This Is Your Religion on Drugs

OK. This one's for Ed. How quickly can the Answers in Genesis people make no sense? It only takes them 15 seconds to lose me here.



Seriously. Someone explain to me what they're trying to say and do here. How do I use this argument to learn anything about creationism or G-d or religion or guns or… anything?

This Calls for Legislation

Microsoft has gone too far this time.

Vincent Laforet's work.

Amazing.

Tilt Shift Video

Tilt shift photography takes advantage of the mind's interpretation of depth of field as an indication of size and distance in images. Distant objects in a very narrow depth of field appear to be a close-up of tiny objects. The effect works well enough with still images, but with video it's amazing.

Let's Get It On

This is old. But some post-coital reflection might be in order.

Banana Hands Smacks Gore

Recorded February 2006



Pay attention starting around 5 minutes in. Al Gore gets in a good one. Tony high-fives him then flips it right around.

Emotion—something that I experienced from you day before yesterday at a level that is as profound as I've ever experienced—and if you had communicated with that emotion I believe you would have beat his ass and won.

Yep.

What Do You Think of This New Guy?

Perfect.

Coup de Grâce

It's not because I can't let it go. It's because there has been talk of Palin in 2012. I suppose that does give her enough time to get to a fourth grade level. Yeah. That's not gonna work for me.

For the Glory of Satan

This is a fantastic combination of the satirical and the serious.

And 2 or 3 of my readers might agree that the huffer looks like someone we know -- think 'do you want to get some money for your old textbooks?'

Et Tu Fox?

Samuel "Joe" Wurzelbacher: I just wanna push it back on your listeners to go back there and find out why I would…you know…agree to something like that.

We know why. Because he's clueless and shameless.

Shepard Smith puts Joe in the spotlight effectively. Wurzelbacher's own comments show how little he knows and how little he can contribute to intelligent debate.

No more discussion of Joe here. Because he started off irrelevant. And he just gets more and more so.

You're All Joe the Plumber!

Joe? Joe the Plumber? Hello?

So all of you stand up and say...

Stand up and say what? That an Obama presidency will spell the death of Israel and there's no need to support that with any evidence whatsoever? Cause that's what Joe the Plumber likes to say.

If Loving You Is Wrong I Don't Wanna Be Right.

I'm antiwar. I worked with Kennedy. I want to protect gays. Obama likes me. I'm a Republican.

Three ads from Gordon Smith of Oregon. There's a theme.

Grand Old Posse

The Endorsement Isn't the Point

Powell: I'm also troubled by not what Senator McCain says but what members of the party say, and it is permitted to be said. Such things as 'Well you know that Mr. Obama is a Muslim.' Well the correct answer is he's not a Muslim. He's a Christian. He's always been a Christian.

But the really right answer is 'What if he is? Is there something wrong with being a Muslim in this country?' The answer is 'No, that's not America.' Is there something wrong with some seven-year old Muslim-American kid believing that he or she could be president?

I would have been pleased to see Powell make only this point even if he said nothing about an an endorsement.

Why is the voice of reason so conspicuous recently?

When the bulk of your opponent's ad is a recording of your own argument, it means you're already a parody.

NEWSFLASH: McCain Was One of the Keating Five.

Forget about thin associations. Let's talk about the candidates themselves. We were all waiting for this to come up weren't we?

You want to talk strategy? How about knowing your opponents moves ahead of time and trumping their left bower with the right bower?

That's right. It's a euchre reference.
