The Boss is back with a new album set to debut in March. An interview I read recently said he was struck with the Occupy movement, and how it seems like we’ve been going round and round with the same crap for too damn long. This is the first single, which he performed on the Grammys a few weeks ago. It’s a pretty righteous rant. Shall we place our bets on how long it will be before a gooper uses it at a rally without authorization?

Peak Wingnut

Last night at yet another GOP debate there was a question about birth control and the audience booed. So far this year the audiences have booed a gay serviceman, poor people having insurance and then cheered Rick Perry when he bragged about how many people he’s executed as Governor of Texas. My queston is-have we reached peak wingnut? Is this the point at which the GOP implodes in upon itself in a massive frenzy of assholery, or can it get worse?

Discuss!

How freaking cute is this??? I love how the baby on the right keeps almost perfect time throughout the song. While the one on the left does almost as well while covering a lot more territory. Added bonus-their parents are obviously passing their great taste in music down to their kids. Also, the squealing/giggling/cooing is almost enough to make me want another one. Almost :)

What Is Wrong With This Picture
avatar

Posted on February 16, 2012 by

This a picture of a bunch of world-class assholes. As I am sure everyone is aware by now, the miserable- sack-of-skin-masquerading-as-a-human Darryl Issa held a “hearing” today regarding the birth control provisions in the ACA. As you can see there is one rather glaring omission here. Not one single woman testified!! Evidently they couldn’t even find a female to bolster their stupid argument that providing basic health care for women is somehow infringing on the religious rights of idiots. The one tiny sliver of silver lining here is that a group of Democratic women walked out of the hearing in protest. Henceforth I would like every woman Democrat in the House to attach a provision to every single bill that states that it would be a felony to allow even a single sperm to be wasted. After all, those eggs don’t fertilize themselves!

It’s Grammy time!! Tonight is the music biz’s big night, when they hand out those cute little gramophone trophies to great talents and hacks alike. Here are some nominees that are worth noticing:

Lady Gaga is up for Album of the Year for Born This Way. Yeah, she is more than a little over-the-top. But she’s put out some pretty good music since she hit the scene and this is one of my favorites.

The Band Perry is up for Best New Artist. They’re a brother/sister country group, but this is not hillbilly twang. They also wrote this.

This is one of the Song of the Year nominees by Bruno Mars. I only heard this recently and the more I hear it the more I like it!

A nominee for Best Pop Album, Ce-Lo Green is up for The Ladykiller. Love, love, love this! Great hook, smart lyrics, and the video is a riot-using Urkel? Genius!

But who am I kidding? There is only one artist who is going to rack up tonight and it’s this lady right here. Adele is up for 6 awards tonight, and chances are good she will win them all. She will also be on 60 Minutes before the show. I’ve seen a clip, and she is just darling. As much as I love her singing voice, I might just enjoy listening to her being interviewed even more. She’s completely comfortable in her skin, and is more than a little bit sassy :)

They’re probably scrambling right now, re-working the show to accomodate the sudden passing of Whitney Houston last night. I’m curious to see how they will handle it. Has anyone got a particular favorite that is in the running tonight?

Today is the Big Day! The Big Game!! The last game of the season, and a re-match of what they’ve been saying on sporting-type shows was one of the best Super Bowls ever. The G-Men won that one, who knows if they can do it again. The Patriots are going for ring #4, which is pretty impressive. If the Giants win, it will mean baby brother Eli will have twice as many Super Bowl rings as his more hyped brother. Bets will be placed, massive amounts of food and drink will be consumed, and of course the commercials will be watched with great interest. Hopefully there will be a good football game in there somewhere!

I am of two minds about this. On the one hand, it’s Ferris Bueller!!! On the other hand, Ferris is supposed to always be a senior in high school, playing hooky and having a blast in Chicago. But it does make my favorite part of Super Bowl Sunday better-watching the ads!

Then there’s this one, which is just a teaser for the new Volkswagen ad. I really like it, but I have to watch it with headphones on. The first time I started it was one night after everyone had gone to bed. When the dogs heard it they flipped out! They will have to go pretty far to top the awesomeness that was the Darth Vader ad from last year, though!

Open topic.  Time to do the hokey pokey.  Or talk politics.  Or something.

Yeah, that is my President. The coolest guy in the room, in a geeky sort of way. Can anyone seriously imagine any of the GOP clown-car-of-crazy pulling this off? Anyone?? Yeah…didn’t think so :)

Now that the Internet is back ….

Now that the internet is back on, I thought I’d tell all of you what you’ve been missing.  No, not the race for republican nominee, not the idiocy that pops out of the mouths of candidates, their surrogates, or the media, not even SOPA news or anything Obama has done.

You missed purity bears!

The Purity Bear Will Cockblock You Until You’re Married

Jezebel

The Purity Bear Will Cockblock You Until You're Married Hey guys, have you met The Purity Bear? He’s a plush toy who appears to tempted teens and warns them without moving his mouth that going inside a girl’s house will inevitably lead to sex having, and sex having before marriage is literally the worst decision you could possibly make.

In spite of the fact that this could easily be parody, this video is a very real effort to promote the very real Day of Purity. On that Pure of Days, everyone focuses on their genitals for awhile, and somehow that makes them better people. Pure people.

This Purity Bear video also teaches us an important lesson about women, namely that they’re usually the ones responsible for tricking men into getting turned on, and they’re always demanding sex from poor, defenseless, virtuous, chaste dudes. It happened in Twilight when Bella spent like 3 books humping Edward’s leg before he agreed to put out, it happened to Sir Galahad, the Chaste in that castle full of horny virgins, and it’s happening here, right on this now besotted doorstep. For shame, woman. For shame, women.

Visibly absent from this scenario was the Artie The Angry Trouser Python, who appears to men and tells them to never turn down a handjob.

Right Wing Watch even has video!

But, if you feel the need, you can talk about politics or news if you need to. But I will be sitting here wondering if and how junior there is cuddling with the bear with deep voice….
