I think many men will appreciate this take on the “Sex in the City” movie.

WAAAAH! My Candidate’s Not Going to Be President! WAAAAH!

28-May-08

During Bill’s Presidential tenure, I was a fan of the Clintons. And even afterwards, I smirked schadenfreudically at the country as we all went through our various troubles, and thought, America, I bet a blow job in the Oval Office doesn’t seem half as bad to you now that this gomer’s in charge.

Google lets video uploaders claim copyrights on public domain/free footage - Boing Boing
“Basically I put out a free public domain video for the internet to use as they wished, 236.com made a thirdhand derivative parody, and through Google Video they made an aggressively claim of copyright over my own material.”

Bill Clinton Pushes Hillary as Obama’s Running Mate — Political Wire

Two Extremely Catchy and Fun Rock Anthems

19-May-08

Just wanted to highlight a video from that “jukebox” post … the Hanslick Rebellion’s “You are Boring the Shit Out of Me”:

A rock anthem you’ve never heard before, and you’ll shortly find yourself singing along with the chorus, which is just … great.
