Park51…Priceless

John on August 22, 2010

A 13 story Islamic center two blocks from ground zero: $100 million. Sending Imam Rauf overseas to spread tolerance on the taxpayer’s dime: $16,000. Refilling the prescription on Frank Rich’s blood pressure medication: $14. Watching progressives argue that religious freedom should never be questioned… Priceless.

Attention Deficit Disorder for Everyone

John on July 12, 2010

Interesting test that you can take right now: So, how did you do? If you want to read more, Time has a story. I wonder if the political sharpies on Capitol Hill are familiar with this experiment? It doesn’t bode well for transparency in politics.

“Bad Hotel”: Lefty Flash Mob in SFO Calls for Boycott With Lady Gaga Performance in Westin Lobby

Morgen on May 11, 2010

Only in San Francisco… A few cops with tasers and this would have been an instant classic. I kid, I kid. Actually as someone who has to be dragged on to any dance floor, I think they deserve an “A” for effort.

Very Short Books I May Write (UPDATED)

John on March 30, 2010

I’ve wanted to write a book for some time. Something weighty and important but without all the long chapters and footnotes. Imagine Jonah Goldberg’s Liberal Fascism — the Readers Digest version. I want the blog-cred that comes with the book, I just can’t see spending a whole lot of my valuable time writing all those words and, even worse, the punctuation! (Talk about fascism! Who says the comma has to [...]

Remembering Big Trak

John on February 17, 2010

Saw this Tech News story about a new toy called TRAKR which will be out soon. Looks pretty cool. I’m sure I’d want one if I were 8 again. The story mentioned the original computerized toy, Big Trak. I used to have one of these: It really was cool, though I recall it didn’t work all that well on the shag carpeting in my grandmother’s apartment. Looks like I could [...]

Video: Squirrels in My Pants!

John on February 12, 2010

A friend was tipped off to this clip by her 2 1/2 year old: Love the line: “How do I get those government grants…” I have to say, it’s better than most of the rap I hear on the radio.

Great Video: The Founding Fathers Rock the Declaration of Independence

Morgen on February 5, 2010

In case you somehow missed this like I did this week: I’m not sure I fully understand who this group is and what they do, but they were insanely inspired in producing this. Well done!

I’ll Take a Beer With My Whopper?

Cindy on January 22, 2010

USA Today reports that Burger King will begin a trial run of selling Anheuser-Busch and MillerCoors beers with their Whopper Meals in South Beach, Florida beginning this February. Following their European counterparts which have been offering beer with meals for decades, Burger King will launch what they are calling their Whopper-Bar, or Burger-Bar, in South Beach, and if successful will likely expand the market to include Los Angeles, New York, [...]

It’s Time for Another VS Contest!

Morgen on January 17, 2010

Blogger and tweeter extraordinaire Melissa Clouthier tipped me off this morning to this incredible story in the Telegraph this morning. Apparently the State Department and/or the FBI used facial features from a real-life Spanish politician for that mocked up photo released earlier this week of an aged Osama bin Laden (right). I’m not including the name or picture of this poor guy, but suffice it to say it is quite obvious [...]

Myth Confirmed: Tongue Will Stick to Frozen Metal Pole (or Dumpster)

John on December 21, 2009

It happened in Germany: As Germany battled freezing weekend weather that caused transport chaos and at least six deaths, the witless youth, 16, stuck his tongue to a lamppost in the city of Saarlouis on Saturday night and had to be treated by paramedics after he tore himself loose. [...] Remarkably, paramedics said this was not the first such incident they had been called to help with on Saturday night [...]

Palin vs. Shatner

John on December 11, 2009

This is pretty fun: Obviously Shatner was in on the gag. You gotta love they guy. He really is a good sport and able to laugh at himself. I wouldn’t doubt he gave Sarah some tips on Shatner-esque deadpan readings. It would be nice if conservatives were treated this way by the media routinely, rather than as pariahs. Sadly, this is the exception to the rule. [HT: Say Anything]

CNN Fact Checks Lazy Sunday

John on October 6, 2009

Perhaps you remember this clip: CNN reveals it wasn’t what it seems: CNN has learned that Chris Parnell and Andy Samberg are not a real rap duo. Despite their utterly convincing ability to bust-a-rhyme reminiscent of Run-DMC in their prime, the pair turn out to be paid actors. Parnell and Samberg worked on a television comedy show which airs late night on NBC. The show has apparently been running unnoticed [...]
