Was hoping this was a parody … but it’s not. Ahhhh, Republicans and their authoritarian gun-n-daddy fetishes.

… upon further review, that does not say what I thought it said.

… was so you can watch this video.

The great blogger, Al Weisel, posting under the pseudonym Jon Swift has died. He will be missed.

It’s the year of the metal tiger (so, gold or white tiger). Make sure you eat some long noodles today.

Also, watch this:

I love how they don’t actually hide any of the social extortion/negotiation that goes along. Kids behave because if they don’t, no red envelope for you, you little shits. And the adults hang around long enough until they drink enough to stand each other.

Look for the phrase “Gan Bei” (= “bottom’s up”). Repeatedly.

… oh yeah. And happy Valentine’s Day too.

Howard Zinn is dead.

Howard Zinn, the Boston University historian and political activist who was an early opponent of US involvement in Vietnam and whose books, such as “A People’s History of the United States,” inspired young and old to rethink the way textbooks present the American experience, died today in Santa Monica, Calif, where he was traveling. He was 87.

Apple announces iPad

Apple’s CEO, Steve Jobs, finally unveiled the Apple iPad during an event today. The name of the new tablet was revealed only a few days ago, and aims to separate itself from tablet computers such as Microsoft’s new Slate PC category. Leaks have prepared us all for an “iPhone on steroids” and we recently estimated the release date to be April 2010. The “iPhone on steroids” has turned out to be a good description of the new Apple iPad, and the release date will indeed be April 2010.

Presumably with the different versions, there will be a mini and a maxi iPad. With any luck, the product will have … wait for it … wings.

bada boom!

Stupid name for a tweener product (doesn’t do what your laptop does, barely does more than the iPhone and still can’t make calls, too expensive, and yet another gadget to carry … yeah, not seeing the utility of this one).

I Don’t Even Want To Be Alive Anymore

By Rush Limbaugh

I know there are a lot of people out there who are upset about some of the things I’ve been saying on my radio program lately. My comments about the situation in Haiti have hurt and angered many Americans who genuinely care about the plight of the Haitian people, and that hurt and anger will likely never go away. Many of you are probably wondering, “What would compel a human being to say things like that?” Well, here’s your answer: I am a very bad person. And, to tell you the truth, I don’t really want to be alive anymore.
…

The irony is that, even if I did die, the hell I would surely be sent to could not possibly be any worse than the bottomless pool of excrement I already paddle around in like some demented, shit-covered walrus. In fact, every time I hear my voice coming through the headphones I nearly gag, and I think, “What the fuck am I doing?” Why would I say that Michael J. Fox is faking his Parkinson’s symptoms? Why would I find it funny to play a song called “Barack the Magic Negro”? Why would I tell people not to give aid to Haiti?

What the fuck is wrong with me?

Good times

Love gut explosions. These strings were what I was using when The Magic Night happened (a tennis Magic Night of Sublime Awesomeness, not one of those romantic Magic Nights). Yes, I will be using this setup again.

After a loooong time between breaks (winter has cramped my schedule), I broke 3 in one day. The other two looked pretty pedestrian, so no need to display.

Side note: taking off the headtape on one of the other racquets took off the graphics with it. Boo in that cheapass decals come off/aren’t underneath a layer of lacquer and boo that its resale value was just trashed, but yay in that the graphics just became much less embarrassing. Don’t quite know how to feel about that one.

Those ACORN videos that caused such an uproar? Those ones where they were supposedly giving tax advice to a “pimp and prostitute” (though the offices that called the cops on them were, of course, not in the video)? Yeah, those ones.

FAKE

The videos that have been released appear to have been edited, in some cases substantially, including the insertion of a substitute voiceover for significant portions of Mr. O’Keefe’s and Ms. Giles’s comments, which makes it difficult to determine the questions to which ACORN employees are responding. A comparison of the publicly available transcripts to the released videos confirms that large portions of the original video have been omitted from the released versions.

Where’s the kerning squaders for truth now?

If reactionary conservatives weren’t dishonest they would have no other recognizable qualities. Fuckers.

Oh, and by the way, that backdoor bill of attainder that Congress tried to pass about ACORN? Ruled unconstitutional today. Suck on that, freepers.

Also, I want an apology from Jon Stewart for running so hard with this story.
