Pay No Attention to that War Behind the Curtain

Monday, September 25th, 2006

This image is from a screenshot of this week’s Newsweek site, showing the covers of the paper editions in various areas. Let’s play “One of these things is not like the others”. Notice anything different about the US edition? Where exactly are the signs of this “liberal media bias” thing I keep hearing about? Or did the editors […]

Bill Clinton Bitchslaps Chris Wallace on Fox News

Sunday, September 24th, 2006

Crooks and Liars has the video. Go watch it. It’s beautiful. Basically, Chris Wallace asked Clinton why he didn’t do more to kill or capture Osama bin Laden. Clinton went on a tear, explaining why the question is a load of dingo’s kidneys, how the GOoPers were whining about Clinton obsessing over bin Laden instead of […]

Pirate Mode Code

Saturday, September 23rd, 2006

I don’t know whether anyone noticed, but on Talk Like A Pirate Day, all the text on this site was converted to pirate lingo. This was done through quick and dirty JavaScript script that I consed up for the occasion. Feel free to steal download and use it.

Nuclear War Update: It Happened, Really!

Senate Gets an Early Start on the Weekend

Friday, September 22nd, 2006

In the sidebar of http://www.senate.gov/: Friday, Sep 22, 2006 The Senate convened at 9:30 a.m. and adjourned at 9:40 a.m. No record votes were taken. I wish I could come in for ten minutes and vote to give myself the rest of the day off. When I rule the world, there’ll be a time clock on Capitol Hill. […]

I Must’ve Slept Through the Nuclear War

Thursday, September 14th, 2006

As I mentioned earlier, Yisrayl Hawkins (formerly Buffalo Bill Hawkins) of the House of Yahweh predicted that there’d be a nuclear war on Sep. 12, 2006. And as you may have noticed, it didn’t happen. The good people at Boing Boing came up with a list of possible excuses that Hawkins could use to explain why the nuclear […]

Perhaps the Ultimate Pirate Video

Saturday, September 9th, 2006

It’s got everything: crappy music, worse dancing, puppets, pirates, Christian rap. Words cannot describe it. Update, Sep. 12, 2006: Favorite comment: “Can’t sleep, the puppets will eat me. “ Update, Sep. 13, 2006: Another good comment: “Okay America, we gave you religious freedom, and you do THIS with it […] Watching this, some would say the terrorists have […]

Mark Your Calendars: Nuclear War

Friday, September 8th, 2006

TheHouse of Yahweh has announced that nuclear war will start on Sep. 12, 2006. It’s not clear to me how they came up with this date, so allow me to speculate irresponsibly: the number of the beast is 666. 6 = 5 + 1, and Sep. 12, 2006 is five years and one day after the […]
