additional proof that bacon is king.
be they the freedom or the french variety, fries are no match for bacon. need more proof? here ya go:
really doesn’t take a genius to know that a pig would beat a potato. unless that potato was shot out of one of these.
unfreakingbelievable - but finally, i am once again proud to be an american.
there’s a million newspapers out there, all of which sarah palin reads if you put them in front of her, but i had to choose my old hometown gazette:
i am both shocked and incredibly pleased to know that my home state, traditionally the first to go red before the polls even close, went blue [...]
get out and VOTE. for obama. :)
as an undergrad at indiana university, i double majored in telecommunications and, somewhat unusually to most people as a white dude, african american studies. i left that program with what i’d think was a probably higher awareness of what race relations in the US were truly like, getting a fat dose of actual american [...]
way to save the world, ktvu.
tonight on the 10pm news, ktvu ran a story about hybrid cars and whether or not the added cost was really such a great deal for drivers or if it was a bunch of “hybrid hype”. the report included statistics which calculated that recouping the additional cost of buying a prius, for example, would [...]
“study says many studies suck”

new art project
I spent a few minutes this weekend playing around with Gimp and created a small collection of political satire in the form of Army recruiting posters.
the call to remove embedded reporters in Iraq
If you haven’t heard, a sniper video obtained from insurgents in Iraq which has been aired by CNN has created a huge controversy. I just watched Rep. Duncan Hunter, chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, sit on CNN and tell Wolf Blitzer that this coverage undermines American morale and basically questions who [...]
“What type of democracy do you impose with marines and bombs?”
Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez made quite the spectacle at the UN the other day (you can read the partial transcript here.), sounding like a little bit of a looney by calling Bush “the devil” and saying “it smells of sulfur still today.” Personally, I would reckon Bush’s odor to be something of a combination [...]
