2. S/he owes me a keyboard

I should never read anything labeled "hilarious" while I'm drinking my morning tea.

The monitor needed to be mopped up, too.

A teaser for folks who don't click on blind links:

The McSame Campaign has managed to conjure up out of a very ugly place a double-duty bit of soft-core raceporn that gives a carefully measured dog-whistle to the cultural iconography of the black man both as slavering monster and shuffling minstrel.

All in 32 seconds.

Somewhere in the Eighth Circle of Hell -- down among the malebolgias reserved for for seducers, panderers, barrators (sellers of public office) and false councilors -- Lee Atwater is roasting on a spit...and smiling.

I mean, why beat around the bush? NPI.

7. Ha - That statue with John McCain's face Photoshopped on it

Is the Tulsa Driller. Even though we're not the oil boomtown of yore, we still have a lot of oil-related mascots - our second division baseball team is the Driller, hockey team - the Oilers, and arena football team - The Valdezes.

Not really on that last one.
