The Tea Party protesters are really getting out of hand. Here’s footage from 20 March 2010 in Washington D.C.
[Update: Oop. My mistake. Those aren’t Tea Party people.]
Neil Innes was a protester before you were a protester.
Johnny Cash’s snare drum is awesome.
Turn up the treble for this classic from Eddie Cochran.
I’m 16% behind Weird Al on this, and 84% behind him on this one:
Have a great weekend folks.
Yep, that’s where it all started. The original Avenues Crips, flashing lower case A’s. That’s the late Cuzz Tookie Williams on the right.

The headphones say it all. Sometimes we find such a cool idea smothered in a such a thick blanket of lame that we just have to post it. But the question remains: What is it listening to?

Earlier today (19 March 2010), Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi invoked a prayer to St. Joseph for help in passing the Health Care debacle. Not being Catholic, I couldn’t remember who he was the patron saint of besides children’s aspirin, so I decided to check Wikipuddlia.
Here’s the entry for St. Joseph:
Further down, under Sainthood, we find this:
Here’s the pertinent paragraph enlarged.
Now click on that image. It’s on Wikipedia, so it’s got to be true… heh. My initial reaction was that some wag edited the Wiki for fun, BUT WAIT! IT’S TRUE!
From The Washington Times:
Seeking to shore up support for her embattled health bill, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi today announced it was the feast of Saint Joseph the Worker, adding “We pray to Saint Joseph to benefit the workers of America which is what our health bill would do.”
Problem is, March 19 is indeed the feast day of Saint Joseph, foster-father of Jesus. But the actual feast of St. Joseph the Worker (same man, two ways of commemorating him) comes in six weeks. Set for May 1, it was introduced by Pope Pius XII in 1955 to counteract May Day, the high holiday for communist and socialist workers.
So, Wikipedia is right, Nancy blew it twice in one swell foop, and Joe Biden’s disease is contagious.

Think that’s disgusting? Wait until they all get up. Now imagine the sound of sweaty Naugahyde shifting, coupled with the scent of stale beer, talcum powder and flatulence.
What’s worse than that? YOU get to knock on their door at 2AM and tell them to quiet down.

Mr. Zero. He’s Nothing. Really Nothing.
Although he’s Nothing, he wants everyone to pay attention to him, to pay attention to Nothing.
He knows Zip, Nada, and Everything That Isn’t. No one knows him, yet too many people understand him. He says Nothing to everyone.
Mr. Zero is very intelligent, and agrees to Nothing because he can deliver it. He can give you Nothing as well. He can make sure that you have plenty of Nothing, so much so that you can only give it away, even though nobody wants it.
Unfortunately, Mr. Zero demands a lot. He is capable of taking everything and turning it into Nothing, which is exactly what you will get back if you give him anything.
He creates Nothing, and he sells it, too, at a very high price.
The only way to stop Mr. Zero is to give him Nothing.
