Awesome, just awesome. And features Jack Black and the star of Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along Blog. Even better.
What do you get when local talent working out of Lowell Telecommunications gets a little punchy? Why, SNAFUtv of course.
You can see them on the local cable channel, or now, on You-Tube. Just a fair warning, some of it is not safe for work! (Net-speak for a bit racy.) 
This PG-safe segment mocks PBS stuffy interview styles and so-called “experts” in a field.
Congrats to SNAFUtv for getting the First Place Award from the Alliance for Community Media!
The geek in me found this way too funny.
OK, kids, GOTV! Below is a post telling you how you can help Obama win.
John is right, this is damned creepy. Blast from the past from The Onion, where “Bush assured… that ‘our long national nightmare of peace and prosperity is finally over.’”
Mere days from assuming the presidency and closing the door on eight years of Bill Clinton, president-elect George W. Bush assured the nation in a televised address Tuesday that “our long national nightmare of peace and prosperity is finally over.”
President-elect Bush vows that “together, we can put the triumphs of the recent past behind us.”
“My fellow Americans,” Bush said, “at long last, we have reached the end of the dark period in American history that will come to be known as the Clinton Era, eight long years characterized by unprecedented economic expansion, a sharp decrease in crime, and sustained peace overseas. The time has come to put all of that behind us.”
Bush swore to do “everything in [his] power” to undo the damage wrought by Clinton’s two terms in office, including selling off the national parks to developers, going into massive debt to develop expensive and impractical weapons technologies, and passing sweeping budget cuts that drive the mentally ill out of hospitals and onto the street.
During the 40-minute speech, Bush also promised to bring an end to the severe war drought that plagued the nation under Clinton, assuring citizens that the U.S. will engage in at least one Gulf War-level armed conflict in the next four years.
“You better believe we’re going to mix it up with somebody at some point during my administration,” said Bush, who plans a 250 percent boost in military spending. “Unlike my predecessor, I am fully committed to putting soldiers in battle situations. Otherwise, what is the point of even having a military?”
On the economic side, Bush vowed to bring back economic stagnation by implementing substantial tax cuts, which would lead to a recession, which would necessitate a tax hike, which would lead to a drop in consumer spending, which would lead to layoffs, which would deepen the recession even further.
Wall Street responded strongly to the Bush speech, with the Dow Jones industrial fluctuating wildly before closing at an 18-month low. The NASDAQ composite index, rattled by a gloomy outlook for tech stocks in 2001, also fell sharply, losing 4.4 percent of its total value between 3 p.m. and the closing bell.
*shudder*
“Did she just slapshot the US Constitution?” “It’s just the Bill of Rights, Sir.”
Funniest Palin parody I have ever seen. And there’s been a LOT of funny Palin parodies out there on the interwebs.
My friends, when the Muppets get dragged out to portray you, it’s all over. (Statler as McCain. I almost choked laughing. And…Miss Piggy…pig…lipstick…bwahaha…)
Via Street Prophets. I don’t know who did the original image.
From absurd fake outrage to…something beyond self-parodying. Dday of Digby fame had called it on the lipstick whining - it was fascinating to read her post and watch that all unfold as predicted - but she forgot to mention that the Fake Outrage Brigade, which failed to get their meme “Obama is a sexist!” into the media (even the networks did a pretty nice job of calling it was it was, I guess even they couldn’t believe such absurd suppositions), are now turning to Obama’s…fishism.
No analogy is safe. So, let’s brainstorm the common phrases Obama should avoid because the FOB (Fake Outrage Brigade) will object. Let me start:
“That’s straight from the horse’s mouth.” Is Obama calling Palin ugly?
“They’re throwing everything at me but the kitchen sink!” Obama must be saying that Sarah Palin belongs in the kitchen. That’s sexist.
“They are showing their true colors.” This is Obama playing the race card from the the bottom of the deck!
“The writing is on the wall.” Obama must be accusing McCain of vandalism.
Your turn!
This is pretty high up on the humor scale for this election. Might even be the funniest thing I’ve seen since 2006.
Safe for work (and home). EDIT: Oops, one word not safe for work or kids. Heh. [Via AMERICAblog.]
Nothing funnier than an lolcat. It is its own internet phenomenon. If you are feeling blue, visit with some. Witness these awesome lolcats:
Adorable! And great spellers too! (The catspeak is half the point.)
The Union of Concerned Scientists recently had asked for submissions for Science Idol: the Scientific Integrity Editorial Cartoon Contest. The challenge was to submit an editorial cartoon highlighting political interference in science.
Now they have 12 finalists and they are asking people to vote to decide the winner. Vote here by Friday, August 8th.
Which is your favorite? I’m partial to number 11…the one with the lab coats.
