And one last thing…

Entertainment

I’m surprised that Johno never reacted to the Eminem is like Pat Boone comment.

Operation: More Than Meets The Eye

Entertainment

WKYC news in Ohio reports that Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots is among those helping to liberate Iraq.

n.b. Optimus Prime is evidently a resident of Mansfield, Ohio.

Well, of course he is.

My Idea of Threat Level

Entertainment

The threat index should reflect not the danger that we are facing, but rather the danger the rest of the world faces from our righteous wrath.

excuse the lack of pretty graphics, nice tables and so on. I’m just a caveman, and I don’t understand your strange html technology.

Green: Copasetic. I’m okay, you’re okay.

Blue: Pissy. You’re starting to get me irritated. Back off.

Yellow: Angry. Keep it, up asshole, and you’re toast.

Orange: Twitchy. Locked, Loaded, Looking for targets.

and..

Red: All out of bubblegum. We have just opened a 20,000lb., laser designated, GPS guided, bunker penetrating, fuel air explosive can of whoop ass ten feet from your door. Kiss your sorry ass goodbye.

We could even have different threat levels for different regions. France should always be on Orange. Just like those rotten bastards, the Norwegians.

A couple (funny, positive) things about France

Entertainment

1) On Saturday Night Live this weekend, during “Weekend Update” Tina Fey discussed the whole Freedom Fries thing, wrapping up the story with this: “In other news, France’s Parliament voted this week to rename ‘American Cheese’, ‘Idiot Cheese.’”

2) This image. (Thanks, Instapundit!)

Jewish PR

Entertainment

If “the Jews” really ran the world, don’t you think they’d give themselves better PR? This crap with Moran and Buchanan is just utterly, weepingly, stupid. As the WaPost puts it:

There are plenty of good reasons to be against bombing Baghdad. But to portray President Bush’s heartfelt desire to rid the world of a dictator and his weapons of mass destruction as part of a Jewish conspiracy is, somehow, insulting.

Damn straight.

As someone who does have misgivings about the Iraq portion of “America’s New War” (thanks, CNN!), it gets harder and harder to defend those misgivings when one batch of crazies is bent on making everything about Oil, Stalin, and Hitler, and another batch of crazies is willing to blame some “International Jewish Conspiracy.” I believe in Buckethead’s words that makes them all ‘mendacious f*ckwits.’

Sounds about right.

Ok, not ALL about the Missi Elliott

Entertainment

Just mostly. It’s also very much about “Do You Know The Difference Between Big Wood And Brush: The American Song Poem Anthology”. As a very astute review in the Observer noted, this 28-song collection is like a phantom radio transmission from what Greil Marcus called the “old, weird America.”

ve been trying to explain this to people, and I just can’t. I end up reduced to gestures, incapable of explaining exactly what’s go great-- just that it is.

Go out and pick this up, support the good peopel at Bar/None records, and let your mind unwind to such gems as “Jimmy Carter Says ‘Yes’,” “Blind Man’s Penis,” and “Maker of Smooth Music.”
