Thad McCotter has fun with antonyms
Congratulations, Congressman Thad. You found out how to use a thesaurus, and you put it on big placards and read it on the floor of the House. Hilarious!
Mike Gravel, are you OK, buddy?
I don’t really know what to say. Last time I wrote about Gravel, I said he was stuck in a permanent acid trip. Then I watched this video.
What?

Ridiculous Shadow Puppeteer
Google Docs took Valentine's Day way too far
Google Docs adapted their web layout to be all pink and heart-y and cute for Valentine’s Day. It makes me want to vomit. Next time, just do a cute logo and call it a day. Srsly.
Mike Gravel is stuck in a permanent acid trip from 1976
I can think of no other logical explanation for this country/rap/rock cartoon production from Gravel’s campaign:
I could take on 25 five-year-olds.
How many could you take on? Take the test.
"We really do not know what to do next."
The crocodile’s owner [...] said he could only collect it Monday because of circus commitments.
My Journey to the Depths of the Internet
I just took a journey to what I imagine to be one of the outer circles of the Internet; if I read Dante I’m sure I could make a more specific, or correct, analogy. Anyway, this was so bizarre that I wanted to document it. I hope this serves as a lesson to everyone: get off the goddam Internet.
Curious about my co-worker Beth’s gtalk away message, I was directed to this link: a webpage inspired by an xkcd comic that calculates how much it’d cost you to fill a room with multi-colored playpen balls. Still with me? Good.
CNN discovers email forwarding.
It appears that the crack news team over at CNN.com did some investigating and found out that people forward email with funny pictures in them. This truly earth-shattering revelation was linked on the front page of the number one name in news. Check out the stunning details:
Dude, you have got to see this. Look in your in-box. Right there between the chain letter promising never-ending good fortune and the Top 10 list of reasons why cats are better than dogs. There it is: An e-mail filled with goofy images of sometimes dubious origins.If you’re like most people, you receive several of these offbeat e-mails each week.
The subject line says something like, “FWD: Re: RE: You think you’re having a bad day?” The images of crushed trucks, endangered daredevils and a horse gone through the front windshield of a car may or may not be genuine, but they certainly are incredible.
Such messages have their roots in chain letters that were once mailed out in paper form. Nowadays, the Internet allows for quick distribution of text, photos and video to many people at a time.
Lerick Johnson, 51, of Alliance, Nebraska, says he and his friends like to send funny photos and messages to each other and forward them on to friends and family. A few years ago, he went looking for Halloween pumpkin carving ideas and ended up sending photos of the more unusual jack-o’-lanterns as a mass e-mail. The photos are circulating again this year.
Stop, stop. You’re saying I can send things to people via email? Fuck off. No way. You’re lying.
I must stop writing. I have to go read I-Reporters’ stories of their mass e-mail horror stories. Have you seen the one with the redneck pictures?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!? LOLzzz!
Deck.
I found this project I did junior year of college for a film class (along with Alex Bonwit, one of the film’s stars). Enjoy.
Gumption.
President Hugo Chavez wants Venezuelan clocks turned back half an hour and he wants it done in record time — next Monday.“I don’t care if they call me crazy, the new time will go ahead, let them call me whatever they want,” Chavez said on his weekly TV show. “I’m not to blame. I received a recommendation and said I liked the idea.”
The shift will allow children to wake up for school in daylight instead of before sunrise, Chavez said.
Rep. Eric Cantor’s (R-VA) staff did a video choose-your-own-adventure featuring his interns on the exciting subject of taxes or something, I forgot already because this is SO UNBELIEVABLY PAINFUL OMG!!!!1
"I do tears"
President Bush told the author of a new book on his presidency that “I try not to wear my worries on my sleeve” or show anything less than steadfastness in public, especially in a time of war.“I fully understand that the enemy watches me, the Iraqis are watching me, the troops watch me, and the people watch me,” he said. Yet, he said, “I do tears.”
“I’ve got God’s shoulder to cry on. And I cry a lot. I do a lot of crying in this job. I’ll bet I’ve shed more tears than you can count, as president. I’ll shed some tomorrow.”
I do tears. Jesus fucking Christ is it January 2009 yet?
I introduce this video without comment.
This sounds pleasant. “An evangelical military entertainment group” is sending “freedom packets” of supplies to troops in Iraq. Included is the controversial video game “Left Behind,” which promotes the killing of non-Christians. The lucky troops will also receive a Christian extreme sports DVD, a pocket Bible, and tips on dealing with post-traumatic stress disorder, like “tough man meetings.”
