Captain John McCain and the Curse of the Keating Five

For some reason, John McCain is now a pirate of the Caribbean. Perhaps he is just trying to thank major contributor Klaus Badelt?

My birthday is around the corner

You should get me one of these. (Thanks to Coxtopherson)

SPRING BREAK!!!! WOOOO!!

Excellent.

Nickelsuck

I don't much care for Nickelback, mainly because all of their songs sound exactly the same to me. This post proves just what I mean when it layers two Nickelback tunes against each other. Simply amazing. I can almost picture the group in some rehearsal space.

Bill says we need to write another tune. What do you guys thing about just taking one of the old ones and changing the words? I bet no one will notice!!!!!!! WRONG.

Nickelback Songs

I don't think there is a tasteful way to describe this

So I won't. I will only recommend that you should not look for remixes of this commercial unless you want to be thoroughly disgusted. (Thanks to Jeffro)

The results? Oh man, they're good!

I don't know where you find these, Sad Panda...

Scooter Conviction

I'm sure you all know by now, but former White House official Lewis "Scooter" Libbry was just convicted of lying to federal investigators. (Story at the BBC)

It sure is a good thing

That James Dobson isn't just a mouthpiece for the neoconservative political institution. He just happens to think that caring about the state of the environment is evil and divisive, while trying to regulate the morals of non-Christians is ethically sound. Meanwhile, Rev. Richard Cizik is probably on the verge of some massive friend turnover.

From the New York Times article:
“We have observed that Cizik and others are using the global warming controversy to shift the emphasis away from the great moral issues of our time.”

Time for another Mitch Hedburg quote

"See I'm a dreamer, man, and when I was a cook I'd always work with people who weren't dreamers. Like, I was cooking at this restaurant and I put a hot dog on the grill and my kitchen manager came over, and he said, 'Mitch, put the hot dog up here, in the right hand corner of the grill, so in case you get a whole bunch of orders at once you have all this space available.' See that's how I knew he wasn't a dreamer, 'cause the day I give up my dreams is the day I have strategic grill locations. A dreamer has a philosophy: the entire grill is hot." (more)
