Oh the Places You'll Go! Oh the Pre-Emptive Broadcasts You'll See!

Epic incompetence in regards to China's policies and actions in almost anything the government has its hands in [read: everything] is nothing new. I write this post underneath the all seeing web of Cisco Clean Agent, which is also the preferred medium in China's war on cyberdissidents. BUT I DIGRESS. China jumps the gun once again, points to them this time for just how funny this is.

Ah, the pre-written banter. It's a beautiful thing to behold.

I have found an image of the mistake however, it seems the Chinese computer keyboards hold one major difference between ours. This could very well be the one button that undoes the entire economy as well. Fair warning, if you intend to keep your computer files safe, your institutions at rest, DO NOT BUY CHINESE KEYBOARDS.

This Just In. Disappointment Continues for the Stupid.

What I learned a long time ago, which has been reinforced this week:

David Blaine is not a magician.

People's "outrage" over his stunt is almost nonexistent. Yet Fox News deems this newsworthy. I'm not even including the link out of contempt.

Lindsay Lohan is a lesbian. Amidst the crises (plural, and don't you forget it), this is about as pleasant as listening to a lecture on Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. Or watching the news in general.

In real news...

Obama has gained ground on the heels of news that McCain's campaign manager was on contract with Fannie May and other banks to fight regulations. This has been going on for 5 years. 5 Fucking years. Some say it was inevitable. I agree to a certain extent. While the economy, like politics or anything else in life, is an ebb and flow, requiring input and dominance (to a certain extent) from one side for a period of time. The current administration has wielded its turn with the grace of an epilleptic at a Pink Floyd show. Now its up for people to decide if they're fed up with it. And the slow sad realization that the race had been dead even (not at press time, but things change) at any point is reason enough to beleive that yes, some people are just that easy to fool.


Again, I'm holding out for the treadmills (see the first post)

Finding Meaning. A Social Experiment.

Just how many ways can you misconstrue a name? I didn't think there would be any possibilities that would throw me for a loop, but Urban Dictionary, the tricky anonymous fuckers that be, have some posts that let me discover things about myself, such as what Nelsoning is, or what a Nelsonism is. Check it out for yourself. My only request, post any funky words or definitons with your name in it in the comments.

Happy hunt.

So Elizabeth Hasselbeck and Cindy McCain Walk Into a Bar...

Selective reading allows the news to be way more fun than it normally is.

Cindy McCain Blasts the View

NOW STOP RIGHT THERE! DONT KEEP READING!

Perfect, the mental image of Cindy McCain beating the hell out of the View hostesses is hysterical. Then we'll let Sarah Palin strut around in the background with her fucking Tina Fey glasses. On that day, America, we would truly find harmony, as Democrats and Republicans, Libertarians and Rastafarians alike all hold hands and surround the warm glow of the television showing us the end of the View as we dance around in the debris of Ike and the shredded books being thrown around in New York in the ticker tape parade of the ages! Children released from school in the mass celebrations that would make the Hitler Youth blush would set fireworks off from their bookbags and throwing them into bank lobbies and supermarkets alike! Everyone pours into the streets, unawares, until we recieve word the View is dead. People collapse in heaps, some proceeding to piss themselves in unadulterated exaltation to the good lord above. Jacob McCarthy awakens from his coma and proceeds to utter his last words before rolling himself down the corridor of adoring fans cheering him on. "The Lord does exist. Hapanesinnachiu", he says rolling along util the ramp comes into view. He flies off making a flawless swan dive into a Jackson Pollock. Points for creativity as the wheelchair landed on Jerry Falwell's ghost. The joy continues to build until we all return home to await the continuation the next morning in the glow of a post-View world.

On that day America, we will truly be one. One country, under a force, indivisible, with a severe lack of the View for all.

Spreading the Love

A friend of mine recently started up a blog. Least I could do, for the nonexistent people who may or may not be reading is give a shout, or a "boost".

Cheers.

Crocs. More dangerous than Capri Sun in a microwave.

Crocs, the darlings of pregnant women who can no longer match socks, wayward fashonistas, and the potentially blind have built quite a reputation for quality assurance.

People of the world! There is only once way to stop the rubber menace! When you see a family, decked out for their Sunday jaunt crossing paths with you, grab the nearest parent and shake them until they can no longer muster coherence. Proceed to remove both shoes and beat them with both shoes, equally, seeing as we are trying to get a balanced message across. Turn to their children, suggest they go right across the street and take a look at some new shoes. Turn on your heel and feel a new spring in your step as you leave the sidewalk, you've just done a public service! Don't you feel great now? Good, because you're going to need that extra spring in your step, the off duty cop is gunning for you now, you may want to take off and lay low for a while.

CNN IS RACIST. THAT IS ALL

They're really not. But the juxtaposition of these two stories (it is now 9:51 am) leads me to think otherwise. Or I'm just reading way to far into it. It's one of the two but I'll go with the sensationalist headlines.

• Rice: I don't see enough blacks at my job 18 min
• CNNMoney: KFC recipe security goes super tight

That is all.

SOCOM, Apparently Doing What...it...needs to do?

Interesting piece from the Washington Post today on the drop in violence in our "War on an Impossible Ideology"

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/09/07/AR2008090701847.html?hpid%3Dtopnews&sub=new

In essence for those of us who gloss over blog posts from student journalists, because we all have a life to attend to, our government has essentially begun to get its shit together in its operations.

Wow.

A government agency and those in charge actually checking their facts and doing what they set out to do. It almost gives me the warm and fuzzies. Almost, seeing as the act needed to be organized oh, say, about 5 years ago?

Sarah Palin

Here it comes, a comment on the dearest of new media darlings and harlots, Sarah Palin. She seems like a decent person, a champion of her home state, and an all around badass. There's just a few things that nag at me. From supporting the "Bridge to Nowhere" project, where she took a page from the Hillary "I voted against it afterwards" Clinton, to running a campaign rooted in family values while her daughter becomes pregnant by some backwards assed moron who exists only as a myspace page and a dumb shot of him in a hockey uniform, Palin seems to be the one with little experience in this campaign. She has even said, and this is no misquote, "I don't know exactly what the vice president's job is". That. Is. A. Fucking. Issue. Need any more reason to question her, just as vehemently as Barack Obama has through the past months? Check out this beauty of a list complied over at alternet.org

And remember, God Bless America. We're gonna need something to cling to.

Like the song says, here we go again. Except we're trading in hooks and treadmills for ad nauseum news coverage and conventions.

I'll take the fucking treadmills.
