… I needed a bloody good laugh.
Saturday Night Live does Sarah Palin’s CBS Katie Couric interview:
Isn’t she just precious?
UPDATE: Bugger, it got pulled. Try this instead.
Funny
The Swift-Pucking Has Commenced
Hockey Moms Against Sarah Palin:
Heh, indeed.
While We’re On The Subject of Backward-Facing Bodily Emissions….
..I came across this little nugget, so to speak, at trainee solicitors’ website Roll On Friday:
A man has been charged with battery after deliberately farting at a police officer. Jose Antonio Cruz was stopped for drink driving and taken back to the local police station. When officers tried to get him to take a breath test, Cuz apparently lifted his leg and let out a huge fart. He then wafted the smell towards them. Police say the sheer smell “created a contact of an insulting or provoking nature” and charged him with battery.
I see. Floating arse biscuits can be a weapon, too. I wonder, could one be charged with going equipped for carrying a concealed can of beans?
Morally Right != Musically Talented…
Like many staunch atheists the only thing that might ever make me revert to churchgoing youth is the beauty of sacred music. Nothing imparts a sense of the numinous like Mozart’s Requiem, for instance, whether you’re religious or not. So my fellow atheists are going to have to do a damned sight better than this atheist’s anthem if they want to persuade anyone of their rightness.
Cute, but it’s no Handel’s Messiah:

The Transaxle Of McCain’s Credibility
Some wingnuts are nuttier than others, and Roy Edroso profiles one of the wingnuttiest at Alicublog; meet Bill Whittle, the National Review Columnist, McCain spokesnutjob and futurologist. Edroso:
I frequently tell you folks that our opponents are totally insane, but rarely does one of them leave so egregious a pixel trail of his psychosis. That the National Review would avail such a crackpot for its purposes is of course no surprise at all.
Seriously, go read it. Whittle is, demonstrably, at the very least very eccentric indeed if his planned Randian utopia and verbose paranoid fantasies are any guide.
But doesn’t that make him the perfect McCain spokesperson?
