NO LOVER OF GUNS AM I...This story is just a wee bit embarassing for the German police... especially because the French authorities figured it out. Probably while eating brie and sipping Chardonnay.
It's the old story of a guy asks a chick to marry him, she says "no," he throws sulfuric acid at her, she takes him to court and gets permission to pour acid in his eyes.
I think the story was originally made popular on Three's Company.
Read it here if you don't believe me...

I used to religiously watch David Letterman in college, when he was on NBC. Before Jay Leno screwed him out of the Tonight Show. Four nights a week I'd take a break from my studies (when I wasn't working) and I'd laugh my ass off at whatever ridiculous or ego-deflating move Dave would pull on his show. I remember when Cher called him an asshole and he brilliantly, and cleverly, put her in her place. I remember when Stevie Nicks' people sent him a threatening letter not to mention her on his show and then he spent weeks mocking her. Letterman has a mean streak once you cross him and he isn't afraid to let you have it.
I haven't seen much of the show for the last decade or so. Occassional clips here and there. I think I've only seen one or two full episodes. But if you watch this clip, it's clear Dave still has it.
Joaquin Phoenix acts like a pretentious asshole and Letterman plays along for about 2 minutes before he starts to openly mock him (round about the 'unibomber' line).
If someone screws around with Dave's show --Letterman clearly hates actors and actresses who act like they're too good to be there-- he has no problem bitch slapping them but good. And the truth is, you're a fool if you think you can get the upper hand on the dude. I've seen him effortlessly put Bill O'Reilly in his place.
Or was the whole things a put on? An Andy Kaufman moment. You decide.
Watch and laugh...

This is pretty shocking stuff. I can't believe people eat this crap. I'm ashamed to say I've eaten one item on the Top 20 Worst Foods In America. Although, I haven't had pizza at Pizzaria Uno in like 20 years. And I think I've only ever been there twice.
Baskin Robbins Large Chocolate Oreo Shake2,600 calories135 g fat (59 g saturated fat, 2.5 g trans fats)263 g sugars1,700 mg sodium. We didn't think anything could be worse than Baskin Robbins' 2008 bombshell, the Heath Bar Shake. After all, it had more sugar (266 grams) than 20 bowls of Froot Loops, more calories (2,310) than 11 actual Heath Bars, and more ingredients (73) than you'll find in most chemist labs.
Rather than coming to their senses and removing it from the menu, they did themselves one worse and introduced this caloric catastrophe. It's soiled with more than a day's worth of calories and three days worth of saturated fat, and, worst of all, usually takes less than 10 minutes to sip through a straw.

I have no idea what they're saying but I'm dying to know.
From what I understand the plot involves a 6-foot tall talking koala who is an executive at a pickle manufacturing plant. Charming with the ladies and oh-so furry he may also be a brutal killer. Or so his boss, a white rabbit begons to suspect.
This movie looks unreal.... in that way that only Japanese movies can be.
Khan! While he's best known for his iconic villian in Star Trek: Wrath Of Khan (still the best of the Trek films) and the amiable wish-granter Mr. Roarke in Fantasy Island (not to mention his Cordoba commercials), Montalban masterfully played the latin lover in many a Hollywood studio film in the 30s and 40s. He was 88 when he died.
The man not only had a lush and sonorous voice, everything about him exuded class and sophistication. He was also a helluva dancer.
Check him out in this version of La Bamba. Just wonderful!

For those of you who have seen The Prisoner or The Secret Agent no other explanation is necessary. He will be missed.
For those of you who only know him from Bravehear as the ruthless King Longshanks, go to AMC's site and watch a few episodes of the brilliant and bizarre The Prisoner, a show he not only starred in but helped to create. I'm not ashamed to say that I have no idea what his final episode is trying to say.
His annunciation was to die for (see his villian in Silver Streak) and he always brought a bit of macabre class to the episodes of Columbo that he appeared in.
Here's a taste:

FOR THE STAR WARS FAN WHO HAS EVERYTHINGWhen book burning draws too much attention, why not just tear out the 'naughty bits' from library books? Students at New Rochelle School High School discovered that library books have had chunks torn out of books like Girl Interrupted by the school district. After the all, the last thing these educators would want is for students to actually think for themselves.

Sarah Palin 'pardons' a turkey as part of a Thanksgiving Day media event ...then proceeds to chat with reporters as less worthy turkeys are brutally slaughtered behind her.
Oddly enough, it reminds me of that moment in the debates when she completely ignored Joe Biden's story about his losing his wife and child in a car crash.

If you don't know who Jack Chick is, he's a a California-based cartoonist who draws comic tracts that espouse Protestant evangelism.
You know, fire & brimstone-you're-going-to-hell-because-you-masturbated kinda stuff. Probably a lot like the stuff Sarah Palin's church pushes. (You knew I'd find a way to dis her in this post, didn't you?)
And now he's got an animated cartoon for my fave, Somebody Goofed.

