Musical tastes in tune with who you are: Heavy Metal fans are delicate things….AWWW. Cute. Plus just what the world needs. Science based marketing strategies….’Cause music has always been hard to market. Which by the way is apparently the reason we are all wasting so much time on tumblr for free. Fuck science and the scientists it rode in on. Holla’

Hillary Supporters for Palin: The Facebook Group:

The pundits insist that there’s no such thing as a former Hillary Clinton supporter who now supports Sarah Palin. They regard such a creature as fanciful, the political equivalent of a purple unicorn (purple = red + blue). Prove them wrong, and join this group!

And then prepare for me to pee on you, because when I see you, all two of you, I swear I’m peeing on you.

Oh shits…

Palin is stonewalling the Troopergate investigation:

Gov. Sarah Palin is taking the wrong approach to Troopergate. She should be practicing the open and transparent, ethical and accountable government she promised when running for governor and boasts about now that she’s on the national stage.

Instead, Gov. Palin has begun stonewalling the Legislature’s attempt to get the bottom of allegations that she, her family or staff violated ethical or state personnel rules.

As a result, the Troopergate allegations hang over Palin’s future and cloud her candidacy for vice president.

The Alaska Daily News has officially become mandadory reading for the next two months.

Alaska statutory rape laws declare that anyone who is 18 years old or older who has sex with a person who is 16 or 17, or who is at least three years younger than the offender, can be charged with sexual abuse in the third degree. This is also a felony.: Hey, that Levi dude should maybe be arrested?

- Actually John, she sold it at a loss of half a million dollars… not on eBay, either.

A warm little ditty to wash away the week….

-Me and My Arrow (Harry Nilsson)

I’ve seen this sentiment echoed a bunch on some blogs today, but I’ll say it again because I think it is very much worth repeating:

McCain’s speech last night was the kind that one gives at the end of one’s political career, not the beginning. To use a big-ish word, it was valedictory. When McCain loses, the party of ‘big ideas’ will have obviously run out of them. Not that I believe for a second they had any in the first place, but still, when McCain’s only solution to the numerous crises this country is facing is to talk about some shit that he personally went through back in the ’70s, he’s basically treading water, and his legs are getting stiff and tired. After he drowns, and trust me, he will drown, it will be in an ocean of his own sorry tears. They will have been shed because in his attempt to fulfill his ultimate goal in life, he will have come to embody everything that he once despised.

To John McCain! May the Ambien ease his pain.

-1 CBC accused of losing emails from upset listeners of Radio 2. Apparently Radio 2 listeners are too cheap to get a CD player.

-5 Nobody tells Emerson what to do, no matter how much humiliation it will cause him. Which is why he may still run for the Tories.

+10 Former Chief Mountie says RCMP should ban use of tasers. Which would have been a lot more useful when he still had the job and could have actually done it.

+10 Thank goodness the police still have access to tasers while the scourge of bus-queue jumping exists.

+10 Some City official in Prince Rupert’s wife got $100,000 in City contracts. Which we don’t really care about but did you know that Prince Rupert is the only city in BC without Telus? The City owns the telephone company and you can get free wake up calls just by dialing your phone. Who knew?
