McCain Vows To Replace Secret Service With His Own Bare Fists

xkcd

I have recently discovered the webcomic, xkcd. I would post my favorite of its comics here, but it would be redundant of me to copy the entire site. So, I will just post a link (http://xkcd.com/) and suggest that everyone go read all of them.

I still find it amazing how each of us can have completely separate and unique lives but still share so many of the same experiences.

Have fun!

Colbert Report Irony

I am a regular viewer of The Daily Show and The Colbert Report.

Both shows typically have consistent advocacies. However, today's Colbert Report sent mixed signals. First, Colbert had a segment essentially attacking McDonalds for paying a number of public schools to include free Happy Meal coupons with good report cards.

Story Here


Fair enough. I don't think that public schools should contribute to childhood obesity. I suspect medium quality schools in a privatized system would be unlikely to do this sort of thing for fear of losing students.

Next,Colbert interviewed Leonard Nimoy, who was promoting The Full Body Project, a book of photographs of nude overweight women. Nimoy attacks society's conception of beauty as being thin and healthy. The message was that all people are beautiful.

Not for the faint at heart

So, I'm confused. Should we encourage people to be healthy or obese? It seems that Nimoy is encouraging obesity far more than McDonalds. McDonalds sells a product, which some consumers choose to overuse. Nimoy, on the other hand, is directly glorifying obesity.

CNN Spoof

"CNN is widely credited with initiating the acceleration of the modern news cycle with the fall 2006 debut of its spin-off channel CNN:24, which provides a breaking news story, an update on that story, and a news recap all within 24 seconds. In addition to creating its groundbreaking format, CNN:24 broke many important stories with reports such as 'Ford No Money Everyone Fired,' 'Iraq Bomb Kill Truck,' 'Country Hates Bush,' 'Dow High Now,' and 'Squirrel Water Skis.'" - The Onion

One thing kids like is to be tricked. For instance, I was going to take my little nephew to Disneyland, but instead I drove him to an old burned-out warehouse. "Oh, no," I said. "Disneyland burned down." He cried and cried, but I think that deep down, he thought it was a pretty good joke. I started to drive over to the real Disneyland, but it was getting pretty late. - Jack Handy

When the Leaves Blow

I usually don't advertise products, but this will be a rare exception. Steven Wright just came out with a new DVD special, "When the Leaves Blow." Of course, you can watch the special for free on Comedy Central, but if you don't have cable, I strongly recommend buying the DVD. It's going for $10.99 on Amazon.com. I rank Steven Wright as the second funniest person I've ever heard (second to George Carlin).
