Doesn't Pelosi here look kind of like that Brain-sucking fungus thing on Aqua Teens -- and I mean that in the best way possible. The purple dude to the left here: I rule you! Me lawyer! The whole Bag News Notes post that I stole the Pelosi pic from is worth looking at. including his analysis of just how Nancy ruled him -- dba acting like a responsible, temperate adult.

I've always liked the episode of Star Trek in which the alien woman surgically removes Spock's brain from his skull, and McCoy rigs up a remote control so he can walk Spock around, and eventually puts Spock's brain back into his head, partly pretty much winging it after the knowledge from the badass alien teaching machine wears off, and all this without shaving Leonard Nimoy's head. What I

George Bush today noted that America has a “unique opportunity” because the Super Bowl competitors, the Indianapolis Colts and Chicago Bears, are located in states that share a common border. “Emotions are running high in both Indiana and Illinois. They have been enemies in the past and continue to be enemies,” Bush said at a meeting of GOP leaders. He continued, “I must protect America from

$10 says that Bush starts trying to insinuate the idea of "What's so bad about going to war for oil?" in his speech tonight, not so much because he thinks it'll have any effect in whatever debate occurs over escalation in Iraq*, as because of the need by his corporate sponsors to move the discourse in this direction, in the same way that they've been trying to normalize policies that previous

Yet another $1,000,000 idea: You take a group of 10 or 12 regular average folks and expose them to tuberculosis. Then you tape little "up close and personal" sessions with them, have them dance, sing (better to do this part early in the season before they all start coughing a lot), etc., and you give Cipro to the one who ends up most popular with the audience.

Via Pam, from Agape Press: The American Tract Society’s Donna Skell says Christians should give trick-or-treaters more than candy this Halloween. She suggests they wrap candy treats in gospel tracts that will grab children’s attention with fun cartoons and games. Some of the tracts offered by ATS this year even glow in the dark. Skell says Halloween offers Christians a great chance to share the

Idea for new Star Trek movie: William Shatner's hairpiece becomes separate, sentient being (maybe through radiation exposure). It flies, though you can see the wires sometimes, attaches self to women in inappropriate ways, becomes galactic menace. Some worship it as a God. Enterprise must pursue.

The United States landed on the moon, then within 50 years fragmented due to a series of wars abroad, political scandals (largely precipitated by either government secrecy or the exchange of money in the political process), and economic mismanagement. By 1992, the U.S. had successfully defeated the USSR (its rival in the so-called “Cold War,” a series of proxy wars, 1945-circa 1992, undergirded

It seems when Scooter’s not busy defrauding the country into a war, he’s writing the kind of hamhanded porn it would take a normal person nine bottles of robotussin to think up.

The more I think about the Nazi Olsen Twins story, the more disturbingly it seems to sum up the contemporary Zeitgeist.

So I found this picture of a dog, and I looked at it for a while before I realize it looks a fuck of a lot like the old character actor Walter Brennan: did a lot of Westerns, played Stumpy in Rio Bravo. He was also Bogart’s drunken first mate in To Have and Have Not, but I’m thinking when he was older:

I may have mentioned my love for the pulps somewhere in here, especially old covers, and within that by the work of Valigursky (who's apparently still out there somewhere), including for instance this immense golden flying key ring attacking a couple people on the sidewalk of the future: And my particular favorite, our hero (I guess) in a spaceship cooridor, wearing his underwear on the

About this time last year I was working on an article for an edited collection which was gonna be called Online Matchmaking: Rhetorical and Social Perspectives or something similar to that. The piece took the self-descriptions people wrote about themselves for their profiles and ran 'em through a little Bakhtinian stuff. Well, the book project never happened, and I recently gave some thought

Went through Shickshinny this morning, which is conveniently located well within the Susquehanna Steam Electric Station (aka Susquehanna Nuke Plant) ten-mile emergency planning zone (in terms of this map, I live right about where the start button on your taskbar is), home of the Shickshinny Opera House and HQ of the Shickshinny Knights of Malta (aka The American Grand Priory of The Sovereign

Fox is using a very long, incredibly moronic extended reference to Star Wars to introduce the Red Sox-Yankees game. Also, they're not even trying to hide anymore the fact that Reality TV is all about humiliating your neighbors for your edification and delight. The ads for "My Big Fat Obnoxious Boss" refers directly to something like "Watch these Ivy League MBAs get humiliated!"