Well, it's inspired an avalanche of outakes, spoofs, political comment and naked racism. Here's a gallery.
Some are brilliant. Some are appalling. Some made me laugh so hard milk spurted out of my nose.
Still, it's fascinating to see how people riff on pop culture at the speed of light.

Now, what makes the video you're about to watch (below) so brilliant is how the filmmakers reunited the cast to make a pointed political statement.
I love the creativity that has come --directly & indirectly-- with Obama's campaign.

BROCCOLI, YUM! ESPECIALLY THE LITTLE HUMAN HEADS
Now, if I were tripping on acid and noticed this it'd totally freak me out.Wednesday, October 22, 2008
These two articles make a good case for Palin's suspicion and resentment of anyone who might be smarter than her.... which is a whole heckuva lot of people. Let's not forget it took her 6 years in 5 colleges to finally get a Bachelor's degree in Sports Journalism from Idaho State.
But in Sarah's world that's the same as Barack Obama graduating top of his class at Harvard Law, being the first African-American to head up Harvard's Law Review and his subsequent years teaching Constitutional Law. After being raised by a single mom on food stamps.
Anywho, The New Republic has a terrific article called "Barracuda" that offers an eye-opening profile.
Here's an excerpt:
And then there's Andrew Sullivan's observation that:In 1996, Palin was also asserting herself more and more. For example, she'd demand to know why Stein, the mayor, had "raised the budget." Stein and Carney tried to explain that he'd done nothing of the kind--that, when a city grows, businesses collect more in tax revenue, but that new residents also increase demand for public services. Palin wasn't appeased. She'd say things like, "'Oh, okay. Well, that's the way you think about it,'" Stein recalls. "I was thinking--these are things she should know better. Why is she asking me these stupid questions?"
Carney saw ulterior motives. During a break one evening, he stopped Palin as she was heading to the restroom. "Sarah, it sounds like you're running for mayor," he said, half-joking. Palin turned red and became visibly upset. "What makes you say that? I never said I was running for mayor." "You never denied it, " Carney responded. Palin just repeated herself and stomped off.
Within a few months, Palin was officially challenging Stein and exploiting the cultural shift masterfully. She welcomed a national anti-abortion group in to carpet bomb Wasilla with pink postcards affirming her pro-life bona fides. She orchestrated an NRA endorsement and a mailing from the group falsely proclaiming Stein, a lifelong hunter, "anti-gun." (Stein complained to the local newspaper that Palin was telling voters he wanted to "melt down" all the firearms in the state.) And, in a move practically out of
Karl Rove's playbook, she dwelled on how Stein's wife used her maiden name, going so far as to demand a marriage certificate as proof of their nuptials. Palin's campaign literature proclaimed her "deeply devoted to conservative family values"--all in the context of an ostensibly nonpartisan election. (Stein himself was a moderate Republican.)
Here's one way to look at the question: how has Palin brought up her own kids? Her eldest son is a high-school drop-out. Her eldest daughter has had, so far as one can tell from press reports, very uneven attendance in high school, and no plans for college. Her other daughters seem to spend a lot of time traveling the country with their mom at tax-payers' expense. I've seen them at several rallies with the Palins this fall. Are they not in school?
The least one can say is that none of her children seems to have been brought up thinking that college is something to aspire to. And her new son-in-law just dropped out of high school as well.
What makes people think this woman should be allowed anywhere near the White House? She's the Tanya Harding of politics. Except instead of working her ass off relentlessly to become a world class skater only to throw it all away by stabbing a teammate in the back, Palin skipped straight to the backstabbing part.
Look, I can sorta understand why Budweiser dudes want to bang her. She's got that naughty librarian thing going on. Go ahead, bang the hell out of her. Just don't vote for her.
P.S. It astounds me that Sarh Palin claims she's just like "small town" folks yet spends $150K in two short months on clothes for her campaign. That's as much as the average American makes in 4 years. Explain to me how she's just like Joe Six Pack?
He has a brilliant essay in The New Yorker that scorches the so-called undecided, those who just can't decide between Barack Obama or John McCain. A frined thinks it's really white people who don't want to admit that they'd never vote for a black man. Lord, I hope that ain't so.
Sedaris has a better line of reasoning. Here's a taste...
I look at these people and can’t quite believe that they exist. Are they professional actors? I wonder. Or are they simply laymen who want a lot of attention?
To put them in perspective, I think of being on an airplane. The flight attendant comes down the aisle with her food cart and, eventually, parks it beside my seat. “Can I interest you in the chicken?” she asks. “Or would you prefer the platter of shit with bits of broken glass in it?”
To be undecided in this election is to pause for a moment and then ask how the chicken is cooked.
Read the rest here.
McCain's main spokesperson, NancyPfotenhauer, struggles to defend Sarah Palin's ignorance about the job she's running for. Contrary to the State of Alaska's CEO's explanation, the VP does NOT "get in there and work with the Senate to make policy". They only cast a vote if there is a tie.
That's it.
And they need to be ready to step in should the Prez be unable to fulfill the duties of his office.
Palin's been fearmongering...er... running alongside McCain for more than six weeks. Hasn't anyone given her a job desciption yet?

