Nice 9/11 reference there “Skip”…

Happy Opening Day Everybody!!

‘Ol Busheroo throwing out the first pitch (and getting heckled…) at the Nationals’ season opener…

Music Performance of the Century

Skip the interview and go straight to the performance:

What the hell happened to Charlie Rose?

I mean, i know he asks tough questions *cough cough*, but there’s no need for violence. This is a screen cap from last night’s show. What’s Charlie been up to?

Update: Rose tripped in a pothole while walking on 59th Street in Manhattan. He was carrying a newly purchased MacBook Air and made a quick (but ultimately flawed) decision while falling: sacrifice the face, protect the computer. (via TechCrunch)

Everyday on the interweb is a new adventure…

I love this little leprechaun…

A new video I found after the jump…

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.

I want people to say vile things in the comments for this…

From Billo last night…

I’m not trying to offend anyone…

…seriously… Just as a warning, this is a clip from a weekly cable access show entitled “Atheist Experience” in which two fellows just sit and discuss Atheism/Theism… This is their response to a caller saying “…atheists have faith, just like theists.” I thought it was a particularly well argued point, which is what kept me watching (it is 11 minutes), and I would recommend watching for the entire length of the piece for the payoff at the end of it… So sit back and enjoy…
