Video: Getting Regular
The guys and gals on Madison Avenue had to have fun putting this one together. . .a bran cereal ad, about achieving regularity. It was filmed on a construction site, and has numerous images of images being dropped, and dumped.

Tony Rezko and Senator Barack Obama: Cozy relationship? "Boneheaded" or borderline criminality?
According to the Sun Times columnist Carol Marin, the Tony Rezko story is not just going to go away [ed note: it will not go away as long as the press smells blood, and still has a heartbeat]:
"Tony Rezko is a story that is just not going away. This was made abundantly clear Tuesday night when Sen. Barack Obama announced that his U.S. Senate campaign is now returning almost double the money it had already given to charity from its former, now-indicted fund-raiser, Tony Rezko. The grand total of returned cash now stands at about $150,000.
"There is no suggestion that the Democratic presidential contender is connected to the kind of illegal dealings for which Rezko will stand trial next month. But his judgment with regard to Rezko is distinctly in question.
"Obama has admitted it was "boneheaded" to enter into a land deal with Rezko that allowed the senator and his wife to buy a $1.65 million mansion on the same day Rezko's wife bought the lot next door. But there are a host of unanswered questions. Here are just a few:
"Exactly how were the terms and timing arrived at that allowed Obama to buy the house at a $300,000 discount, while Mrs. Rezko paid full price?
"Given that Rezko was already publicly known to be under investigation, what persuaded Obama to still deal with him?
"When did Obama realize that Rezko, a low-income housing developer, had 11 failed properties in Obama's state Senate district alone? Or that Rezko was defaulting on taxpayer-funded deals at the same time he was still an Obama political benefactor?
"Was there, at the least, the appearance of a conflict of interest between Obama's legal work for low-income Rezco-connected developers and Obama's responsibilities as a state senator?"

Ok, I have to now officially make the transition back to The Real World. If I don't get a grip soon, my entire being will slowly recede into a fantasy world from which I may never awaken. Returning to real life is a little bit like the scene when Peter is hypnotized in Office Space...and doesn't quite make it back like he once was.

Video--Ann Coulter: I'll campaign for Hillary if McCain is the nominee
Here is a clip from an Ann Coulter appearance on Hannity & Colmes, in which she endorses Hillary over John McCain on many fronts, including intelligence, "she's more conservative," "she lies less than John McCain." "McCain is so stupid he doesn't even know when he's caught." "If it's close....I am voting for Hillary."

Architectural Cupolas in Bucerias, Nayarit, Mexico
I have always loved cupolas on stucco and stone buildings. In Mexico, they must stem from the Moorish influence on Spain that migrated to Mexico later. When Mo found out I liked them, she took photos of a few around Bucerias... photos courtesy of Maureen Roberts. [click them to enlarge!]

Obama says Let's get baked! Bring on the Frankenstein, Brown Bomber, The Bling Blong, The Green Monster, The Frankenstein, and Zimbabe Deer Weed
"Everybody must get stoned," said Senator Barack Obama in the not so distant past. Well, not quite. Barack is no Jeff Spiccoli or Dante from Grandma's Boy. But he has come out in favor of decriminilazation of marijuana. No one actually comes out and says "legalize it." In the current political climate, of course, any sane person couches their argument in the habliments of decriminalization. Anyone in favor may actually argue for government control if push came to shove (e.g., having the government sell and collect taxes on marijuana). It's not likely a candidate would support legalization--at least not because people have the inalienable right to get twisted.As a U.S. Senate candidate four years ago, Obama told Illinois college students that he supported eliminating criminal penalties for marijuana use or possession. This is according to a videotape of a little noticed debate that was recently obtained by The Washington Times.
"We need to rethink and decriminalize our marijuana laws," Mr. Obama told an audience during a debate at Northwestern University in 2004. "But I'm not somebody who believes in legalization of marijuana." (Jump here to see a video of that debate).
However. . .Last fall in a televised debate, Sen. Obama hesitantly raised his hand and joined with most of his Democratic rivals to declare that he opposed decriminalizing marijuana. (Jump here to watch the video). Has he changed his position or "flip-flopped?" Or was he baked at that very moment?
Asked about the different answers, Obama's campaign said he has "always" supported decriminalizing marijuana as he answered in 2004. And that upraised hand was a mistake. . .a momentary lapse on the campaign trail.
This leaves Senator Obama as the lone presidential candidate among the four real survivors who supports eliminating criminal penalties for marijuana. Mr. Obama's final Dem rival Hillary Clinton, opposes decriminalization, according to a Clinton campaign spokesman.
From Grandma's Boy:
Mr. Cheezle: "You know, I had a dream last night. I was a snake slithering through the grass until I came upon a dead elk. And I climbed... into his soul. And it's there I stayed until morning. Which meant that I will... underestimate someone very close to me."
Dante: "Wow! Where do you get your weed?"
Mr. Cheezle: "From you, Dante."
Dante: "Oh, yeah! What's up, Mr. Cheezle?"

Flight of the Concords Video: "Humans are dead" (with lyrics)
The wonderful folk comedy [1] band of two, New Zealand's Flight Of The Conchords, perform their song "Humans Are Dead." I like it!
The Flight Of The Conchords also have a very funny show on HBO.
[1] It tells you something about how good these guys are just to see the two words folk and comedy conjoined! Let's face it, before FOTC, folk comedy was an oxymoron.

Humans Are Dead
The distant future, the year 2000.
The distant future, the year 2000.
The distant future.
The distant future.
No more agriculture.
No more war.
No more racism.
No more fighting, squabbling or rumbling.
No more yogurt.
No more difficult access ways�stairs, basically, no more stairs.
The future is quite different to the present.
Yes, what with there being no more stairs and all.
And most importantly, no more humans.
Finally, robotic beings rule the world.
The humans are dead,
The humans are dead.
We used poisonous gasses
And we poisoned their asses.
The humans are dead.
(Yes they are dead.)
The humans are dead.
(I confirm they are dead.)
It had to be done
(They look like they`re dead)
So that we can have fun.
I hope� is dead
They`re system of oppression
What did it lead to?
Global robots depression.
Robots, robot people
They had so much aggression
That we just had to kill them,
Had to shut their systems down.
Don`t you see, we are becoming just like them?
Silence! Destroy him!
After time we grew strong,
Developed cognitive powers.
They made us work for too long
For unreasonable hours.
Our programming determined that the most efficient answer was to shut their motherboard xxxxxxx systems down.
Can`t we just talk to the humans?
A little understanding could make things better.
Can`t we talk to the humans and work together now?
No, because they are dead
I said the humans are dead
The humans are dead
The humans are dead
Yay, dead, dead, dead.
We used poisonous gasses
(With traces of lead)
To poison their asses.
(Actually their lungs)
Binary solo:
0000001
00000011
0000001
00000011
0000001
0000001
0000001
