- Tom Reilly says he’ll campaign without a running mate.
Well, if all else fails, Tom, that’s a pretty good idea. Oh yeah — all
else did fail… - Ya know, I like some of the Black Eyed Peas’ stuff… but is “My
Humps” truly the single stupidest song ever written? It makes “Louie
Louie” sound like “Art of the Fugue.” - Local TV take notice: “Breaking News” should be, like,
“Breaking”. And relevant to people’s actual lives or safety. Sam Alito
getting confirmed is not “breaking news”, nor is some car chase in
Denver or LA. - Have you seen that cereal called “Optimum Zen”? Or seen the
yogurt ad where a woman gushes, “It’s like karma and zen all mixed
together!” Are Asians so careless with Western religious terms in their
branding? Do they nibble on “Talmud Puffs”, or snack on
“Transubstantiation Crunch”? Just asking. - Flipped past “The Biggest Loser” on TV tonight. Of course, NBC
has their ubiquitous ghost-image of the peacock and the Olympic rings,
so I thought for a minute this was an Olympic sport. Dude, we’d totally
crush the world in that — who could possibly lose as much weight as
Americans? USA! USA! USA! - Kos

administration says he didn’t literally mean all those cool
things about oil independence in 20 years. Seems like just last
night when I said, “Wouldn’t it be great if you
could
believe a damn word this guy says?”But perhaps I’m just being snide. Maybe he meant it poetically:
Breakthroughs on this and
other new technologies
will help us reach an-
other great goal: to
replace more than seventy
five percent
of ouroil imports from the
Middle East by Twenty Twen-
Ty Five (a-boom-boom).
Those are the worst #@%@ haikus ever. Hmm… maybe iambic pentameter?<span

ty-five percent
of our oil imports fromthe Middle East by 2025.
Still lame. But it lines up better. I’m willing to entertain that he
meant the lines allegorically — or maybe they’re a special
super-secret code! Neato!

Nope. When Asia starts culturally appropriating Western culture and using it to sell crap, then we’ll know that the global balance of power is really shifting…

Certainly one of the dumbest songs ever, but I kinda dig it. Thankfully, I have yet to see the video.

The Energy Department will begin laying off researchers at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in the next week or two because of cuts to its budget.
A veteran researcher said the staff had been told that the cuts would be concentrated among researchers in wind and biomass, which includes ethanol. Those are two of the technologies that Mr. Bush cited on Tuesday night as holding the promise to replace part of the nation’s oil imports.

How do I interpret what the president says? Simply: If he says something, that means either it’s not true, or in rare cases it’s coincidentally true but he didn’t realize it.
