Michelle Malkin has awesome coverage of last night’s CNN YouTube debate. Lots of fishy stuff going on. Over on a Dead Lantern thread, Mat questions the charges of bias being leveled at CNN over this issue. Whether you think CNN was out to get the Republicans or not, you cannot deny that the network is looking pretty foolish right now.
I really hope this lady is ok; that’s a nasty spill. You can’t deny that it’s funny, though.
And, of course, the internets have already made some great jokes about it…
Even though he’s not really eligible due to certain Constitutional restrictions, I’d still vote for Deejay.
Big ups to our pal Owen for suggesting that we go frolic in Woods Park today. It was a beautiful day outside and Genny had a ton of fun on the playground equipment.
Went to see this “nerdcore” rapper MC Frontalot tonight. It was a good time, I was really impressed that he had a live band and not just a DJ.
The openers were fun, too. Some local guys called The Awkwards and some dude named Schaefer the Dark Lord, whose mother apparently tours with him - which was a little weird. I wouldn’t want my mom there when I did a song comprised almost entirely of F-bombs.
So there’s another socialis… er, I mean Democrat debate tonight. All eyes will be on Hillary after her poor performance at the last debate. There’s a rumor going around that Wolf Blitzer has been “warned” not to be too rough on Mrs. Clinton tonight.
I’ve been reading some Media Matters lately (recommended for fans of feigned outrage) and they have a typically wacky set of guidelines for Blitzer.
I kind of want to watch the debate, but I’m also on the last couple levels in Manhunt 2, so I’ll probably rock the PS2 instead of the CNN. I’ll catch the debate highlights (or would that be lowlights?) in tomorrow’s news.
I’m having some writer’s block here, not sure what to post about. I kinda want to say something about how terrible Hillary Clinton’s campaign is doing right now, but I’m not sure how to lay that out. It’s pretty apparent to anyone who’s paying attention, but it’s still very early so she can definitely recover. I will be interested to see if Wolf Blitzer “pulls a Russert” on her in this next CNN debate.
Oh, in case you didn’t know, “pulling a Russert” means “asking Hillary any pertinent questions at all.”
For some filler, I was browsing around my forum, which has been pretty stagnant lately, and reading through some of our older threads. Some of them are pretty interesting to read, so you can kill some time checking these out. They all tend to meander a bit, but I think there’s some good stuff here…
Movie & radio censorship, Neal Boortz
Robots & artificial intelligence
New car safety features (this is a favorite of mine)
Abortion (because young men have the best ideas on this 
)
Electric cars, environmentalism as religion
I love to debate this stuff, these epic forum threads are so much fun to me. I guess the problem is that we repeat ourselves. I stand pretty firm on my side, Mat’s pretty firm on his side and we sort of say the same things over and over. Even so, I still love it. Mat has mentioned possibly doing a new political podcast with our pal Deejay. I would love to worm my way into that with them. We’ll see if it goes anywhere; we’ve got so many irons in the fire, it’s hard to fit it all in with jobs and family priorities.
I bought this issue of Mad Magazine because the artwork of a zombified Alfred E. Neuman on the cover is amazing; I’d like a big poster-sized print of it. I used to buy Mad pretty often when I was a kid. I even had an Alfred t-shirt. Tina hated that shirt… I wonder where it went…
But, anyway, I got this issue of Mad and was reading through it and I must say I’m pretty disappointed. It’s just not as funny as I remember. Most notably, some segments of the magazine seem to be targed at almost a “tween” demographic. Jokes about how middle school is tough and how the school bus driver is smelly. Was that stuff always in there, and I just didn’t notice it because I myself was in that age group back then?
There’s a lot more color and the pages are more of a glossy magazine stock, instead of the old black-and-white newsprint-style pages. I don’t prefer the color and gloss. There are also several advertisement pages, which I didn’t remember the old magazines having.
It’s always a bummer to revisit something you liked a lot in your youth only to have it not hold up. Maybe I just got a weak issue?
