Times Gone By
I found this link on Neatorama showing some great political ads from past elections. It's interesting to note how some things have changed and some have not. Here are a few of my favorites.

I always thought the waste came out of bush's mouth, but evidently this is how he gets charged back up.
McCain's Derisive Air Quotes
The last part of this video with Samantha Bee taking McCain to task on his use of air quotes when talking about women's health is awesome.

McCain Hates Pennsylvania
Democrat Representative John Murtha (who no one but a bunch of redneck racist have ever heard of) said that Western Pennsylvania is redneck and racist. After hearing this, John McCain agrees.
Electronic Voting Machine Fraud
This is just crazy. The election official in this video can't even fix the machine to make it work properly. Our society has been using computers to help us in our every day lives for decades now, and you want to convince me that we can't make voting foolproof? How many times have you went to an ATM and have it malfunction, say give you too much money or give you someone else's money? Never. And the same companies that make these voting machines make ATM's!

The Outbreak
I came across this interactive movie called The Outbreak. If you liked choose your own adventure books when you where a kid then this might have some appeal. You are involved in a zombie attack and every few minutes you have to pick your course of action, and I assume if you pick right you survive, and if not, chomp, chomp. From what I have seen of it so far, it's better than I Am Legend, but not as good as Shaun of the Dead.
Halloween Costume
As you know, Halloween is just a few days away. I haven't settled on my costume idea yet, but I'm leaning towards this. The only problem I see with this is the leather pants. If you have ever seen the episode of Friends with Ross wearing leather to impress his younger girlfriend you would know what I'm talking about.

Mike Rowe Has a Really Dirty Job
Mike Rowe has done some really gross stuff for his job, but this one takes the cake. The testicle cake that is. Mike goes to a sheep ranch and helps castrate a flock of sheep. It sounds bad enough, raising livestock is full of unpleasantness, but using your teeth to castrate sheep is going a little too far. Surely there is a more hygienic way. You would think someone over the years would have gotten tired of putting sheep balls in their mouth would have made a special tool for the testicle extraction. Wouldn't your hands work better? This farmer must be pulling the wool over on Mike Rowe's eyes. I hope Mike gets paid more than your average ball gobbler working the streets.

Palin Says Vote Democrat
You would think with the republican National Committee spending $150,000 on her wardrobe, that they could have at least found this idiot a scarf with an elephant on it. This photo was taken yesterday at one of her klan rallies. I really do think that she is too stupid to know that the two parties are represented by a donkey and an elephant.

Raising a Child vs. Raising a Dog
This is why my wife and I don't have kids. Be warned, the last few seconds are a little over the top with the violence. The baby in the cat carrier licking the bars makes it all worth it.

Colin Powell Endorses Obama
Former Secretary of State Colin Powell said today on Meet the Press that he will vote for Barack Obama. He said he questions McCain's decision making after he nominated Sarah Palin for his running mate. Powell also did not like the direction the republican party has went with questioning Obama's background, some calling him a terrorist, or implying that he is Muslim, and that a Muslim can't be President.

Out of Lego. It took 4 days to put the 460,000 bricks together into a 96' tower in Vienna, Austria.
McCain Finally Shows Up For Letterman
After a few weeks delay, McCain found his way to Dave's show. It's clear that McCain had someone write some jokes for him. Letterman then takes McCain to task over McCain's running mate Palin saying Obama is a terrorists, and pals around with terrorists. Dave then asks McCain if Obama's relationship with Ayers is anything like McCain's relationship with convicted Watergate criminal G. Gordon Liddy.

Presidential Elections
A flying phallus was used to interrupt Gary Kasparov during a campaign speech in Russia last year. I think this tactic should be used world wide, including the U.S.. The only problem would be how hard it is to tell one dick from the other, "Oh, McCain has done something with his hair. Huh? Oh that's just a flying dildo."
Happy Indigenous People Day

The Office and Battlestar Galactica
Two of my favorite shows on television are The Office and Battlestar Galactica. This week's episode of The Office showed Jim torturing Dwight (who said he never wastes a second of his employers time) with deliberate lies about Battlestar in order to get a rise out of him.

Indiana Jones on South Park
I personally liked the newest Indiana Jones movie but this weeks South Park making fun of the Crystal Skull was still hilarious. Aliens are no more bizarre than god and the arc of the covenant.
The Final Countdown, Still Bad After All These Years
I hated this song and was tortured with it throughout high school. This guy's version is just as good as Europe's and he seems more talented.