Hustler is to release "Nailin’ Paylin." What's it about? Well, what do you think it's about. Truth be told, I'd rather guys buy this video than vote for that imbecilic freak.
...Jerry T. is set to direct, and porn star Lisa Ann will be taking on the role of Palin—er, “Paylin.” According to HUSTLER, “Nailin’ Paylin” is a “naughty adventure to the wild side of that sexy Alaska governor,” featuring “girl-on-girl lovin’,” “nailing the Russians, who come knocking on her back-door,” and a younger Palin getting seduced by her creationist college professor who “will explain a ‘big bang’ theory even she can’t deny!” Also included: a three-way hardcore sex scene starring porn stars as Palin/Paylin, Hillary Clinton, and Condoleezza Rice. Of course, no political porn satire would be complete without a salute to Fox News—a Bill O’Reilly stand-in will announce the movie’s multiple sex scandals as they unfold.
PALIN: Who is it?
GRUFF MALE VOICE: It's JOE, the tanning-bed repairman.
(PALIN unlocks the door and opens it)
PALIN: Hiya! You were supposed to be here two hours ago, doncha know?
JOE: I'm sorry. My snowmobile broke down outside of Matunska. I had to walk the rest of the way.
PALIN: Well, you're in luck. I just baked a batch of chocolate-chip cookies. Why don't you come inside and I'll fix you a plate of 'em?
(JOE obliges. He takes a seat on the couch. PALIN enters the kitchen and returns shortly after with the cookies. She gives them to JOE, but not before looking him up and down.)
JOE: I have a big hammer.
PALIN: Oh, I betcha do. I love a big hammer. But I love screwdrivers, too! And wrenches. The fact is I love and respect all of America's diverse tools, big and small. They're what helps make us so great as a nation. Here, let me take that off for ya.
(PALIN takes a seat on the coach beside JOE and starts to undo his belt. He stops her.)
JOE: Let's go take a look at the tanning bed first.
PALIN: Oooh, okay.
(PALIN leads JOE to the tanning salon in the basement. JOE carefully inspects the machine.)
JOE: Looks like there are just a bunch of screws loose.
PALIN: (seductively) You're in luck. I fully support off-shore and on-shore drilling.
(PALIN pounces on JOE and throws him onto the top of the tanning bed. She quickly rips off his jeans.)
PALIN: God almighty! You are hung like a moose. Now I have to eat ya!
JOE: I'm bigger than a moose. Do you have any contraceptives?
PALIN: It's okay. I already took a morning-after pill.
JOE: Um, are you sure it works that way?
PALIN: Are you asking me if I know what a morning-after pill is? Because I totally do! I'll get back to ya with specifics.
(The two proceed to make furious love in a multitude of positions. PALIN amply demonstrates that she has enough experience.)
PALIN: Fuck me harder! HARDER! Pound me until my head is so empty that I can't even remember the name of the one Supreme Court case I actually know! I want it to burn. Burn like a banned book. Oh God, Oh God, OH MY GOD! MAKE ME SEE RUSSIA FROM HERE!
With all this talk about the Pro-American and Real American regions in our country why is it always Republican supporters who commit acts of violence and vandalism, and say the most awful things? Funny that. I guess that's just the way 'real Americans' express their patriotism.
Here are a few heart warming tales from the front...
1- Voting machines malfunctioning. Who woulda guessed? Explanation... the machines have problems with humidity. Good thing they're in a state like Florida, huh?
2- Obama sign replaced with a Confederate flag. Stay classy, Chester, Virginia!
3- Chicago Tribune endorses first Democrat for President. Ever.
4- Sarah Palin unable to correctly answer a third grader's question: What does the Vice President do? Apparently no one's told her yet.
5- RNC spends $150K on Palin's campaign wardrobe. Now there's someone who understands the plight of people struggling on a middle class income!
6- Guy in Ohio lynches Obama in effigy. Stay classy, Mike Lundsford!
7- Al Jazeera interviews Palin supporters. You don't see this on CNN.
8- So, who attends a Sarah Palin rally? Watch the video to witness how real Americans act. Don't you just love the guy who thinks Obama is a monkey? I think I just threw up in my mouth.
9- Finally, just who are the 15% of Americans who think the country is on the right track.

Like why she thought it was okay to charge rape victims for their own rape kits? Or maybe, how we should evaluate "Alaska's CEO" (her quote) after leaving her former hometown $20 million in debt after serving as mayor (it had a $5 million surplus when she took office)? Or whether she thinks dinosaurs and man roamed the Earth together six thousand years ago?
The California Democratic Party came up with a brilliant way to ask Sarah Palin all those questions her faithful might forget to ask at a rally in LA on Saturday. They rented a giant electronic billboard and placed it across the street from the election stop, posting questions for Wasilla's most famous citizen.
