Correction on the Sarah Palin blog.

Thanks to reader Bluiis, (Again, Carol, is that you?) I see that this story was in fact one of the Internet's many hoaxes.
Website Super Tuesday News, an Onion wannabe, originally posted this story as a hoax and it sucked in a lot of people, including me.  Of course this brings to mind the importance of proper research before posting, but then again I'm a blogger and therefore not bound by any sort of journalistic integrity.

It's raining snails from the sky!  Uzbekistan is behind the snail-raining plot!  There; see how easy it is?

Michael Jackson - Thriller (A Cappella)

Take notes, Glee kids.

THIS is how you do Michael Jackson's Thriller a Capella.

P.S.  You suck.

Please don't vote this idiot into the presidency.

Um, wat?

DALLAS, TX - Potential 2012 presidential candidate Sarah Palin says that if she were president, she would deport pop star Christina Aguilera for botching a portion of The Star-Spangled Banner during her performance at Super Bowl XLV. Making an appearance on Sean Hannity’s radio program on Monday, Palin pointedly criticized Aguilera’s gaffe, and called her out for exhibiting ‘diva behavior.’

“Quite frankly, Sean, public figures must be held accountable for what they say,” explained Palin. “Here’s another case of an airhead diva going on TV, running her mouth off, sounding like a fool. She doesn’t understand something so basic about America, yet we’re supposed to tolerate her diva behavior? Americans can see through that, Sean.”

Palin also levied criticism on the Obama administration for allowing “spicy Latin princesses” to do the jobs of American pop divas. “Unemployment is at nine percent, yet we have to suffer through a performance by a foreigner with a poor grasp of the English language? If I were president, I’d deport Ms. Aguilera back to wherever it is she’s from and give Amy Smart a call.”

You do realize she was born in New York, right?  And that bumbling your words (as embarrassing as it is when singing the national anthem,) is not necessarily the same thing as running your mouth off?

Also, I was not aware that Amy Smart was even a singer.  I guess you learn something new every day.

This happened the other day.  Not a fun five minutes of my life.

Thank you, Photoshop Science.

Hey, did you guys know that the complete Cosmos is available on Hulu.com right now?
What?  You've never watched Casmos and you have no idea who Carl Sagan is?

By Science, it's about time you learned!

Also, Carl Sagan with an armored bear.  Just because.

By the way, that there colored text up top is a link directly to the page on Hulu. Click it for Science-y justice.

 I wholeheartedly love this and am now dying to see more.

Jackass doesn't deserve to have a dog.

Do you see this adorbale Corgi? His name is Corky.
I found him tied up in the blistering sunlight outside the library this morning.
He had no water and he was going crazy trying to get away from the leash you tied him to.

You're very lucky I didn't call the sherrif's department.  Heck, you're lucky the library's manager put out a call over the PA system for you to come get Corky; if she had waited a few more seconds to take action I would have called the sherrif's department... which, incidentally, was right across the street from the library.

Next time you get it in your head to abuse an animal, remember that there are those of us out there that won't put up with that crap and will have your dog taken away from you so you can't abuse him any more.

Jackass.

Funny story: as the spider went flying away, I'm fairly certain I heard him shout "EXTREME!"

So, someone tagged my house last night.  As we were leaving for breakfast, my wife gasped and pointed out the vandalism.

Our fence has been tagged before, but never the house itself.  Giant orange and black... squiggles.  All over the side of the thing.

...Which, of course, just makes me want to figure out which gang sports those colors so I can track them down and ask them to at least make a little effort with their vandalism, maybe drive them down to Chicano Park, show them this fascinating book about the history of graffiti... seriously, if you've got it in your head to mark up someone's house, at least try to not come across as an epileptic octopus.  Make it inventive and visually interesting to look at.

Oh, and tag someone else's house next time.
