The vagaries of the Internetz often provide me with little pleasures – like this random series of characters that came up when TicketMaster attempted to prove there was a someone on the other end of the information superhighway:
Never say I don’t do nice things for the peoples I love…
Oh Jim Caple, just like that heartless ogre Shrek, you have the ability to maim with a zesty bon mot or two. Your words are the metaphorical salt in the deep psychological wounds I have been burdened with as a long-time Boston sports fan…
Everyone, and I mean everyone, should read this article…and this article. They help to illuminate the crazy ideas of those troop-hating liberals and how they “believe” neocons/theocons/anycons are ruining the United States.
On a slightly lighter note – one of my favorite bloggers writes a magazine article about my favorite agent of truthiness? Obviously, it’s going to get linked to in this blog. Enjoy, folks.

The Killers – Uncle Jonny
Apparently even the long-dead founder of the oldest university in the United States was pumped about Halo 3 coming out a few days ago…
Don’t worry, there’s much, much more coming soon, including discussion of the game and the other things that make up life. For now, good night kids…

The Cure – Pictures of You
So much for the myth of the liberal media. This comic is too funny (in a tragic way) not to republish here. Thanks to Tom Tomorrow for the art and the laughs.
I know that question might be taboo, as Dave Chappelle has so distinctly pointed out:
However, with that being said, this isn’t about national politics. Unlike the mainstream media, who are breathlessly reporting on every time Hilary Clinton kowtows to big business or Rudy Giuliani references 9/11 (which both happen every minute of every day) I realize that other Presidential election is still a year away. As such, it not worth exhaustive discussion or analysis. With that being said, there is a very important election going on currently – the election for the President of Red Sox Nation.
It is serious responsibility to be the chief spokesperson for the most passionate and widespread fan base in American sports. As such, it is important to get to know the front-runners a little better. In the inaugural discussion, we will examine the campaign of Mr. Peter Gammons, a longtime Red Sox fan and one of the most knowledgeable baseball writers of all time.
His platform, as articulated on RedSox.com, is as follows:
If elected, I make 10 promises:
Sounds like a pretty comprehensive, entertaining, and effective platform to me. There are plenty of other worthy candidates, so I am not officially endorsing Gammons as of yet, but he is off to a rip-roaring start. Good luck to all the candidates, and congratulations to the Red Sox for winning again tonight – keep it up, boys…
Like I need a reason to direct you towards good music, old and new?
P.S. Even Black Bush has to admit that the residents of Stankonia, like most Americans, are not behind the war in Iraq. Wait for it…wait for it…wait for it…around the 3:47 mark:
We miss you, Chappelle’s Show.
It’s funny because…well, because it’s funny. Everyone has imagined George Bush as a petulant little brat, and now it’s time to see him as such on the television.
According to CNN.com,
Comedy Central has ordered “Lil’ Bush: Resident of the United States,” a cartoon satire that re-imagines President Bush and key executives in his administration as elementary school misfits.
The title character is surrounded by close pals like Lil’ Cheney, who grumbles unintelligibly, and Lil’ Condi, who pines for Lil’ Bush and does his homework for him.
“Bush” is not without its risque moments. When Lil’ Bush’s school serves falafel instead of hot dogs for lunch in one episode, he and his pals torture the cafeteria employees with methods made famous during the Abu Ghraib prison scandal.
If there are three funnier paragraphs in the English language right now, I would love to hear them. Your thoughts, loyal readers?
This is my current list, now go make your own!
1. She is in Paris and I am not
2. She is wicked sketchy but has a pristine reputation, whereas I am cursed with the opposite situation. (I’m on the left here)
3. She is overly artsy and craftsy!
4. She is not at all self-conscious about what she says
5. She always blows off Dan and I for Quiznos
