random thought of the week

Sarah Palin. no, not the guy from Monty Python.
She might be the first Female vice president, which would be a historic moment, were it not for the fact that Geraldine Ferraro could have done the same thing 24 years ago. Basically, it's the Right's way of saying 'we're only 24 years behind the Democrats'

where does Sarah Palin get off saying that she's a lot like Hillary Clinton? Does she really think women are that stupid?
"hmm. does she share my views on Abortion? no. Does she share my views on Gay Rights? no. does she have a vagina? yes. I think she has my vote."
let's not kid ourselves. A more effective speech would say 'All you lonely guys won't bother to check out my positions on any issues relevant to you, because I have tits.' This would be especially effective because all the guys would hear is "guys, check out my tits"

Ebert and Roeper need not apply

Disaster Movie, the latest installment in the series of increasingly-sucky parody movies, may be the only movie where the review of the movie is contained within the title of the film itself.

random thought of the week - olympic edition

Here we go with another random thought, delivered in a semi-weekly fashion.
I, like all Americans, have been watching Olympic swimming, and nothing else.
Anyways, At the start of the Backstroke races, I did not know that a start was required than from the blocks. So, when everyone jumped in the pool to get set up, I just thought that they were splashing around. I know that I would have yelled 'cannonball!!"

This may be one reason why I'm never going to the Olympics.

random thought of the day

It has come to my attention, that Isaac Hayes, the singer of the famous and iconic song "Chocolate Salty Balls" has died.
you have to realize that somewhere out there, there are people who don't know about Shaft.

random thought of the week - olympic edition

Ahh, the Olympics. the spectacle, the glory of the gold, the blatant attempts on the part of the presenters to avoid saying something that would piss off China. Because I don't care about China getting mad at me, I'm doing a special olympic edition of my blog.

Now, WTF is up with these parade uniforms?

This is not the PGA Tour from the 1950's, I swear.

Designed by Ralph Lauren, a designer who really wishes he were from England, these outfits aren't very... American. These scream "British". Well not scream, that wouldn't be proper, but they at least say it in a firm but polite tone. They look like something out of an Agatha Christie novel. The only thing you can do in one of these outfits that doesn't look weird is walk around going "Hurr Hurr Hurr".

because "too soon" is not in my vocabulary

today marks the one year anniversary of the 35W bridge collapse. To this day, I still feel like singing hat nursery rhyme 'London Bridge' makes you an asshole.

In other news, we have reports that as many as one fourth of bridges in America are structurally deficient or functionally obsolete. You're less likely to win the lottery than to be involved in some sort of bridge incident. Have a nice day and please don't pull a Chappaquiddick.
