Hindsight is 20/20

Here’s a quick clip to remind everyone that when you treat those with opposing views with obnoxious contempt, you can almost certainly count on looking like at a douche at some point. Watch everyone laugh at Peter Schiff who very accurately predicts events back in 2006. Great stuff.

Impressions That’ll Knock Your Socks Off

Howard Stern


Stewie Griffin


Michael Caine

The Apple iRack

Ah, the joy of humor. What do you get when you combine Apple and Steve Jobs with a little George Bush? Answer: comedy gold!

What’s Your Favorite Curse Word?

What’s yours? I have to agree with Zach Braff, whose favorite swear word is “motherfucking cunt pussy-licking tit-fuck bitch face“.

Video Vault June 15, 2007

I’ve been watching this show “America’s Got Talent, which is the stateside version of “Britain’s Got Talent,” which spawned this cute little entertainer, Connie, who sings Somewhere Over the Rainbow and this guy, who sings opera.

“Cocky” seems to be the prevailing “cool” attitude these days, but while most find it a merely a turn-off, some will regret their cockiness forever, like this idiot bicyclist.

Every heard of this band “The Wrong Trousers?” Here’s their gem cover of Video Killed the Radio Star and a short concert that includes a great Flaming Lips cover.

Two dudes play the theme to Beverly Hills 90210 on the same guitar, which is kinda cool.

And lastly, the vanishing doorway, which is a fantastic prank.

Baby vs. Cobra

Scratch this off the list of crazy ass shit I’ve never seen: a baby going head to head with a cobra snake. I wish I were kidding. But alas, I am not.

To Alberto Gonzales: “What DO you know?”

Fantastic video Congresswoman Maxine Waters of California grilling Attorney General Alberto Gonzales in his congressional hearing:

Gonzales won’t crack, because he can’t crack. Because the minute he does, it will expose corruption in this adminstration that pre-dates 9/11. Corruption that leads up to the very core of the executive branch. Corruption that may or may not expose an all out assault on Middle Eastern controlled oil reserves, government contracts, a bicameral government, indeed American democracy itself.

Batman Like You’ve Never Seen Him

Seriously, what in the blue hell is this? Is it comedy? Worse, was it meant to be serious? Are the speech impediments real? Did someone actually write a plot?

Batman: Defenders of the Night

Highlights: Batman is nearly beaten by a hood with a stick. The Riddler hits Robin in the head with his cane and then hits Batman in the nuts, all before caw’ing like a crow for no apparent reason.

Defenders of the Night was so good it warranted this sequel:

Batman: Dark Betrayals

Highlights: Bruce calls Alfred from a car that isn’t moving. Commissioner Gordon works in a bedroom that has laundry all over the floor. Robin sells cocaine and then steals a dog. The criminals continue to take Batman seriously despite the fact that he’s clearly wearing pyjamas.

You owe it to yourself to watch these both all the way. It will blow your mind.

We Thrive on Conflict

So, I started thinking that I spend a lot of time angry. Angry at this nasty, deplorable administration, angry about stupid people and practices, angry about oversensitivity and having a general hatred for most of what mankind has become. Writings like this one by Kurt Vonnegut fire me up, and then I have to deal with stuff like this story, where a girl is being sued for saying “That’s so gay.” How about this wimp puss knucklehead guy who is suing a 7 year old girl for mistakenly rollerblading into his way while he was on his bike. Let’s not forget the most important story in American: the conflict over the final resting place of Anna Nicole Smith trial.

It’s just part and parcel of things – we stupid humans get get worked up about the most stupid things. I mean, seriously …why? Life is way too short for the riduculousness we force ourselves to endure.

We as humans thrive on conflict. We crave it. We hunger for it. We create things just to breed it. Our most revered events are based on competition which is just a more benign form of conflict.

So I am going to do my part and report, at least once in awhile, some GOOD things. Things that are good for the spirit. Things that are hopeful and inspiring. Things that make your feel good on the inside. Things that aren’t just long rants about how George W. Bush has broken America or somesuch.

Here’s the first one: A few months ago, I saw this story about this kid Benjamin Underwood, who lost his eyes to cancer at 3 years old. Since then, he’s developed his sense of hearing so profoundly that he uses a click system, known as echolocation, when found in animals like bats, to “see.” Ben is capable of detecting the most minute changes in frequency and timing, and as a result, can judge the distance to certain objects. He’s so fine-tuned his skills that he can actually pretty close guess what objects are in front of him. It’s really quite amazing. Watch the video, and hopefully you’ll feel as warm as I did.

Worst basketball fall EVER!
Ouch! Luke Whitehead, I do NOT want to be you.

How much would it take for you to kill a puppy with your bare hands? I’m sad to say, for some it’s less than you’d think. For others, it’s more. Either way, it’s WEIRD to watch people process the question.

Fuck the Shit!
The sad part is that I can’t get this song out of my head.

Nicccccccce!
I’ve been saying this for weeks. …And pissing my wife off.

Trigger Happy TV
EVERY TIME I hear this ring, I think of this. THAT’S quality.
