Is this what's missing?
The Founding Fathers of the this country (the real ones not the once Michelle Bachman believes in) crafted a well function Government that has survived 237 years of trials. They wisely avoided large parts of already then established governments to create something unique. I just wish that they had framed the US House of Representatives to be more like the British House of Commons. Can you imagine President Obama on the House floor being cheered or jeered like this?
What you would get is something so much deeper. So many people only see the talking head news version of Obama....how would he react to being openly challenged in this way? C-Span could be the best reality TV channel on the planet!

It fell
I love the Foo Fighters. They may be one of the few ROCK bands left and I'm really enjoying their new album.
Their videos are usually awesome and this one for the new single Walk is no exception. It's a parody of one of my favorite movies, Falling Down.

Ground Control to Major Apple.
Apple is going to spend some of the billions in it's war chest to build itself a new headquarters/campus. The proposed building is exactly what you would expect from Apple....that is to say it is very cool.

GET FREE MONEY!!!
If this doesn't piss you off then you are an enormous moron. I hope that in my lifetime the scope and scale of the Bush Administration's damage to this country becomes apparent. The great GOP cash grab of 2008.

It's all clear now
I finally understand why George W. Bush didn't care about the Lower Ninth Ward. He was taking money from the Feral Chichttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifken Lobby.

Poor Choices
Ever feel like you made the wrong career choice? Where was my high school guidance counselor on this one? If there had been a "Exciting Career in Bra Fitting" brochure I think I'd have picked that one up.
FAIL!
It's only 10:00AM and I promise you that this is the funniest news story that you will see all day.
Although I have to admit that a Palin/Bachman debate could actually be the funniest (read: saddest) thing that could ever be broadcast.

WTF? Tiger Blood edition.
Is Charlie Sheen a complete, raving lunatic or a genius that is playing the entire media world? I thought he was just plain crazy until I saw this....no crazy person is this self aware.

Banging 7 gram rocks.
Wow...Charlie Sheen has really gone round the bend. This remix of his interview is epic.
The ultimate party of insanity would be hanging with Sheen, Muammar Gaddafi and the ghost of Sam Kinison....that would be pretty sweet.

The Revolution will be Tweeted
For the second time in my life I have witnessed a true revolution. The masses took the the streets of Egypt and would not be ignored. Some of the images straight from the streets are just amazing.
I have many memories of the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of the former Eastern Bloc but what most don't realize is that process took months to years. The Egyptian people overthrew a thirty year dictatorship in a matter of DAYS. If that is not a stunning testament to the power of modern communication technology and social media then I don't know what could possibly be.
I just hope that this atmosphere of unity that the Egyptian people have displayed can be maintained and that they can actually form a viable Democracy in the Middle East. If the most populous Arab nation can do that they may actually be able to pull that region out of it's terrible history for brutal dictatorships and harsh religious regimes.

Cold Warriors
This story about the Navy's latest unmanned drone aircraft is pretty cool and I nearly posted about it last week but meh. Just another step towards a Skynet style enslavement of mankind.
However today I ran across the video below which paired with the story above is amazing and shows just how far our military has advanced in the last 25 years.
link may be NSFW:
What you just watched is an example of a by-gone era of military readiness. The launching of SAC bombers and tankers as quickly as possible in the event that a Russian ICBM was heading towards their base. I was lucky enough as a kid to see the B-52 bomber take off and land several times and it was quite an experience. By the way, in SAC speak BUFF stands for Big Ugly Fat Fucker (Fellow if ladies are in attendance). Sad to think that most of these amazing aircraft and the entire SAC facility in this video are a distant memory now long gone.
If you want to see a dramatized version of what our "stand off" bomber practices were at the end of the Cold War then I highly recommend the 1990 movie By Dawn's Early Light. It scared the hell out of me as a kid, I only lived 20 miles from a SAC base....

Pure Genius
Hey, if you're on disability because you got blown up by a land mine in Vietnam the GOP wants to make sure that you can be proud that your country honors it's debts first. But you won't be getting that check from Uncle Sam for a few months....is that okay with you?
Just....wow.
Just....wow.

More money than talent.
Let's say you are:
1. The son of a famous actor.
2. Given the status of your parents you are at least well off if not stinking rich.
3. The whitest of white boys attending a Midwestern University. Hence the Latin tattoo.
4. A member of a Fraternity. Again see tattoo, THIS IS SPARTA!!!
Now given those facts about yourself what is your most likely past time/future career going to be?
Did you guess rap music superstar? No? Funny because that's what Tom Hanks' son is all about.
I bet he drives an orange(maybe black) Range Rover Sport with big ass chrome wheels and calls every one his homie/bro. Also, Chet Haze sounds like the French Pronunciation of a STD.
Oh and Beats by Dre headphones, seriously? Talk about pegging yourself as a fashionable wannabe rapper/DJ. No decent DJ would be caught dead with that over-rated Monster made shit.
