If we're cleaning up the White House, why not have a redesign too?
This idea, although conservative, is hilarious:
What better way to reign in the White House Press Corps than to install Jack Bauer as Press Secretary? Let's see if David Gregory has the guts to ask Jack Bauer about "sloppy seconds". Imagine Jack Bauer trying to sit still while Helen Thomas goes on one of her diatribes.
You have to see the image, though, to get the full humor. It's great!
And speaking of 24, this season has basically flaunted the "president is worse than nixon + bush combined" idea to create a super-weak, super-crazy chief executive. It's singularly amazing that such a show would be on FOX.
Of course, I'm also the person who would gladly purchase a "Don't blame me: I voted for Palmer!" bumper sticker. (Having a FOX show star an african-american as a Democrat who won the presidency is amazing, isn't it?) Dennis Haysbert should seriously consider running for office: his physical presence is commanding and through his work on 24, and for Allstate, many voters would recognize (and implicitly trust) his voice automatically.
Hmm. Who else should enter politics from 24? Clearly, my current favorite character: Mike Novick. He's the last best chance to save this country!
Holy crap when I saw this I just knew I needed one. I mean its basically a set of tank treads put on a wheelchair so it can go anywhere. I highly recommend you check out the video section cause it has nothing but good things. I mean this is why america is great yes no.
If you haven't ever checked out Treehugger.com now is a good time. There are a lot of excellent pieces on a daily basis about how you can switch to eco friendly solutions, though we all know I do it cause I am cheap and want to save money. And in the vain of the enviro here is a link to a biodeseil inline system.
So here are a bunch of links that I had to post just seemed like stuff peps would like:
Woot: a discount single item a day site. Its pretty interesting each day a new single item at a discount.
Indie Shopper: random T-Shirts and other things that are fun.
Threadless: Awesome T-Shirt site, simple and fun shirts.
Heifer: Simple put any site that lets you buy a cow and send it to a third world country has to be fun right.
Clibfife: NFWS (Not for work site) This is a site for the ladies that lets you buy birch underwear, ummm well not a lot else to say about that.
PixelGirl Presents: For all your icon needs.
A guy from this organization came to talk to the Chinese students at my school today. I had no idea it even existed before today, but it has amazing information on China. Including this guide to censorship - reads like something out of a bad novel, but it's all too true.
I mean, there are many reasons to ban American Idol, but is this really one of them?
So, I'm visiting! And I'm thinking at this point that I may spend my entire time here drunk. Between work functions and Ed's free-flowing hospitality, I'm still completely looped from last night. A co-worker just asked me to come to a girls lunch which will include martinis, apparently. Power lunching for the feminine set.
Anyway, just wanted to alert the media to my presence. So, if any of you are around and want some Helena love, drop a comment and we'll work something out...
(And yes, Fincher, I'm hoping sushi is still on your agenda...I'll try to sober up for the occasion. Ed will email you, I think.)
This is amusing.
Much more, so, than say, a fake 43-sends-J&B (why are they always described as 'jenna-and-tonic' when 'J&B' is a much better witticism?) to Iraq to fight letter. That wouldn't be funny at all.
I think I've now reached the point where an entire IM conversation can be had simply be using one of two responses, either:
ah!
or
ha!
They convey a fairly wide range of feelings, right?
So I finally got to see the Narnia movie, and despite not having read the books for years, most moments seemed somewhat familiar.
Within about five minutes, I realized what I liked/disliked about the books, namely, Edmund. The kid gets a raw deal from the beginning, is hated by his other siblings, and despite acting somewhat rational is described as a "traitor" for having a conversation with someone.
Later, Aslan says that what happened in the past is past, subtly digging at Edmund's "treachery" despite the fact that he really didn't do anything bad. It set my teeth on edge.
The summary of my weekend can wait, but for now, I'll just share my view waking up Easter morning.
The green meadows and blue skies are hard to top.
