he conceded?
Is he hoping that McCain will choose him as a VP in order to balance the Republican ticket? Those highly coveted squirrel eater votes are hard to come by.
I can’t believe there are actually people who actually exist who actually voted for this guy.
Oh Tommy tommy tom….
Quietly slips under radar…
This totally slipped under my radar at least, but the iPod Touch is now available in a 32 Gig version for $499. The iPhone’s lowest model is now the 8Gig for $399 (no change there) and they’ve added a 16Gig model for $499… I do have to say I’m content with the 8Gig iPhone I have, and by the time I need to replace it there will be the iPhone2 or something like that. Just keeping everybody up to date… Wiggly icons are pretty sweet (but even sweeter with the wiggly Installer.app icon (yes I am a 1337 haxx0r dood (or I just followed instructions (but whatever))))…
Pretty much sums up “Achievements” in my mind
A screenshot from the soon to be released Devil May Cry 4 (360/PS3) off the PS3 when you unlock an achievement (with a little bit of editorializing from Joystiq (it’s that little bit in the lower right))…
People seem to go nuts over these achievements, and I just don’t get it… Isn’t getting all the items, or completing the game on the harder difficulty the achievement? Do you need the game to confirm that, in fact, you did get 20,000 points in a level? A system built into a game itself is fine, rewards of new weapons or new play modes after beating a game once gives it replay value and makes someone who spent 50 or 60 bucks feel like it was a good investment… Achievements are just bragging rights, and bragging rights for video games has always seemed, simply put, stupid… People who own X360s (and this isn’t all, so don’t take it as that) will rent games notorious for easy achievement points (::cough:: Avatar ::cough::) just to raise their gamer score… It makes gaming into a meta-game for socially competitive types, and I don’t want a meta-game… That’s not why I play video games. But maybe I’m the weird one here. The fact that Sony and video game makers seem to be bowing to this on the PS3 is pissing me off, but alas…
I Get it Now
Tom Cruise puts the ethos of Scientology into layman’s terms. If you haven’t seen this video, drop what you’re doing, watch it, and then donate $5,000 to L. Ron right now!!!
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:
