And They Say Bush Was The Idiot

Don’t know if this has been photoshopped or not, I have seen it in several places but don’t know it’s source…it’s damn funny though.

UPDATE! According this this site that has the original AP caption…not a photoshop job.

Here’s the caption as written: “President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama walk through a [...]

My Job Here is Done

I taught a course called “Congress and the Presidency” this summer and I’m polishing off the finals for that course as I begin the Fall semester tomorrow. Anyway… I asked the class, as part of a larger question:

Lasty, on which, if any, President did you either change your opinion from this class or merely [...]

Predictions

Ever notice how much Carnac looks like Floyd?

When President Obama speaks to America on Tuesday night about the war in Iraq he will be engaged in a political mission, one that will require the ultimate in political finesse. Democrats can’t claim much in the way of success after and [...]

Turn It Up Tuesday: Turn that frown blah-blah-blah

Set out to make a case for INXS’ rightful and beyond-deserved place in rock’s history for this week’s TIUT, but between Michael Been’s passing and, much more personally, one of my best friends apparently losing his mind before going MIA towards the end of last week, just hasn’t been a happy time of late. Sure, [...]

Rest In Vinyl

Eric… I have found the perfect way… when that day comes decades hence — that you should be memorialized. L.P. = Late Porvaznik — What record would you be memorialized as? The company at the link will take your ashes and make them into vinyl records.

Some Things To Remember Tomorrow

When you hear President Obama talk about victory in Iraq remember this…

“I am not persuaded that 20,000 additional troops in Iraq is going to solve the sectarian violence there. In fact, I think it will do the reverse.” – Senator Barack Obama in response to the POTUS.

OOPS, my bad.

Signs of the Apocalypse

This one will frighten you: I’ll be publishing a new book in the Spring of 2011. It’s called Regulators Gone Wild: How the EPA is Ruining American Industry and will be published by Encounter Books. The last Trzupek-authored tome was a techno-geek crap. This is a lot more in the political mainstream. Will it [...]

For those of you who love nostalgia there’s a nice little reminder in the video between 1:29 and 1:34.

The Mighty Thorium?

Calling all science guys and gals! I came across this piece in The London Telegraph on how thorium is the “magic bullet” — or may be — that renders oil and uranium obsolete.

There is no certain bet in nuclear physics but work by Nobel laureate Carlo Rubbia at CERN (European Organization for Nuclear [...]

Monday Open Thread

The Death of Socrates by Jacques Louis David (born this date in 1748)

White out

Jim Treacher has a rather solid re-capping of ledes from various reportage on Glenn Beck’s rally in Washington D.C. this weekend. Instead of focusing on the rally, the focus is on race. Quite ironic.

Some points:

I say this as a major Beck critic, and someone completely un-enamored with one Sarah Palin. Shouldn’t the press [...]

Warning Shot

Senator Jim DeMint (R-South Carolina) sums up what’s at stake this election cycle — should Republicans be given majorities again. From the Wall Street Journal:

I ask what so many voters are pondering: If Republicans win this fall, will they have learned the lessons from the overspending and corruption that got them tossed [...]

An Appreciation: Max Perlich

Coincidental reminder with recent viewings of Drugstore Cowboy and Cliffhanger how I haven’t seen Max Perlich, one of my favorite younger character actors from the late 80s/early 90s (read, my age at the time), too much in recent years, at least since Blow. Always loved his nervous, hyper-kinetic/wired and/or high performances (or all three [...]
