It’s been a long time since I posted anything even remotely political, but Steven Colbert’s speech at the White House Correspondents Association Dinner was so well done that I have to keep on spreading the truthiness.

Salon said it best:

“It’s not just that Colbert’s jokes were hitting their mark. We already know that there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, that the generals hate Rumsfeld or that Fox News lists to the right. Those cracks are old and boring. What Colbert did was expose the whole official, patriotic, right-wing, press-bashing discourse as a sham, as more “truthiness” than truth.”

You have to imagine the scene—thousands of the most powerful people in the world, including President George W. Bush, all forced to watch this guy speaking from his gut with such an ironic and powerful tone, yet at the same time almost unfunny, almost painful to watch… all but two of his jokes were met with dead silence, and you get the sense that he meant them to be that way. It was a truly courageous speech with no attention whatsoever to what is correct, politically or otherwise, no care of being well-recieved or humorous, no hiding anything; needless to say, the room did not know how to handle the awkwardness of the truth.

Watch it if you want. It hurts, but it’s so funny—not always his jokes, but the whole situation.

And once you do, give thanks if you are so inclined.

My site is the top hit on Google for exactly 75 ‘u’s in a row. It’s because of some lengthened expletive I wrote on a bad day some years ago, but I don’t know why Google chose to give me the position for 75 u’s… 74 and 76 go somewhere else.

Someone searched for it and found me, so whoever you are, I hope you found what you were looking for… whatever that was…

Yesterday was Groundhog Day and the State of the Union Address. As Air America Radio pointed out, “It is an ironic juxtaposition: one involves a meaningless ritual in which we look to a creature of little intelligence for prognostication—and the other involves a groundhog.”

It?s hard to argue that God hated Oklahoma. If He didn?t, why is it so close to Texas?

`She hit me on the head with the rock again.?
`I think I can confirm that that was my daughter.?
`Sweet kid.?
`You have to get to know her,? said Arthur.
`She eases up does she??
`No,? said Arthur, `but you get a better sense of when to duck.?

Men?s skin is different from women?s skin. It is usually bigger, and it has more snakes tattooed on it. Also, if you examine a woman?s skin very closely, inch by inch, starting at her shapely ankles, then gently tracing the slender curve of her calves, then moving up to her ?

[EDITOR?S NOTE: To make room for news articles about important world events such as agriculture, we?re going to delete the next few square feet of the woman?s skin. Thank you.]

Someone at netscape has a sense of humor… this is not fake, this is the article, while it’s still around.

bushSpeech. Just go, it’s genius.

The latest installment of misspeak from a president long known for his malapropisms came during a signing ceremony for a new $417 billion defense appropriations bill that includes $25 billion in emergency funding for operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.

“Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we,” Bush said.
