...ugh.

for real people? for real?

check out this sweet email...

This says it about as well as it can be stated.

O = ZERO
Written by Dr. Jack Wheeler

The O-man, Barack Hussein Obama, is an eloquently tailored empty suit. No resume, no accomplishments, no experience, no original ideas, no understanding of how the economy works, no understanding of how the world works, nothing but abstract empty rhetoric devoid of real substance.

He has no real identity. He is half-white, which he rejects. The rest of him is mostly Arab, which he hides but is disclosed by his non-African Arabic surname and his Arabic first and middle names as a way to triply proclaim his Arabic parentage to people in Kenya .

What he isn't, not a genetic drop of, is 'African-American,' the descendant of enslaved Africans brought to America chained in slave ships. He hasn't a single ancestor who was a slave. Instead, his Arab ancestors were slave owners. Slave-trading was the main Arab business in East Africa for centuries until the British ended it.

Let that sink in: Obama is not the descendant of slaves, he is the descendant of slave owners. Thus he makes the perfect Liberal Messiah.

It's something Hillary doesn't understand - how some complete neophyte came out of the blue and stole the Dem nomination from her. Obamamania is beyond politics and reason. It is a true religious cult, whose adherents reject Christianity yet still believe in Original Sin, transferring it from the evil of being human to the evil of being white.

Thus Obama has become the white liberals' Christ, offering
absolution from the Sin of Being White. There is no reason or
logic behind it, no faults or flaws of his can diminish it, no
arguments Hillary could make of any kind can be effective against it. The absurdity of Hypocrisy Clothed In Human Flesh being their Savior is all the more cause for liberals to worship him: Credo quia absurdum, I believe it because it is absurd.

Thank heavens that the voting majority! of Americans remain Christian and are in no desperate need of a phony savior.

His candidacy is ridiculous and should not be taken seriously by any thinking American.

Pass this on to every thinking American you know.



you heard the internet... pass this on to every thinking american you know... so they can laugh at it.

...what those gosh darn candidates will think of next!

this angers me.

(thanks to the intrawebs here at work, i cannot post this video... but click on the link and watch it)

mccain put out a new ad recently, called fan club, that basically tries to show obama in a bad light by showing how much people like him... he implies that obama is nothing more than a celebrity and backs it up with stupid sound clips of women saying he has dreamy eyes and taco bell employees talking about how much business they get when obama's in town.

FactCheck.org - this is a great site for information on the presidential candidates. this particular link examines the innaccuracies in mccain's obama fan club video, and also a few others.

personally, i think mccain is just jealous that no hot young thang has complimented him on his dreamy eyes yet - let me be the first to say, mccain, your eyes are like brown diamonds.


for the record - i have no idea who i support. i just thought this ad was bull.

just say beowulf last night, and it was all kinds of awesome. for cereal.

...what you'll find on the internets

everyone at work had been complimenting my desktop and asking where i got the image - so i'm sharing this. this is the best web site i've found for free desktop images - and there's soooo many awesome ones to choose from :)

pixelgirlpresents

...erte.

so the movie i just posted is bugging me because in my browser it's infringing on the space dedicated to other blogs (which you should read!) and such, so hopefully this entry will knock the movie down a bit and everything will be even again.

this is erte. erte is a russian-born artist of the art-deco persuasion, and i looooove me some art deco. these are just gorgeous:

...what the government is putting in your water

ok people, this could possibly blow your mind, but apparently there's stuff oozing out of the ground, put there by the government, that is making your sprinkler water more rainbowy. sprinkler showers haven't had THIS much rainbow in them for 20 years!

this just in - some of the ooze that could be turning normal sprinklers into rainbow-making machines:














found this on pharyngula

...how many licks it takes to get to the center of a tootsie pop

ugh. i seem to have gotten sick right before i have to give my presentation at work. go fig. i can't concentrate on excel sheets and web banners, so here is my oh-so-typical 'look at what i've been listening to this summer!' entry.

my beatles phase hit me this summer - i saw 'across the universe', and it was all things that are awesome and groovy. i liked it so much that i bought the soundtrack, and i'm either proud or ashamed that it's the first album i've actually purchased since ok go's self-titled album in 2002.

so here's the playlist:

lolita
throw me the statue

one, two, three, GO!
belanova

paper planes
m.i.a.

santeria
sublime

like it or not
architecture in helsinki

american boy
estelle (and kanye)

don't let me down
dana fuchs

red and pruple
the dodos

mushaboom
feist

joe cocker

all the way up to heaven
guster

hey jude
joe anderson

raw sugar
metric

where is my mind?
the pixies

el scorcho
weezer

the lovecats
the cure

in all fairness, santeria will probably be on all my playlists, as will send me on my way by rusted root - it makes me feel like i'm traipsing through a disney movie. traipsing!

ps. apparently it's somewhere around 450 licks.

...what craaaaazy things can happen when you mix honey and cheerios!

and i quote:
"Andy Rooney doesn't want vanilla in his Coke, honey in his Cheerios, or sour cream and onions on his chips. Just keep the flavors pure and separate."

now go see this:
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2003/04/24/60minutes/rooney/main550937.shtml

holy vanilla coke, batman! someone's dipping my pretzels in honey mustard!
i came across this broadcast yesterday on the television, and was appalled at this man's lack of appreciation for the mixation of flavors, and also his lack of common sense.

"Honey is very big in everything, now. Honey Nut Cheerios, Planters Honey Roasted Peanuts, Honey Mustard Pretzel Dip. Honey doesn't go with either peanuts or mustard. But I have an idea that honey is cheap because bees are making it faster than we're eating it. "

and i have an idea that honey isn't cheap, because bees are dying out very rapidly right now.

"There’s a salt-free rice cake that's also fat-free. A fat-free topping. I've always been interested in the fact that when they don't put something in a product, it costs more. If it doesn't have fat, salt, sugar or any calories, it's more expensive. Fat-free poppyseed dressing. I always wonder what they do with all the fat they take out of these things. Do they just throw it away? "

1. this stuff costs more because it is a difficult process to take things out of foods when they occur naturally. it's a lot easier for kraft to slap a label on a stick of butter than it is for them to process all the fat out of that butter first.
2. yes, they probably do just throw it out.


a restaraunt's worst nightmare... will someone please force-feed this guy a pb&j so he can experience this little piece of childhood before he turns 95? then maybe he can find something worthwhile to write about besides his own bland food preferences.




honey doesn't go with either peanuts of mustard, a dur a dur a durrr



edit: this movie was made in 2003, when the honeybees weren't dying out... but this dude is still a pompous old windbag.

...how serious i am when i say i have no idea what i'm going to blog about

ta da!

this is the beginning of my most magnificent blog about life in general. if anyone besides my immediate friends and family read this, i will be a happy camper.

to get a few things out of the way -
i do not hit the shift key when i type. ever. however, i am a big advocate of capitalization when one is not instant messaging or blogging.
sometimes i use emoticons as punctuation.
i have no idea what i'm going to blog about.

over and out!
