As usual, the Oscars were predictable, Sean Penn was political, and Bill Maher was incorrigible.
Other than that, it was a pretty decent show. I enjoyed Hugh Jackman’s hosting (though the top-hat dance routine was very un-Wolverine-ish, and his declaration that “the musical is back!” might be premature — or incorrect altogether), and I liked that [...]
One must admit that despite the fact that the best I could do for the Joker picture is what I found below, they do share more than a passing resemblance, smile-wise. And more than that…
After all, the guy invented the internet, right? Now that that particular venture has taken off, he seems to be redoubling his efforts to transform global warming from a half-baked (pardon the pun) scientific scare-fest into an actual reality with his new “energy efficient” home.

I was listening to the radio on my way into work this morning and hearing all about Barack Obama’s one trillion(!) dollar spending plan to somehow jumpstart the economy (by taking away all our money).

However, that work and that perspective has allowed her to form opinions that others in [...]
Yeah, the 300 trailer parodies and mashups are getting pretty tired. Still, I thought this one was really funny and worth passing on. Thanks to one of my co-workers for digging this up.
And I know it’s the third video post I’ve made this week, but at least I’m posting, right? Anybody?
*crickets*
Okay…anyway, here’s [...]
Video number two for the week. “And Huckabee pulls ahead!” Maybe. But this helps.
Thanks to Carl for the video. And if you don’t totally get the joke, this and this should assist.
Citing my enjoyment of a witty repartee, I recently posted what amounted to a polite verbal smackdown. In that realm of riposting, though not nearly as subtle nor quite as clever as the previous example, is the following opinion/analysis of Al Gore’s recent Nobel Prize win. This article is courtesy of UnionLeader.com and was sent [...]
Al Franken or The Joker?:
