Meanwhile...

In the stick universe, they're having the exact same problem as the 616 universe, but they explain it much better.

The first debate

I tried watching the first debate just now and had to turn it off. Both candidates were too preoccupied with hating on the other's views to explain their own. It was like an hour of alternating campaign commercials. I had hoped that it would help me learn more about their policies but it just turned out to be a waste of my time.

If the world ran America, Obama would be president.

Proof.

And that ain't no myspace poll. That's the motherfucking Economist.

It's cool, we're living through history.

Living through history.

Mega Man 9!!!

FYI: Mega Man 9 comes out tomorrow on Wiiware for $10.

Get excited!



If you want to play as Proto Man, it's going to cost you.

Have a great week guys!

Again, this just happened.

My mom literally just made a direct comparison between Anton Chekov and the weather channel.

Edit: Two reasons why Chekov is the best.

"There ought to be behind the door of every happy, contented man some one standing with a hammer continually reminding him with a tap that there are unhappy people; that however happy he may be, life will show him her laws sooner or later, trouble will come for him—disease, poverty, losses, and no one will see or hear, just as now he neither sees nor hears others."

"The happy man only feels at ease because the unhappy bear their burdens in silence, and without that silence happiness would be impossible."

More on Tzipi Livni

She's the last best hope for Peace in the middle east.

She is a former mossad spy.

The New Status Quo.

Approximately the saddest commercial I've seen in a while.

Do I be a condescending dick and explain why I think it's sad, or do I be a pretentious dick and say figure it out yourselves, plebeians?

Hmm... the latter?

Finally

A videogame reviewer who hates everything as much as I hate everything. John, look out, he'll make you cry and angry at him (and by extension, me).

Check out his review to your favorite games. (ie halo3, oblivion, mass effect, etc etc.)

Also great accent. (Glacier is pronounced Gla-shear, who knew?)

Did I just write a review of a review site?

So upset.

Finished watching "No End in Sight" again. Now I'm seriously angry. Anyways, the news;

Sarah Palin gets her yahoo account hacked, has sensitive alaskan information on it. The amount of rage I feel towards this woman may yet turn me into a misogynist (err, more so).

Kadima claims leadership of Israeli parliment, does not have majority of seats. The other party's leader, " also described the negotiations with the Palestinians as a waste of time although he says he is committed to making peace with them." whatever that means. So slightly better news in the middle east, in the same way that dying in a plane crash is better news than surviving the crash and slowly starving to death while on the ocean.

US economy still in tatters. Also in tatters, British economy. (Fucking brits, think they're soo awesome.)

Chinese businesses are trying to kill the world's babies, and are succeeding.

This article about receding polar ice might have the scariest graphic ever. Also the world is doomed anyway, so why continue to write about the news?

Let's all get some heroin.

I'm in St. Louis

So I found myself in St. Louis with Brandi.  Who is in town/wants to hang out?

Hey let's apply this snake oil to our problems, I hear it works wonders!

God. Damn. It.

House approves bill to increase offshore drilling, because if the dems don't, the republicans will approve a bill to increase offshore drilling!

Whew, bullet dodged.

Though to be fair, I am a fan of forcing oil companies out of tax incentives. So, silver lining.

SNL - Hillary vs. Palin

Fantastic.

I love Matt Damon

And you should too.

Edit:

Weekends are for editorial readings;

"I feel for Ms. Palin’s son who has been shipped off to the war in Iraq. But at his deployment ceremony, which was on the same day as the Charlie Gibson interview, Sept. 11, she told the audience of soldiers that they would be fighting 'the enemies who planned and carried out and rejoiced in the death of thousands of Americans.'"


A handy diagram

Sorry I'm so on the Palin topic, it's just infuriating to see this happening and have people saying, "Finally, a woman in the white house," or whatever shitty platitude is in vogue.

Also, I'm really really sexist.

So, I'm about to get rocked by Hurricane Ike.  This should be awesome.

Also, the future of our nation is being threatened by a vast right wing conspiracy to mispronounce nuclear.  Maybe it's not right wing, maybe it's just politicians, but my it is pronounced just exactly the way it looks!  nü-klē-ər never kept anyone from winning a spelling bee!  

ARGH!

How to get a Job.

You too can net your dream job! (Giant Robot Monster Tester, is my dream job. I would ride it around all day laughing and making it blow things up. Or maybe that was just a dream I had.)

An Auspicious Day

Happy birthday JohnAllen!

This is pretty obscure.

US Highway fund is about to run out of money. This means delay of road/bridge construction projects like this one, and more of this shit happening. Why can't we learn what everyone who played videogames in the 90's learned?

I think I'm going to give 5 bonus points to everyone who can name me the reference.

Economic Policies (It's cool, just hit the snooze button till I get to something interesting)

Here's the thing, all signs EVERYWHERE point to the fact that democrats are better at economy than republicans.

On top of this, economy is the highest priority for voters this election season.

So why would anyone ever vote for McCain? I mean yeah racism, yeah moral issues, yeah the war on terror, all that bullshit. But the fact of the matter is, if I can't buy enough gas to go to grandma's on the weekend, or can't buy enough food to feed my family, or (more likely) can't afford both the xbox 360 and the PS3 and have to go from a Tahoe to a damn Spectra, I'm pretty sure I won't give a good goddamn if gays get married or stem cell research makes fucking baby jesus cry. I, as an American, put personal consumption above all other things.

And all of course it's still a complete toss up as to who will win. Is it cool to say I hate Americans? Cause I hate Americans. Not the country per se, but the people who make it up. I hope they all fall into a well and die.

Oh and fucking PS;

As a American National living abroad, I have a vested interest in seeing the american economy tank, cause that means whatever euro's I have in the bank continue to gain in value over the dollar. If the McCain wins and pushes the US toward another Great Depression (which is way to extreme, but I'm all riled up!) then I win cause all my faggy european money is worth like 20 times that of American money.

AND STILL I WANT THE AMERICAN ECONOMY TO DO BETTER!

Why? Cause though it's true that we consume the most in the world (like per capita or whatever, I'd give a link but it's late as fuck) we also give the most charity/ do the most research to the world both federally and personally. Although most of the aid the federal goverment gives goes to fucking Israel. (Don't even get me started on fucking Israel.)

Like fucking china gives a shit about AIDS research, or curing malaria, or giving clean drinking water to Africa (or even it's own people) or whatever.

I picked china cause it's the next biggest economy, as well as being evil

The Daily Show FTW

Yay Obama, boo Palin. And boo McCain. And yay Biden. OK, I'm done now.

Oh, and that link to the Daily show clip from the last post made my day. Everyone watch it.

Gov. Sarah Palin = fail

I just watched Sarah Palin's acceptance speech...

We are better than this.
