Diebold Accidentally Leaks Results Of 2008 Election Early Sorry, just thought we all could use a little injection of humor. This comes after reading a profile piece on The Onion by Virginia Heffernan in the NY Times. Best quote: "If you can't trust your shadowy overlords to keep a secret, what is the purpose of voting in a puppet democracy?" Awesome. Back to your regularly scheduled program.

50 greatest comedy sketches of all time journalism, media, movies, video | (0)
One of the few movie critics whose opinion I trust, Nich Schager, points us to IFC's collection of the '50 Greatest Comedy Sketches of All Time.' Below is number eighteen: This isn't particularly journalism related, but I point this out for two reasons. One, it's damn hilarious and worth some time and a walk down memory lane. The collection includes genius bits spanning over 50 years of sketch comedy with gems like Monty Python's 'Spanish Inquisition' to SNL's 1978 'Olympia Restaurant' sketch which had John Belushi spouting, "Cheezborger! Cheezborger!" The second reason I point this out is that it is a fine example ...

Honestly Glenn, when you start speaking for everyone? This guy's is just a Rush wannabe, all he needs is the fat head. This isn't the first time he's pulled that, "...I don't think this, but many people do."What people? Bitch don't project your racist and fascist viewpoints onto the rest of America. Speak for yourself, we'll worry about ourselves.Tool.

Haggard. religion, video | (0)
This guy is so full of crap his eyes are brown. Bought meth, but didn't use it!? Right. Oh, he just went to a male escort for a massage. Yeah, that sounds aligned with the Christian ethic they so strongly tout. If you weren't closeted, why not go to a female escort for a massage? My favorite bit is the first line, "...we're really glad he [the accuser] failed the polygraph." Um, if you aren't guilty then you shouldn't have had any fear that he wouldn't fail. If you knew he was ...

Bubba vs. Wallace: P1 politics, video | (0)
For those that haven't seen it yet the interview between Bill Clinton and Chris Wallace has been floating around. FOX of course promos the video on their website as "Clinton Gets Crazed" because he sort of goes off on Wallace for baiting and switching.Apparently the deal was that they would split the interview 50/50 between talking about Clinton's Global Initiative and then whatever else Wallace wanted to talk about. The problem is that within the opening minutes of the interview Wallace immediately launches into a "Why didn't you kill Bin Laden?" line of questioning. Deciding not to ...
