I, Too, Would Like to Practice My Love

Wotta maroon.

Team America: World Police

Will it rock, suck or be so-so? It's always hard to tell with the South Park guys. No matter what, you have to admire them for getting Paramount to fund a movie with "Thunderbirds"-style puppets. (Or Orbitz-style for you kids out there.)

The movie comes out next month. Pre-judge for yourself at the official site.

The Ten Most Hated Men in Rock

We like lists.

Zell Miller

More kookiness.

This was their keynote speaker??!? And we're behind in the polls?!!?

Andrew Sullivan

Just watched him on Bill Maher, where he seemed to still have one foot in the Republican party. If you haven't heard of him, he's a conservative, old-school (meaning fiscally conservative, small-government) Republican who happens to be gay. This leads to obvious cognitive dissonance when he tries to be supportive of the current administration, and he finally seems to have cracked.

Read the whole post -- it's a bit long, but worthwhile.

Lucy is Forever

Or could be, if I want to pony up a couple of grand to wear that dumb cat on my finger after she sloughs off this mortal coil.

Sometimes Democrats Lie, Too

Say, when giving the keynote address at the Republican National Convention.

The flip side of the one Frank warned you about...

Don't look at this pic.

Kerry: Bush Is 'Unfit To Lead'

Ooooh, snap!

We all saw the anger and distortion of the Republican Convention. For the past week, they attacked my patriotism and my fitness to serve as Commander-in-chief. We’ll, here’s my answer. I’m not going to have my commitment to defend this country questioned by those who refused to serve when they could have and by those who have misled the nation into Iraq.

The Vice President even called me unfit for office last night. I guess I'll leave it up to the voters whether five deferments makes someone more qualified to defend this nation than two tours of duty.

Let me tell you what I think makes someone unfit for duty. Misleading our nation into war in Iraq makes you unfit to lead this nation. Doing nothing while this nation loses millions of jobs makes you unfit to lead this nation. Letting 45 million Americans go without healthcare makes you unfit to lead this nation. Letting the Saudi Royal Family control our energy costs makes you unfit to lead this nation. Handing out billions of government contracts to Halliburton while you're still on their payroll makes you unfit. That's the record of George Bush and Dick Cheney. And it's not going to change. I believe it's time to move America in a new direction; I believe it's time to set a new course for America.

We're Officially a Banana Republic

We've got a fascist leader who aspires to dicatorship, smears his critics as unpatriotic liars who give aid and comfort to the enemy, and walks around in military garb and medals he never earned. Sounds a lot more like Idi Amin than Abe Lincoln to me.

Two More Months! Two More Months!

There are video clips of the RNC 1/3 the way down this page (Flash 7 required).

Kobe Rape Charges to be Dropped

Prosecutors will ask for Kobe dismissal. Alleged victim unwilling to testify.

Lakers still expected to suck in coming season.

Text of Last Night's Speech by Jenna and Barbara Bush

Apparently it was squirmingly bad -- even Republicans who watched it seem embarrassed by it. I didn't see it, but on paper, it's just dull and unfunny.
