Strange strange day...

About which I don't really want to talk. So I'll post this video which will probably make iridium_wolf do a happy dance or something. Well, as long as he ignores the DRM issues.

God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in her shoes
‘Cuz then you really might know what it’s like to have to choose

... find that people are willing to brush off or justify Sarah Palin's lack of experience, qualifications or, well. smarts because of her novelty factor. But the one thing that stops them dead in their tracks is the story of ( Sarah Palin and the Pay As You Go Rape Kits )

God only knows how Sarah Palin would answer that question and, as we well know, she ain't talkin'

Fortunately the state of Alaska saw fit to remedy the benign neglect that characterized Pailn's attitude towards rape victims. But there is still something that you can do for all women in all fifty states since they can hardly count on Vice President Palin to look out for anything other than her own blind ambition.

Per an email I received last night

Instead of us all sending around more emails about how horrible Sarah Palin is, let's all make a donation to Planned Parenthood.

In Sarah Palin's name.

And here's the good part: when you make a donation to PP in her name, they'll send her a card telling her that the donation has been made in her honor.

Here's the link to the Planned Parenthood website

You'll need to fill in the address to let PP know where to send the "in Sarah Palin's honor" card. I suggest you use the address for the McCain campaign headquarters, which is:

McCain for President
1235 S. Clark Street
1st Floor
Arlington , VA 22202

PS make sure you use that link above or choose the pulldown of Donate--Honorary or Memorial Donations, not the regular "Donate Online"

The minimum donation is $5 ...and did I mention that it's tax deductible?

Go. Do. Now.

...and pass this along to your friends.

Got this one from hjude44

Why is it six questions? Shouldn't it be four?

A) Four places that I go to over and over:  Work, the Great Harvest Bread Company, The Light Rail Stop, My son's daycare

B) Four people who e-mail me (regularly):  Let's see. Mr. Hall, Angela, My Fantasy Football Friends..

C) Four of my favourite places to eat:  At home, Benihana, the Frisco Grille, Old Fashioned Ice Cream

D) Other places I would rather be right now: Bilbao, Spain; Barbados; At home; not at work

E) Four people I think will respond: uh.. uh.. drewshi, melissasue1983, marag, uh.. colorwhirl

F) Four TV shows I watch: Doctor Who, House, Chuck, Torchwood

A disaster in the making

I know you like Jack White, hjude44 and josabry but this collaboration with Alicia Keys for Quantum of Solace is a mess.

A big.. HUGE... mess.

The instrumentals are good, but the vocals are all over the place. I got really enthused by Chris Cornell's theme for Casino Royale. This, though, is a disaster. Hopefully the movie doesn't share the theme's significant flaws.
