‘It’s hard to take risks’

Thanks, chums, for the CDs. I dig, a lot. Today I’ve been a big sack of lazy. I don’t know why it is that on the one day a week when I have a crap ton of time to get stuff done, I lie around in pajamas the longest. Oh, wait, yeah, I do know. Because I am human. Hear me doze. Also, I spent the morning recuperating from last night’s inaugural Yarbro–Dill potluck, which…

Boo-ya

The debate is on. AWESOME. McCain bluffed, Obama called it, and now who looks like a dumbass? I’ll be at work, so I won’t be able to watch it properly, but I’m excited as hell anyway. Now. Here’s some levity I stole from Fritz: See more funny videos and funny pictures at CollegeHumor.

Oh, and?

:) UPDATE: Um, I was afraid this was going to happen. Note to Newseum: It would be super duper awesome if you’d create permalinks for the daily front page analysis. That way, when bloggers link to, say, the analysis of all the Obama nomination front pages, they don’t come back the next day and see that their link now goes to some malarky about hockey. So, anyway, my smiley was a brief and lazy way…

No, really

Just suffered through a round of “Obama is the antichrist!!! It is prophesied, omfg!!!” at the family compound. Chewed holes in my tongue but managed not to get worked up or say a single word. Never realized how effing paranoid my family can be. Ho. Lee. Shit.

This is not parody

Holy hell. I just had a chance to watch the Bush-endorsing-McCain press conference. Some thoughts: • McCain looks embarrassed, like he’s had to bring his father to Show and Tell and dad’s been slamming wine coolers and won’t shut up and keeps talking over him and saying what a great kid he is now that he doesn’t wet the bed or eat his boogers anymore. • Watch at 8:49 and see if you hear him…

politics the family those crazy Christians

Yeah, well I heard he favors diggings up corpses and re-killings them!

From one of many e-mails I’ve received from someone in my family who really, really does not want me to vote for Barack Obama: Voting records show that he is also the most liberal senator in the U.S. Senate. He is an ardent supporter of killing unborn babies. I have heard that he even favors killings babies after they are born. But that is okay because (1) he is a good speaker, (3) he is…

We’re doooooomed!

I just watched the replay of the Republican YouTube debate from last night. As usual, I have some poorly thought out and superficial observations, based on my incomplete viewing because freaking Headline News Local Edition kept cutting in to tell me about Hannah Montana and the cold front that’s coming. • WTF is Mitt Romney’s hair made of? Cellophane? Robot cellophane? • I have always had a soft spot for John McCain, even though he…

Frivolous TV show observation

Is it just me, or was John McCain a huge dick on the Daily Show last night? Part one: Part two: Blah blah blah talking-over-each-other hooey. Has McCain always been so smug? Seems like his recent unpopularity with generous lefties (remember when he was every lefty’s favorite conservative “straight shooter”?) has really brought out his inner asshole. Which is fine; I’m all for people exposing their inner assholes (as filthy as it sounds). It just…
