I guess there's some news about this thing or they did a press release or something. We talked about it way back in 2008, but here it is, and it is awesome. -hendred
Mitt Romney tells the Tea Baggers to suck it up if they lose a primary. He's worrying about them Naderining the election. It sounds like he might want to start advocating one of the runoff/preference election schemes. Anyway, the comments are pretty darn good. Look for names like "Time to Waterboard the Republicans" and "Obama=Romney". -hendred the amused
Limbaugh promises to move to Costa Rica if the health care bill passes. Costa Rica has... wait for it... universal health care. On the plus side, he could probably get free Oxy, rather than sending his maid out for it. Disclaimer: link is to Daily Kos, home of the America-hating, godless commie terror-supporters. -hendred, wishing a call to his Senator would help
Wholesale cable channel prices. It's hard to believe Comedy Central is .14 and SPEED is .20. Subsidizing Fox News makes me something-something. Maybe I could send ESPN a buck to watch the X games... all 20 minutes worth.
Someone also broke this down in August 2008 on a cost per-viewer basis.

The "Brutal" Oscar campaign That's brutal as in "My feet hurt and I'm tired" not "I'm starving in Africa with HIV". It's a process piece on any political campaign from mayor to President with more attractive people and issues people can easily understand.
On a side note, writing more than a paragraph about Kathryn Bigelow and not mentioning that she directed Point Break is unforgivable. -hendred
From Brick and Ryan: I just heard about this via family living in Pittsburgh.
The man was found Sunday afternoon by one of the friend's roommates at the Pi Kappa Alpha house.
Pittsburgh people - can you keep us updated?
These are the Worst performances of the year. She 'won' for All About Steve. I think Tom Green was the last person to show up. -hendred
TED Talk on Microsoft's Pivot. Another demo here.
Seems like there probably lots of processing needed to get the data in a usable form, so I'm not sure how widespread this could become. And if you forgot Songsmith, here it is. -decker
Vatican choir member canned for obtaining gay Fred Garvins for a papal gentleman-in-waiting. -hendred the Reformed
The transcripts imply that over a period of around five months in 2008, Ehiem procured for Balducci at least 10 contacts with, among others, "two black Cuban lads", a former male model from Naples, and a rugby player from Rome.
Admittedly I haven't been paying much attention to the Buggy (what with the wife and the kids and all that), other than dreaming up Decade of Zeus t-shirt designs, but this comment from last fall from Carl made me laugh out loud. -hendred
Oh, and please guys, we're buggy people. We turned an innocent quasi-parade float contest into this ridiculousness. We can hack, jam or disable an onboard system. I'm convinced we could cure cancer if it meant that PiKA would never win again.
Krugman uses the Bunning blockade to extrapolate Republican vs. Democratic viewpoints. It's not a particularly good piece, but there was one bit that left me dumbfounded. -hendred
Consider, in particular, the position that Mr. Kyl has taken on a proposed bill that would extend unemployment benefits and health insurance subsidies for the jobless for the rest of the year. Republicans will block that bill, said Mr. Kyl, unless they get a “path forward fairly soon” on the estate tax.
Now, the House has already passed a bill that, by exempting the assets of couples up to $7 million, would leave 99.75 percent of estates tax-free. But that doesn’t seem to be enough for Mr. Kyl; he’s willing to hold up desperately needed aid to the unemployed on behalf of the remaining 0.25 percent.
Sororities make girls feel worse about their bodies. Also, water is wet. -hendred
Anti-gay State Senator pulled over for drunk driving after leaving gay bar. I feel like this is a recurring theme: anti-gay politician turns out to be really gay. It's probably safe to just start assuming it to be true. Stolen from hendred's Buzz feed. -decker
How Reagan Ruined Conservatism. The author claims that modern conservatives imitate the worst of his presidency and ignore the best. -decker
