…here’s a “Success”… I know who’s doing my wedding video…
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.
someday in my mansion…

Alright! Enough! I’m Officialy Creeped Out.
Meet the Little Girl Giant.
I’m looking for more info on this monstrosity that was displayed in the streets of London on May 7th. For now i’ll just say that it may be time to run from the hills.
My favorite comment on this: “FAKE!! its not really a giant, but rather a really big puppet, You can see the wires and people moving the “giant” if you look closely. Dont Be fooled!!, I repeat THIS IS NOT A REAL GIANT!!”
“You’re a Fascist. Get them to print you a t-shirt with ‘Fascist’ on it.”
Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on “The Legal Rights of Guantanamo Detainees”…
Lindsay Graham has some views I don’t agree with, but I was incredibly relieved to see this video, for all the good it’s going to do in the long run… the Bush Administration doesn’t care what any legal expert they don’t hand pick says about torture…
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…
