McCain names VP
I know my opinion doesn’t count because I voted for Kerry, but, this is weird right? Is there something I’m missing or is this as obvious as Brooks & Dunn at Obama’s acceptance speech? Good thing Brooks & Dunn won’t be negotiating with Russia if Obama dies of old age.
Rush plays “Tom Sawyer” on Rock Band backstage at Colbert
Check-out this clip of Rush attempting to play “Tom Sawyer” on Rock Band whilst backstage at the Colbert Report. Pretty amusing, especially when you know that Neil Peart often refers to this song as their catalogue’s most difficult to play live. When I tell people I’m a big Rush fan, they usually either reference [...]
Michael Lehrer stunts City Hall in Vegas
Michael Lehrer, who I’ve met a few times and think is very funny, is performing in the Second City show in Vegas now and recently went to City Hall to “voice his concerns.” This is a series of clips from his speech. Enjoy.
Illinois Hugs It Out!
Missing your daily fix of Justin Kaufmann? Well, he’s busy breaking the crazy man love stories at the DNC. Turns out Illinois is also saying “Yes We Can”… when it comes to hugging your biggest political enemy. Maybe Barack can bring this country together! If you haven’t heard this story, or seen the amazing footage [...]
Manfred Krug Break
You’re more than half way through the day, take a Manfred Krug Break. You…you’ve earned it.
Don’t be fooled, it’s still McDonald’s
Last week, while vacationing in northern Michigan, we made a quick trip into town to check email. Gaylord, Michigan has but a couple of coffee shops with free wireless — but we’d heard that the New New is to check email at the McDonald’s in town. Bad call. No matter how many [...]
“Jesus Joe, get a shovel.”
Awk-ward, and fascinating. Usually moments of spontaneity aren’t on the cue cards or they’re reserved for the fake-spontaneous-people-yelling-each-other-show. Maybe it wasn’t so bad that Olberman needed to speak up, but more entertaining that he did. I’m fascinated by the things they accuse OBama of. But listen to Joe Scarborough puffing up Obama’s missteps, we’ve redefined [...]
F&$# Schadenfreude.net
Seriously, this site sucks. I wish I had a guy who blogged from the DNC instead. What up all, I’m live from Denver. I’m blogging the convention for Chicago Public Radio. It’s cool, but the IL democrats kind of hate the media so we have to deal with that. Can you blame em? Anyway, I’m [...]
Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.
Jason Statham is one of my favorite genres. I’d watch him eat soup. Though I heard War sucked, which it has no right to.
Thanks 90’s
I seem to remember sexism and virtual reality, and that they would make anything CongoSphere wrote into a movie at the time.