Tilt-Shift
Tilt-shift photography is just amazing to me. It uses special equipment to create a very narrow depth of field that puts the foreground and the background out of focus, making everything appear miniature.
Here are a few Tilt-Shift photos I found using SearchMe.com

Dicken's Cider
Found this today, I thought it was even funnier the first time I heard it on Bob and Tom about 15 years ago. I personally like a hot hard Dicken's Cider in the can.
Fogo de Chao
My wife and I decided to try out a restaurant that we had never been to in celebration of our tenth wedding anniversary. We settled on the Brazilian steakhouse Fogo de Chao. And I must say it was spectacular. From the time we entered the front door to the time we left, we never wanted for anything.
I don't know if all Brazilian steakhouses are like Fogo de Chao, but they have a great concept. First of all there isn't a menu. They have an awesome saladbar with real fresh greens and fresh fruits, vegetables, cheeses, olives, peppers etc... which is worth the price of the whole dinner alone. Then for the main course you have your choice of 15 different cuts of meats. And when I say choice, I don't mean you have to pick one, you can have one or all 15, and then keep trying different ones all night until you can't eat anymore. Each person has a two-sided disk, one side green and one side red, that lets the servers, called Gauchos, know if you want more meat or if you want to let your prime rib settle for a bit. If you see your favorite Gaucho bringing around that mouth watering top sirlon, flip your disk to green, tell him how you want it done, and enjoy. Then be sure to flip your disk back to red, or the guy with the chicken legs (which I'm sure are awesome) will come over and hassle you. I think I nearly ate a whole cow, it wasn't a meal, it was a vendetta. And all of that is not counting the unlimited servings of the traditional Brazilian side dishes. If you want a unique dining experience and can spend a little extra money, Fogo de Chao is well worth your time.

The Borats of Vietnam
From Nothing To Do With Arbroath
Vietnamese 'Borats' cause a storm
Two students who dressed up as the TV character Borat are at the centre of a row in Vietnam.
The pair performed a dance act at a company party dressed as the spoof Kazakh journalist in his notoriously skimpy "mankini" swimming costume. They have now found themselves suspended from college for 12 months.
The incident, dubbed the "nude dance of FPT Arena students", has stirred up a storm on internet forums and also in the domestic media. The leading technology firm FPT owns the college where the two performers were studying design.
Hanoi Cultural Inspectorate on Tuesday fined the college 4m dong ($240; £135) for a number of offences including "use of improper clothing".
Newspapers deemed the display "obscene", saying it was against Vietnam's morality and tradition. Angry readers wrote in to call for punishment.
"I cannot understand how they could do such an anti-cultural thing," said Nguyen Dinh Van from Hanoi, adding: "I cannot accept it."
Once I got past the train wreck of a photo and looked at the article I did what I always do before reading something; I skimmed over it first, looking for the relevant items. The first thing that I saw was 4m dong.
The V.P. Debate
After watching the debate last night, (because The Office wasn't on) I think I came to the same conclusion everyone else did. They both did alright. If you were an Obama/Biden supporter you probably thought Biden did a good job, and that Palin went off topic too much. If you were a McCain/Palin backer, you probably thought that Palin said exactly what she needed to and Biden went off topic too much. Neither V.P. candidate probably swayed any undicided voters, or pulled votes accross the party lines.
I did think there were some differences though. Palin had these same talking points that all of the neocons have, and when ever she was asked anything, she would look down to the cue cards and say, "Iraq, terrorism, or war hero," and spout out what ever was on the top cue card, regardless of the question, no matter how akward. Biden had his talking points written on cue cards also, but he shuffled his around to answer the question at hand.
One thing that I thougt interesting was their debate on global warming. Palin said what she has been trained to say, that there is cyclical climate change, and always has been. But Biden got a big jab on the republicans here:

The True Story of Sarah Palin
It's so easy to make fun of Sarah Palin that it's almost not fun anymore. Almost. Warning this video is a little brutal.
Cooking with Balls
From the Telegraph
Cooking With Balls: World's first testicle recipe book
A chef is publishing a book of recipes for cooking with testicles.
Hailed as the world's first recipe collection of its kind, Cooking With Balls includes testicle pizza, battered testicles and and barbecued testicles with giblets.
Ljubomir Erovic, the chef behind the book, said testicles are rich in testosterone and are believed to be a powerful aphrodisiac in China as well as his homeland of Serbia.
The collection, made available by e-book publishers YUDU, features testicles from several different animals, including stallions, ostriches, bulls, pigs and turkeys.
"Wash testicles thoroughly for 30-45 minutes," begins the recipe for testicles pie........More
Well I don't know about you, but I always wash my testicles for 30 to 45 minutes.
