Since it envolves Compressed Air, it automatically jumups up the list of coolness, but ad the treat at the end and I am fairly sure that there would have been an attempt to have made this.

A good Worst Persons segment with the #1 and #2 spots being great to see actually mentioned on the TeeVee instead of just being banshed to the hinterlands of the Left Blogosphere.

My Dad was in stitches over this Thanksgiving, and yes, it is damn funny, so here you go, more Palin Follies with the clever use of green screens.

Nothing is better than well done snark…execpt that is for well done snark involving one of the worst books ever written:
A small taste:

“Damn it, Dagny! I need the government to get out of the way and let me do my job!”

Know that you know the book, go and read McSweeney’s wonderful little spoof of it.

Happy Turkey Day everyone!

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

If anything it at least looks like a nice redo of the Fitzgerald Novel, keeping the concept but adding in some modernist thinking.

Because I like to know what goes on in Bizarro World, I’ll flip over to the local loony bin of Right Wing Radio for a few minutes after work too see what colour the sky is for them that day.
For the past two days it has been very red…and angry, and not even about how Obama is a Muslim antichrist that is going to take all your guns and money, but it has been about a new piece of public art that Denver has bought (Background: Denver has a law that 1% of any public work/construction project goes to Public Art). Months ago they were up in arms about the Demon Horse of DIA and wanted replaced with some sort of pro War in Iraq patriotic clap trap, now they have focused their beady little eyes like laser beams on, what looks to me like a stack of red water balloons in the form of an Obelisk but they see it as a boob penis. Now Westword decided to poke fun of it, but these two knuckleheads are off on another crusade…because WHAT ABOUT THE CHILDREN!!!eleven111!
To me it looks like the Artist did a model where he squeezed a bunch of carmine oil paint to form a pyramid….and then decided to make it huge, but then I guess my world is not ruled be imaginary penises.
You know what guys? Perhaps sometimes a Cigar is just a Cigar and if you start seeing everything as a Penis, I think it says more about you then I really want to know. It’s like the Wimmin at the CWA at CU years ago that declared a camera lens and pen penises and symbols of oppression and charged two reporters covering a seminar on empowering women. Sometimes you should just not do or say what the little voices in your head are telling you to say or do.

Well, you knew it was coming, that there would be a day that the analyzers would come for blogs. So, while I was sitting through a insanely boring meeting on the new FERC rules (hint, they still do not apply to me, just like the old ones didn’t apply to me) my blog went and got analyzed.
My poor little blog is *soooo* not me and has wondered off to the land of “F”…shameless thing that it is.

ESFP – The Performers
The entertaining and friendly type. They are especially attuned to pleasure and beauty and like to fill their surroundings with soft fabrics, bright colors and sweet smells. They live in the present moment and don´t like to plan ahead – they are always in risk of exhausting themselves.
The enjoy work that makes them able to help other people in a concrete and visible way. They tend to avoid conflicts and rarely initiate confrontation – qualities that can make it hard for them in management positions.

Which is very funny to me since I tend to either come up as INTJ (2.1% US pop) or ISTJ (11.6% US pop) depending on my mood.
