Get Your Dunkin Thursday



Last night the lady and I said "safe travels" to a long time friend as he is making the big move to Hollywood. Four years ago I trekked from Northern Virginia in a Toyota Corolla packed to the brim. My goal was "Sweet Home Chicago." I went for one reason, to get out and try something new. Scooter was my co-pilot. We hit up Chicago, lived near Wrigley, partied like none other, laughed more than ever, had our differences at times, gamed it up; most importantly he introduced me to my lady. Overall our friendship has sustained through the ups and downs of our contrasting lives and I wish him nothing but the best. The most rewarding part about our journey, however has been that Chicago ultimately led to us finding our specific callings. For those of you who have access to the Playstation Network I recommend watching Season 2 of the Tester (my insider information tells me its a good one) and root for Scooter as loud as you can. As for me, I will be heading out to Hollywood in about two to three years, ready to high five a brotha!

Here are your highlights:

Zach Galifianakis Take a Dark Turn

That Grayson Ad everyone liked, actually not what it should have been

Belatedly, Obama remembers his organizing roots

RIP Tony Curtis & Greg Giraldo

This is fantastic news, when do they take us over Independence Day style? Habitable Planet For Realz

The only bipartisan accomplishment this year. Eye on China, House Votes for Greater Tariff Powers. Now this is actually a good move as many have stated. But will it become FEAR THE YELLOW PEOPLE? Or will it simply make a clear statement to China to be more ethical? You know what would also help if Congress had a bipartisan consensus to quit shipping jobs overseas and enact a second stimulus. Pretty sure that would help more than any of this...

Chow!

A few comments:

1) You're not allowed to head to hollywood so Scooter better drag Hollywood back to Chicago kicking and screaming :)

2) On the Alan Grayson bit, the conclusions in that link are a bit flawed. Specificallly:

Female voters are anything but ambivalent about Grayson -- "They really loathe him," Lee reported. With Grayson's 33/53 favorable/unfavorable rating among women, Webster's lead among females is much stronger (45/33 over Grayson) compared to a statistical tie (41/40 Webster) among males.

Yes, that's true, but those numbers were true before the ad ran. Given that the ad was only hitting the lefty blogosphere as of Tuesday there's not been enough time to get a read on the ad's impact. So this ad may be a wise move by Grayson because it has the potential to hurt Webster's position amongst female voters. Let's see where those numbers are in another week and then we'll get a sense of it.

Having said that I've never been a fan of Grayson's style. I like him as a counter to the Republicans but I much prefer politicians who fight but do so in a respectful way.

Teh Funny Writes Itself

Not only is Obama teh devil and hates teh Jeebus , but also too and what have you, he is pushing the most aggressive liberal policies ever and destroying the country . ON TOP OF THAT, he is guilty of being completely incapable of performing his basic duties as president, a "new-hire college graduate" and surrounded by lazies . It has become increasingly difficult to write satire these days. I can't tell if the right-wing in America is attempting to out crazy comedians in order to render the jokes useless or the scarier and more likely; they have lost their minds and now fully embrace it.

Get Your Dunkin' Thursday

It's Thursday that means we have a new American Idol and it's... it's Kris Allen? Guess America still hates the "flamboyant", I smell a Clay Aiken retread. I didn't watch much of this year because it really came down to Danny Gokey and Adam Lambert for me and once I heard Kris Allen was in the final it was over in my mind. America votes for the "more likable" guy . But you know what was cool? Adam Lambert singing Queen! You could see the guitar legend Brian May drooling over the Freddy Mercury-esque vocal runs. It was rocktastic. Regardless both will have decent careers and the pie on the face of my local paper for running story after story of Adam is rather funny. Both guys have promising careers, there is always room for another Jason Mraz and America needs a Freddy Mercury . Wow. Did I really just dedicate that much analysis to American Idol? Here are your highlights: Bomb plot thwarted in New York , can't have terrorists in our prisons, sen...

Sarah Palin Mistakes Stimulus as Erectile Dysfunction Pill

moar funny pictures In Alaska politics are taking precedent as people are upset with Governor Sarah Palin’s rejection of her state’s share of the stimulus money. Palin said she wanted nothing to do with the stimulus package and found it to be of no use to Alaska. “ Look at our boys here ! My daughter was gosh golly gee knocked up by a young man. We don’t need stimulus packages, as long as they got a hockey jersey we got baby makers!” It has taken nearly a week for aides to Governor Palin to explain that the stimulus package is not a new form of Viagra, but she refuses to retain the information of terrorists. A confident leader Palin is excited to support American values and take care of Alaska . “Anybody wants to go wolf-huntin’ from a helicopter?” she said inciting a riot of a local moose appreciation club. It is unclear whether Palin will eventually accept the stimulus funds when she discovers what they actual represent for her state. Time will only tell. I am Frank Chow and I appro...
