Bill Hicks Remembered
The 15th anniversary of the death of legendary comedian Bill Hicks is coming up on February 26 of this year. In commemoration of this, David Letterman had Hicks’ mother on his show on January 30th, and he finally showed the stand-up routine that was censored several months before Bill died. He has become one of my top 5 comedians as I’ve poured through his past albums (which I would highly recommend anyone check out), and this was a very nice thing for Letterman to do (as well as taking the blame for the censoring)… Anyway, the standup act itself is in the 3rd part (if you just want to skip to that…) Enjoy…

Last words… if you will…
Nuggets of Wisdom
That’s really the only way to describe this:
“He knows what the right decision is…”
A mother who was an atheist is nothing to be afraid of. A father who was a muslim is nothing to be afraid of. This woman is afraid of anything without a cross apparently, and even those with crosses aren’t off her radar if they don’t hold those crosses at just the same angle as she does…
It’s a shame that McCain has decided that, instead of fighting the scare tactics used against him in 2000, he’s going to fully embrace them for all the electoral votes they’re worth…
Here’s the consequence of this meme of McCarthy-esque scare tactics…
I don’t have words so fill in your own… or use Katrina’s…
….I think I know what the right decision is…
New Slogan for McCain/Palin…
It’s got a nice ring to it…
Hopefully everyone has seen this video…
Nixon W. Bush
Who is the worst President in the history of the United States?
OK, obviously. Let me revise the question: Who is the worst President in the history of the United States (active Presidents excluded)?
There are a few names you might be tossing around in your head. Hoover. Buchanan. Harding. But, chances are that there is one especially demonic, psychotic, megalomaniacal gargoyle that immediately leaped forward and started doing somersaults as soon as you finished reading the question.
NIXON
For years, I feel like our generation has lived in Nixon’s shadow. He was always the nadir of American politics. No one ever had anything nice to say about the former President, and he was the constant subject of ridicule for comedians and cartoonists. His physical appearance was ghastly-the demented eyes, the sagging jowls, the profuse sweating, the constant fidgeting, as if he were trying to slip out of his suit without unbuttoning anything. He spoke in a horrible guttural growl that made him sound like a gorgon with laryngitis.
Music Performance of the Century
Skip the interview and go straight to the performance:
This can’t be real… can it?
Music video for McCain… by: The McCain Girls…
Ok, there is no way that is real…
People are loving the “Fail” descriptor of recent…
…here’s a “Success”… I know who’s doing my wedding video…
Chrono Trigger remake was in the works…
…but alas, Square put a stop to it in 2004… This video was leaked by the director of the project… Fast forward to 5 minutes if you actually want to see stuff you’ll recognize (besides the swinging pendulum…)
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Happy Valentine’s Day to everyone out there in cyberspace. If you’ve got a special someone and you aren’t sure what to do for him/her tonight, may I make a suggestion? Sit him/her down in front of the computer, break out some champagne and some chocolate covered strawberries, and watch this video together:
