So apparently American Cinema isn’t as big in Japan as it should be. Because the Japs don’t see the sheer folly in giving their robots lasers and teaching them how to fight.

If you enjoy watching time slip away, here’s a new screen saver you might like.  It drops large numbers (the actual time) into water with all the cool splashes in slow motion.  Pretty sweet looking but be warned it’s 150 MB download - not your typical lite screensaver.

I heard about this and I just had to laugh. Rush Limbaugh has elicited the help of his call screener Bo Snerdley to criticize Obama in areas requiring an African American perspective. Mr. Snerdley offers his criticism twice - once for whitey and once for the brothers. The translation alone makes it worth the read:

This is Bo Snerdley, official criticizer for the EIB Network, certified black enough to criticize. I have a statement. Senator Obama, we understand the need for you to take time off with your family, but this is a presidential race, and while you were away, your former pastor, Jeremiah Wright, continued making news. Now he’s attacking Italian-Americans, referring to them as garlic noses. Senator Obama, one of your platforms is that you would speak to America’s enemies, persuade them somehow to become our friends. Yet you apparently can’t even speak with your friend, your former pastor, after all that has happened in recent weeks and persuade him to just be quiet, for the sake of your own campaign to be quiet and for the sake of unity. Mr. Obama, we’re losing hope, and it’s very sad.

And now the translation for the brothers and the sisters in the EIB community: Yo Barack, I had you confused with the brother that knows how to throw down. Your homey, first he goes out and disses the World War II vets, he disses us dropping the bomb to win a war, then he lifts some lines from brother Malcolm. All right, all right, that was cool. But after all that, it starts to blow over. What does he do? He comes out and disses the Italians. What’s next, bro? He’s going to diss the Jews? Yo, Obama, tell your homey to shut up, at least, man, until you win. Your main B man, he sounds like he’s hooked on madness, and what are you doing? Chilling somewhere out in the Caribbean. Yo, bro, you in the game, you wanted to be in the game, now you in the game. In the game, you either play or you get played. And bro, you’re getting played out by your homey, Reverend Wright. That concludes our statement.

Can you pass this witty and different observation test put out by the Brits?

In response the the Georgia Legislature believing it prudent to move Georgia’s northern border into Tennessee, the Mayor of Chattanooga issued the following proclamation:

PROCLAMATION

WHEREAS, it has come to pass that the heavens are shut up and a drought of Biblical proportions has been visited upon the Southern United States, and

WHEREAS, the parched and dry conditions have weighed heavily upon the State of Georgia and sorely afflicted those who inhabit the Great City of Atlanta, and

Ah Vegas, always something going on. On a trip to see the versatile Billy Joel we ran in my boy, Anthony Anderson. He was there doing a poker tournament for BET. Nelly and that guy from ER attended as well. It should air early 08.

While we were there Planet Hollywood christened it’s new casino with all the PH A listers attending. We didn’t have a chance to see Bruce and others due to the concert, but we did get a chance to meet Wyland at his gallery shortly before the show. Wyland of course is the big name in oceanic art (you know someone’s big when they only need one name ;). Look for his next big piece will be a huge mural for the Olympic Games in China.

While Vegas is fun, the time share people are getting a little pushy. My next visit, I’m planning on wearing a custom T that says “No, I don’t want you damn time share!”. We’ll have to wait and see how effective that is…

UPDATE: oops this accidentally got posted under Nov 08 instead of 07… I wondered why it wasn’t showing up…

Found this at NeuralGraffiti.com.  The interview is hysterical, because Jon just won’t let it go… I have said this before but I love that Stewart while is a Dem and a Lib, he will still call people out when they go off the cliff.

The forced laugh from Matthews seem Hillary-esk.  The crux of it shows up when Jon tries to point out that the book favors winning over doing the right thing - Matthews corrects that winning IS the right thing to do.

Talk about slide burn…
