i’m a little under the weather, so today’s post will just be links with a light dash of one-liner commentary. I think I have a cold in the fucking Summer.

I am fucking terrified is a pretty funny parody of We’re not afraid.

I didn’t even know that Austin had an NBADL team. How weird.

Johnny, this should help you get through your grueling days in the cubicle world. Also, since you are my primary [read: only] Latino friend, I have a question for you. Is Mind of Mencia funny? I only catch the last 4 minutes when I am waiting for The Daily Show to air, and is seems like the most stupid fucking show I have ever seen.

Try to imagine for a minute that there was a god (I know, I know) and he is all-knowing etc. And then imagine that this was the way that you sold said god. Who knew the Baptists were so cheeky?

Still loving Google Earth. Have you seen the hybrid view?

Chevron has realized that the “era of easy oil is over” and has opened up discussion for, I don’t know, alternatives I suppose. I didn’t go into their discussion forums but it reminded me of something that Matt Taibbi wrote in his book about Harry Braun. Braun is a scientist who ran for president in 2004 on the platform of converting to Hydrogen as our energy source. And everything he says makes sense. But he is a scientist and not a politician, so he was portrayed in the media as being crazy. Taibbi says it better:

Braun was nuts, but only slightly nuts. [...] As I listened to him, I wondered: why is this person automatically dismissed as a lunatic? What could be more natural than a scientist running for president, taking a case directly to the people for the funding of a massive, revolutionary investment in world-changing science? The campaign is a time for national discussion- why can’t it be about science? Why does that kind of vision have to take a back seat to this dreary, confined dialogue about tax policy and abortion rights?

Gallery of WWII anti-Japanese US propaganda posters. Thank god (when you knee-mail him) the Bushies can’t be this blatant about their war.

From everything that I have heard, which isn’t much, Supreme Court nominee Roberts seems like a decent enough guy. However, I didn’t realize that his wife was a pro-life activist. Earlier when I said that you might want to get an abortion or two now, umm, you may want to stock up.

Oh, I havent forgotten about you, traitor.
