Quotable: Jon Stewart on USAttyGate

Look, to my mind, I don't know why Karl Rove can't just walk up to congress, put his hand on the Bible, and tell the fucking truth.

Pretty much sums it up.

21st Century Sports Injury

Well, I think I've got my first case of the 21st Century Sports Injury. On Saturday my new Wii arrived. Today alone, there were over 12 hours of play logged by me, Holly, Karen, and Briscoe.

About half of those, it seems, was me (mii) playing, and that, gentle reader, has caused my first bona-fide sports injury. Yes, I've managed to actually hurt my shoulder playing sports on a video game console.

Hillary's Videography

If you're reading this blog, you probably know I support Barack Obama for President in 2008. But like he says:
I welcome her [Hillary Clinton] and all the candidates, not as competitors but as allies in the work of getting our country back on track.

No matter what happens in our Democratic primary, at this point I'd happily vote for any of the top 3 in the general election.

O'Reilly on Colbert

Boy, was that a let down.

First of all, for the first time ever, Colbert was seated and let the guest walk out to applause. What. The. Fuck? Showing respect for the blowhard he makes fun of? Giving in for him? One word: lame.

Second of all, the interview was edited. It was clear they skipped around in a couple spots, and spliced things in. I've never ever seen that happen during a Colbert interview before, so I'm guessing it's because O'Reilly demanded it and Colbert gave in like a crying little baby.
