Egad!!! A human being was elected for President!

Time Magazine today chose Barack Obama "2008's Person of the Year", caping a magnificent year for the Hawaiian born African-American President elect.

Time also uncovered a long forgotten photo of him, when he was in college, smoking what appears to be a joint! Actually it was a hand rolled cigarette, but he looks so freaking cool!!!!

I also found an old photo of our actual lame-duck-shoe-dodging President in college being a male cheerleader.

Somebody please throw more shoes at this guy!!!

And light a doobie for our benign new overlord!

If its Goya, it has to be...a human ear?

While looking for black panthers in Cupey and cute chibi cosplayers in San Juan, this news came as a surprise.

Juana Hernandez was getting ready to prepare dinner for her family in her Carolina home, when she opened a can of Goya tomato sauce. To her surprise, she found something that resembled a human ear.

A human ear.

You read right.

Immediately police and forensics were called and took the "ear" away for analysis.

No word yet from the authorities on whether the thing actually is human in origin.

Meanwhile, the family hired an attorney and made a statement to Goya to re-check their procedures and to investigate.

Humm! Cooked ear for supper!

Yummy!

UPDATE - 12-17-08

It was not a human ear, it was identified as a fungus ball! Not as cool, but unappetizing never the less.

Hilarious!!!!

Lame duck president George W. Bush went on a surprise visit to Baghdad. The surprise was on him!

President George W. Bush ducked two shoes thrown at him by a man during a press conference in the Iraqi prime minister’s office to mark the signing of a security agreement.

Bush wasn’t hit by the shoes, which both sailed over his head after they were thrown one after the other. The president shrugged and said “I’m OK” after the incident in Baghdad today. “All I can report is it is a size 10,” Bush said afterwards.

In Arab culture, throwing shoes is a grave show of disrespect. “This is the farewell kiss, you dog,” the man shouted in Arabic.

After U.S. troops pulled down a statue of former dictator Saddam Hussein in 2003, Iraqi bystanders tossed shoes at it, according to news reports at the time. Bush said today’s incident was an example of free speech in a democracy.

The man threw the shoes from about 25 feet away as Bush, standing with Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, made formal remarks before the signing of the Iraqi-U.S. agreement. Maliki tried to block the second thrown shoe as it flew toward Bush, according to video of the incident shown on television.

The shoe-thrower, who was in a group of journalists, was wrestled to the ground and taken away. “This is from the widows, the orphans and those who were killed in Iraq,” shouted the man, later identified by the Associated Press as Muntadar al-Zeidi, a correspondent for Al-Baghdadia television, an Iraqi- owned station based in Cairo, Egypt.

At the signing ceremony, Bush said a free and democratic Iraq will now become “a force for freedom” and a “source of stability in a volatile region.”

“There is still more work to be done,” Bush said. “The war is not over.” The president said that with the agreement, “and the courage of the Iraqi people, and the Iraqi troops, and American troops and civilian personnel, it is decisively on its way to being won.”

Man! There is nothing more to say! Enjoy!

Wolverine to host the Oscars?

Yup! This sounds like a desperation move to me.

After last year's disappointing performance by John Stewart, that resulted in the lowest ratings ever for the telecast, the Academy of Motion Pictures, Arts and Sciences have asked Hugh Jackman, actor, singer and dancer, best known for his roles in the X-Men series as Wolverine, to host the 81st Academy Awards in Hollywood on Feb. 22nd of next year.

The Academy says that a "new look and a new direction is needed".

In other words, the have fallen behind in the times!

The couldn't capture the younger audience they want!

They say, and I quote, "There will be more emphasis in dance and song this time."

Get ready to see crappy Oscars next year!

I don't dislike Hugh Jackman as a host, he has been a great host at the Tony Awards for theater, and will give some glamour back at the ceremony that was lacking in the last few years. But if the Academy wanted a new direction, why don't they try this method...

Nominate movies that actually people watch!!!!

Look at the Golden Globes this year, they have nominated a lot of art films that have bombed at the box office.

Can somebody say what film was this year's top performer?

That's right class..."The Dark Knight"!

How many nominations for the GG's? One for Heath Ledger.

BORING!!!! Bet your sweet bippy I'm not watching that old fart snooze fest!!!

If the Oscars are going that way, in ten years, they'll be gone from TV.

The perfect Christmas gift...

After sad news, it's good to come back to outrageousness and laughter.

Here's a Christmas gift that should be included in every list...

A Lego-style figurine resembling an Islamic terrorist strapped with explosives and made by a small American company has caused an uproar among Muslims and non-Muslims alike.

The controversial miniature figure, created by Seattle-based Will Chapman as part of his BrickArms military fighters line, is a bearded militant with a face-covering hood, a tiny toy assault rifle, a little grenade launcher and plastic bombs that can be attached to an explosives belt.

The character is called "Bandit — Mr. White" and sells for $14.

The jarring toy has outraged the British Muslim organization known as the Ramadhan Foundation, which called the figurine "absolutely disgusting," according to Sky News.

The foundation's chief executive, Mohammed Shafiq, complained that the toy is "glorifying terrorism."

C'mon! Admit it! It's freaking cute!!!

I'm getting one, you infidels!!!

Bettie Page, 1923-2008

We read the sad news this morning.

Bettie Page, the brunet pinup queen with a shoulder-length pageboy hairdo and kitschy bangs whose saucy photos helped usher in the sexual revolution of the 1960s, has died. She was 85.

Page, whose later life was marked by depression, violent mood swings and several years in a state mental institution, died Thursday night at Kindred Hospital in Los Angeles, where she had been on life support since suffering a heart attack Dec. 2, according to her agent, Mark Roesler.

Goodbye Bettie!
We will miss you!

Damn! 2008 has been brutal!
First Dave Stevens, then Forrest J. Ackerman.
They do go in threes!

Chipmunks take over lady's car!

Weird you want, weird you get!

Aw, nuts. That's likely what Hope Wideup thought when her car's turn signal and windshield wipers wouldn't work. It's also what she found later when she opened the hood. "There were thousands in there. They were everywhere," she said, speculating a chipmunk found its way into her car, which had been sitting idle for several weeks, and used the engine compartment as a storage depot for a trove of
black walnuts.

Wideup thinks it all started last fall when a chipmunk snatched a garden glove from her yard. She later found the glove in the engine compartment when she was trying to repair the broken turn signal.

Unable to fix the problem, however, Wideup let the car sit unused for a couple of weeks and then heard a loud revving sound from the engine when she tried to start the vehicle.

That's when she looked under the hood again and found the walnuts.

"Apparently this little guy stuffed a bunch of these nuts in the accelerator throttle," said Wideup, who had to spend $242 for towing and repairs.

The chipmunk hasn't returned, Wideup told the Post-Tribune for a story published Wednesday. But she's not taking any chances, alternating use of her two cars so neither one is sitting too long.

"It's funny, but it's not," she said.

Alvin, get off that car...
Alvin...
ALVIN!!!!!
