I’ve seen Shep around L.A. a couple times but never said hi.
What do you say to someone that good?
He knows he’s good, his presidential portrait is hanging in the Smithsonian.
It’s like he took everything that Warhol ever said about Art but could never actually do and fucking did it.

By now, everyone has learned that Barack Obama studied under Mr. Miyagi and that he brutally murdered Dr. Andre Delambre (no comment as of yet from Vincent Price’s corpse). God damn, what they say about Chicago politicians being brutal ain’t no lie. Considering the fact that Colbert has been having a nightly segment dedicated to parodying the incident entitled “Murder in the White House” (Jeff Goldblum was on the other night to vomit and then suck up his 2 cents) there’s not much more I can add comedy wise to the situation. However, the best thing about Ninjabama’s actions was PETA getting up in arms about it.
I’m a firm believer that Twitter is the dumbest shit ever. I find its very existence to be patently absurd. I’m not one of the 10% of 12 year old girls and my “going on 30″ friends who feel the need to be a Twitter hipster, but hey, that’s just me. I’m an anti-social bastard who hates people and would like the ability to say that in more than “140 characters”. But, whatever makes them feel good about themselves, I guess.
Whether or not Twitter is relevant isn’t really the issue. Recently, Republican Senator Chuck Grassley posted this on his twitter page:
“Pres Obama you got nerve while u sightseeing in Paris to tell us”time to deliver” on health care. We still on skedul/even workinWKEND.”
and then this:
“Pres Obama while u sightseeing in Paris u said ‘time to delivr on healthcare’ When you are a “hammer” u think evrything is NAIL I’m no NAIL”
Way back when, as Barack and Hillary battled to the teeth for the Democratic nomination, I argued that the election of Barack Obama would, at the very least, have some positive impact on our relations with the Muslim world. At the time, I even argued that it might have more profound consequences that we may never fully appreciate (namely, preventing potential future terrorists by changing the fundamental perspectives young Muslims have towards America). It’s way too early to tell if any of Obama’s hope and change will stick with the Muslim world but I think it is pretty clear that Obama is changing the Middle East in strange ways. Take the picture above, for example. When was the last time you saw Muslims selling images of an American president comparing him to King Tut? On the eve of Obama’s major speech to the Arab world from Cairo, vendors are celebrating our president as the second coming of one of the most beloved Pharaohs of Ancient Egypt. Maybe that happened with Bush and we just never saw it? Regardless, the contrast between a Pharaoh and getting shoes thrown at you is pretty stark.
In response to Charlie Rose mentioning that Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor was intelligent, Karl Rove responded “I know lots of stupid people who went to ivy league schools.” Don’t you hate those Freudian slips?
Obama rides a unicorn…INTO THE FUTURE! Created by Chris Bishop and for sale $19. Very much in the style of Shag.
Today we vote… for THAT ONE!
Congratulations, Mr. President.
Nate Silver is a statistician who regularly runs numbers (not for the mob) in Major League Baseball to predict who will win games/the pennant/the world series. He has applied the same knack for knumbers (tehe) to the Presidential Race on his website FiveThirtyEight.com and thankfully. Brother Obama is gonna kick the shit out of McCancer with a pretty hawt margin. As of today he’s predicting 347.6 electoral votes for Obama (granola eating, flag burning, freedom hating blue states) to McCancer’s 190.4 in all of those shitty backward-ass states where people go to snakecharmer shaker churches and marry kin. He figures a 90.7% probablility of this glorious outcome.
Interestingly enough, because our home state of Nebraska has a state government that does shit it’s own way (Unicameral Motherfucker!), we’ve broken up our electoral votes so that theoretically the whole state’s electoral votes don’t have to just go to ONE candidate. There is a high probability that he won’t win, but Barack Obama is within 6 – 10% of McDouche in the Omaha and Lincoln based districts (the only inhabitable parts of the state). The remaining Western Nebraska district on the other hand is a cesspool of uneducated bible thumpers. Proving again that the republican candidate is very popular in places where nothing happens but sheep rape.
But you still have to vote! We haven’t officially won this thing yet, peoples! So vote the shit out of that shit on November 4th, yo!
America: “Yes We Can”
I just wanted to take this opportunity to get overzealously political and endorse the shit out of Barack Obama…
Native son of Chicago, Comedian Bernie Mac died this morning from Pneumonia after dealing with a nasty bout of Sarcoidosis (scary shit). (Chicago Tribune Announcement) He was only 50. Besides how young he was it’s sad that the last news items on the Mac before he died were over some offhand Obama comments which were mostly just taken too seriously. It’s Humor, People. I know we have to save the country and all but remember that Comedians are here to make our lives better (except for maybe Andy Dick). J/K.
