Austin Powers
While vacationing a few weeks back found this on the wall of the Dayton Art Institute.
Out of curiosity, I did the math and figured out that if this kid is of normal age ~13 yrs of age in 8th grade that would make him born in 1995; two years prior to the launch of Austin Powers the movie.
All I can say is: I hope this guy changes his name at 18 to make his middle name Danger.

Best of Craigslist
Today one of my friends from school just introduced me to the Best of Craigslist.
My buddy being straightforward with me had me go right to the Battle Asses. That's right, an actual post on Craigs list that is nothing more than someone who ate bad food and had a fart and stink war with someone else from the office. I can't even fathom how much disgust this man must have, or how much spare time he has in order to begin the battling of asses let alone write about it!
Man with too much spare time seeks Nemesis. That's right folks, everything is going well so I'm going to pay someone to make my life miserable. Creative, but dumb.
There are some pretty extreme postings up there to include this quiz for possible girlfriend position. Does the guy actually expect women of quality to spend time filling out a set of questions? But, I will give him one thing, he was smart enough to put the entire list of prerequisites of the relationship in question format from the onset.
Now for an apology that has good advice. I don't know if the apology is warranted as much as it should be a full "A-ha" moment. The full apology is from a woman saying she is sorry to all the guys in the world for how hard it is to understand what a woman wants. Here's the kicker, she learned all of this because she became a lesbian and was trying to sleep with a girl. To sum up the story though: she spent quite a few dates trying to figure out what the girl she wanted to sleep with wants and realized this is what guys do on dates. Now, I feel insulted to be grouped up with only thinking about sex non-stop during a date. I understand where she is coming from when it is about trying to understand the woman you are on a date with, I'm pretty confident and can say any guy who has been on a date with a girl has had those thoughts. But even if you are attracted to the girl doesn't mean you are thinking about sex nonstop. I guess this woman doesn't realize men can't think about sex nonstop: we have a penis. It really does get in the way of being horny in public.
Now to end it with the fun post:
An attack kitten! I seriously just recommend reading this one because it's very entertaining for all those cat owner/lovers out there!

Thank you "The Onion"
Reason for joy: http://www.theonion.com/content/news/evolutionists_flock_to_darwin
The Onion in its ability to spin items that are normal controversy into a laughing matter has struck again. For point of the infamous Cheesus and before that the Pretzels, I feel that The Onion finally threw them a good bone of humor and spun up a fake story about flocking to images of Darwin.
Thank you Onion!

Spin Analysis
With the VP selections getting dropped in the same week and McCain pulling a genius strategic maneuver of announcing his formally in the only Blue county in Ohio between Toledo and Cincinnati, I find myself looking between the networks spin of the candidates.
This election so far has been a constant uphill battle for the GOP with its ties to our sitting lame duck. Some of its biggest setbacks has been a popular discontent with "W" and his approval rating. Thirty percent of Americans approve of W's overall performance and even less for his handling of Iraq, a sure staple situation of this election. Or so I thought.
As Obama has been actively being seen as a force of change and freshness that can be brought to the Oval office, at least what he's playing his cards as, this is a direct move to undercut that idea. Here is a young, and supposedly up and coming GOP, candidate that is also female. Where normally I wouldn't consider this that great of a move there is a bit of genius behind it. As the selection was just announced this morning, I know of several female friends and family members that have already thrown their support that was originally behind Hillary to being behind McCain because of Palin alone. Some of them are even staunch pro-choice women, but it seems the gender card is winning alone on their plates.
While CNN has shown its colors early in how to aggressively attack the VP selection, Fox news is doing nothing but trumpeting Palin as a force of change and shaking up of the '08 Battle. Wait, this is a battle? Where's the guns, the artillery, the bloodshed? Oh, never mind, the only reason to play that card is to give support to the former P.O.W. and his military experience. Also, Fox is completely avoiding in supporting Palin on her own credentials but instead focusing on how McCain's choice is changing the race of the election.
CNN has acknowledged that this was a truly brilliant move, from the choice of person, to the location that it was issued from, albeit always with a note of 'risky' attached or even questioning McCain's sanity and mental health. Very interesting point of attack since McCain constantly cannot keep countries and political positions straight. Guess that McCain is really trying to show himself as something more than Old and Worn out. If he was really out of his mind, McCain would point out the fact that he shares a birthday with Michael Jackson.
On a somewhat unrelated note other than Fox news attempts to distract people, it seems Ann Hathaway was getting hit on by the lead singer of Maroon 5 during the Democrats National Convention in Denver, CO. Here is the link.

Who knew?
Given all political satire that arises from the incessant commercials during election years, I'm very glad some people are taking it in good humor.
Oh, and, she's still an idiot.

Fathers and Daughters
There are sometimes when its just amazing to see the connection that can be formed between fathers and daughters. Watching this video really just amazes me at how awesome it really can be.
This is a video of a father and daughter doing a video game costume combo. The little girl saying Scaawy is ridiculously cute sounding.

Citizen's Arrested for Attempting to Arrest a Criminal
Here is the original story referring to.
This needs to be reiterated: an 80 year old Reverend was arrested for attempting to do the right thing. Karl Rove has evaded a congressional subpoena and not been indicted for it. While this alone is worthy of being livid about, the fact that citizens were arrested for doing the job of our elected officials is what pushes it to the point of outrageous.
V for Vendetta, 1984, and Animal Farm couldn't capture how messed up this situation is. When official criminals aren't prosecuted, citizens are arrested for doing the right thing, and the eventual lack of follow up by major government action results in the official okay for said actions. What type of society has this country fallen into when criminals run the country and get away with violation of actions what would get people thrown away for life sentences in all other positions.

Muppets on Internet
Somehow one of my childhood joys has migrated, on its own accord, to the internet!
It's the Muppets. Not as some breakdown tv ported video hack someone threw together to move it over, but actually posted by the creators of the current existence of the Muppets!
Here are the youtube videos and as a choice of favorite Muppet it's always been a hard one between Beeker and the Swedish Chef!
As a final thought though: 'BOUT DAMN TIME!
Introduction by the Cranky old guys:

A blog that writes itself
Seriously, how could this be passed up? Honestly, when you are hiring "Fact Writers" you are just outright admitting how you run your business as a fake news agency.Can't write anymore, it's just too easy at this point...

Ode to Cranky Sarcasm
Rest In Peace George Carlin...
Some people will probably be jumping on the bandwagon of wishing George here to rest in peace after passing away.
I find myself thinking of all his aspects on religion and higher power and wondering if its pissing him off to no end that people are wishing him to rest in peace. He once stated that people who say "Have a nice day!" piss him off. He liked to respond with "I have other plans," then storm off.
Another great part of George was his ability to put things in a perspective that distorted the classic vision or common understanding of it. Especially regarding religion. One of his best rants, in my opinion, is how God is bad with money. Be warned that the all powerful, all seeing, all knowing being that created the cosmos is watching you masturbate, but he's bad with money. That's why you are asked to donate part of your earnings when you go to church, because the all powerful all knowing being can't quite keep tabs on it all and spends it a bit too quickly. This was part of George's great charm, being a cranky old bastard who looked at the mass of society like a bunch of sheep in a controlled box and told them exactly how retarded we all looked and acted.
Some aspects of George's personality pissed off a lot of people, mainly the Catholics, because he had a lot of bad things to say about the Catholic religion, but then, he also had a lot of bad things to say about anyone and everyone. Still he openly admitted he was Catholic until he reached the age of reason.
So with that quick knee jerk reaction to George Carlin, I wish him to go fuck himself and to make sure not to lend the big guy any money.
