Hey Boys ‘n’ girls, it’s been awhile, I know. I’ll explain at a later time. Meanwhile, I’d like to thank my partners in crime for holding up the fort as they usually do with their stylings when I am unable to post for long periods of time. Right now, I’d

Red Tory v.3.0.3: Charlie Brooker’s 2011 Wipe
To end the year on a fittingly sardonic note, here’s Charlie Brooker’s brilliant take on the past twelve months as darkly viewed through the pop culture lens of a jaded media critic: If nothing else, you can just skip about half way through the video to enjoy a short documentary
Continue readingwmtc: five items in search of a post (a list of sorts)
This has been a strange winter break. I’ve been working at the library, collaborating with Allan on some paid writing work, taking care of the massive number of appointments and personal chores that pile up while I’m in school, seeing a few friends… but also making sure I spend a

This youtube gem came my way via MyFireDogLake.com, and I knew I had to share it. Here’s the 99% Choir, made up of members from The Backbone Campaign, Washington Community Action Network, Seattle Labor Chorus, and The Other 98%, singing their renditions of some familiar Christmas tunes in front of
Continue readingRed Tory v.3.0.3: Talking to Americans
RT takes to the streets of Manhattan in their own little “Jay Walking” segment to quiz “average” Americans about the world around them… The results are predictably appalling, but before getting too smug, they likely wouldn’t be that much different if this informal survey of incurious knownothings was taken on
Continue reading350 or bust: Spring is Radical, And It’s Just Begun
Here’s a Solstice message from Reverend Billy, from the Church of Earthalujah, from Zuccotti Square in New York City: What did I learn this year. We are the 99%. I learned that. So we’re not divided into separate causes anymore who pass like ships in the night – we are

Posted last December, here is the Hallelujah Chorus brought to you by the 5th grade class of Kuinerrarmiut Elitnaurviat in Quinhagak, Alaska. It was originally intended for an audience of about 200, in the surrounding villages. It has now had over 750,000 views. So, Merry Christmas from Quinhagak, Alaska! *Special

Former half-term Alaska Governor, wannabe celebrity, and brain-addled Fox News “analyst” Sarah Palin thinks the Obama White House’s official greeting card is “odd” because it fails to adequately highlight traditions like “family, faith and freedom.” Evidently, Palin speaks for many rabid right-wing Obama haters out there… at least insofar as

…but not necessarily in one piece: In the video description, Goobie55 writes “The sad part is that I was home at the time with the front door wide open. All he would have had to do was ring the bell on the gate.” After being posted on YouTube, the video

The episode of The Daily Show that I mentioned here can be seen here. The part I found hilarious begins at about 6:00. Many thanks to David H for the link! After you enjoy that laugh, please write to Lowe’s. Lowe’s contact form here Email: WeCare@lowes.com Robert A. Niblock, Chairman

Another great parody of Republican ad; this time, Rick Perry’s pathetic attempt to rile up homophobic Bible-thumpers: You don’t need to be in the pew each Sunday to know that Rick Perry is an imbecile.

Dr. Seuss was always an accurate as well as entertaining observer of human nature. Marcus Brigstoke and the other funny folks at the British radio comedy “The Now Show” pay homage to him in their take on the 2009 UN Climate Conference in Copenhagen. It will make you laugh and

The other day, I expressed admiration for the aggressive new F-150ish “Big Dogs” ad from the Ron Paul campaign, but Conan O’Brian’s parody of it is even more brilliant. “You want cuts? You got ‘em! He’ll cut $1 skrillion of government spending in week one! That’s skrillion… with a skrill!”

I did it! You can thank me later for upending a longstanding tradition of women only being correct. My wife stated that it was not possible for me to sell a half eaten sandwich on UsedRegina.com, but I did it on Tuesday. It took a couple months, but someone finally

There’s no revenge like Church Lady Revenge. A couple of years ago, some Edmonton Church Ladies were in the grips of a savage altercation over a Church Gentleman, and predictably, it wasn’t long before the situation spiraled into insanity. The chief antagonist in the dispute launched a Facebook Vendetta

A government so open, that it lost its marbles. If we had journalists who uniformly understood that letting politicians get away with flaming lies would lead us into a mess, we’d not be in a mess. We’d also not have to satirize ourselves so much.
