Stuff I Done Seen Today

I got a real kick out of this cartoon:

Have any need for a pair of fake nipples? Of course not. But that doesn't mean you can't buy a pair.

Al Franken has finally spoken out about the Air America Scandal… and, to his credit, he's being fairly honest:

"Here's the deal," the Air America host said. "The first guy who was chairman of the board of Air America - Evan Cohen - was a crook, it turns out. I mean, I guess that's the only way to put it."

One of the internets smartest and most informative bloggers, Arthur Chrenkoff, is hanging it up. This is actually fairly old news, I've meant to post it for some time. Arthur was one of the first bloggers who was kind enough to link to me... and his blog is always one of the best, one of the smartest and most informative. He'll be missed.

The Rolling Stones are desperately grasping for rock n' roll relevance as they stumble, drooling, into their bicentennial year as a band… That's the only explanation I can offer for the lyrics to their new song, as reported by Drudge:

"You call yourself a Christian, I call you a hypocrite/ You call yourself a patriot. Well, I think your are full of sh*t!... How come you're so wrong, my sweet neo-con."

I've been saying for years now that it's time for the Stones to hang it up. When's the last time they did an album, or even a song, that didn't suck? Maybe '75? Mick looks more and more like the illigitimate lovechild of Dr. Frank N. Furter and Grandpa Simpson every year... and George Romero never came up with a creature any scarier than Keith Richards is these days. This kind of desperation to seem hip and current just makes them all the more pitiful.

Hey, give Mick a break! He's an English k-nig-ht! 40 years of hard living, jousting, and fighting dragons will do that kind of stuff to the body.

Fortunately we as Christians won't be standing before the judgement seat of Mick Jagger on judgement day. As many celelbs do, he makes the mistake of believing that people give a flying turd in a rolling donut about his political beliefs.

Hey Mick! Sing! Dance! Strut around on stage! You are popular because you are entertaining, you performing monkey!!! Leave the politics to those of us who still have two brain cells to rub together!
