How the Sausage Doesn't Get Made

The thing that I love about The Daily Show is the way it just has a knack for encapsulating everything that frustrates me about the absurdity of politics. Last night for example....
Look at it Stewart! Look at it! This is how the sausage doesn't get made!

A President's Job is Hard...

You're the most powerful man in the world but everyone wants a piece of you. You start out able to do no wrong but public opinion turns and you can't seem to do anything right.

Before—2008:
From Squeezing My Mind Grapes


And after—2010:
From Spock Is Not Impressed

XKCD Does it Again

I hate to say it, or rather write it, but yeah this is more accurate....
We live in a world where there are actual fleets of robot assassins patrolling the skies. At some point there, we left the present and entered the future.

Best Barney Episode Ever!

I noticed this on Cracked. There is something so satisfying about seeing something like this after a long hard day. I just had to laugh.

Little Touchscreen Tramp...

I tried to resist the urge to buy a Palm Pre. Really I did. I had decided to at least wait until there was an unlocked GSM model. But the little beauty seduced me with its smooth curves, speedy processor, and beautiful operating system. It's not entirely my fault; my steady, the T-Mobile G1 and I have always had a complicated relationship. One minute she was quirky and fun, the next minute she was slow and weird. And there was the Palm Pre, beautiful and fast. I never had a chance....

Hulu Ad Nauseum

Hulu is great for watching TV on your computer. And since newer TVs often have VGA ports, it's easier than ever to hook up your computer to your TV. All in all it's a pretty sweet experience. But sometimes the ads can get a bit annoying....

Election 2008 In Photoshop

As the election draws to a close, I thought I'd post some of the many photoshop pictures that I've collected )mostly on FARK because it's so much easier to post a bunch of silly pictures than to make cogent, logical arguments to justify your political opinions.

From the hard fought primaries:






A charismatic young leader emerges on one side:



And a grizzled veteran on the other:



And the election had begun in earnest:



Most of the 'shops were pretty geeky:





Others were tailored to the headlines and sound bites of the day:






Some of the 'shops were truly elaborate:




Not all of the funny images were photoshops, some were just unfortunate:



Going negative:




But in the end, a final winner had to emerge:

Debate Deja Vu

Somebody on Youtube seems to think that The Penguin from Batman was a Republican. Looking over this clip, I'm definitely seeing some similarities between the talking points of the Penguin and of John McCain.

Border Patrol—A Frontier Comedy

Dr. Horrible is now available on Hulu and it's not the only web show around. It's not even the only web show around that stars an actor from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Border Patrol is a pseudo-reality show which stars Tom Lenk who played the wannabe supervillain Andrew (and perhaps was an inspiration for the Dr. Horrible) in Buffy's sixth and seventh seasons as one of three overzealous anti-immigration crusaders who decide to go to the border and protect it from illegal aliens. If you like Comedy Central's reality show parodies like Reno 911, check out Border Patrol as it's done in much the same style.

A Mecha-Suit For Stephen Hawking

Neatorama has a link to a sculpture which is described as "A Prosthetic Suit for Stephen Hawking w/ Japanese Steel." Sadly, it's been done before. Physicist Stephen Hawking has had quite a remarkable career. Despite being severely disabled by Lou Gehrig's disease, he's one of the world's leading physicists. Besides his work on black holes and cosmology, Hawking is also a best-selling author and an accomplished "gansta rapper."
