Oh well. Whatever. Nevermind.
I'm not sure exactly how one goes about describing a website dedicated to cats that look like Hitler so I won't even try, I'll just point you to it. Thank God for the Internet though, other wise we might never have had the ability to properly round up all the pictures of cats that look like Hitler and then where would we be? Cats that look like Hitler.

OK you guys blew it on the Jessica Biel auction, which was upsetting, but I guess 30 grand is a bit much for most people to spend, especially on someone else. Here's another gift option to keep in mind then: The complete West Wing Box Set. Every episode, all 154 of them, on 45 DVDs . It costs $299.98 and doesn't come out till November 7th (which I believe is election day, which would make sense), so this is probably a Christmas (or Hanukkah I suppose) gift. I can barely contain myself I'm so excited for this to come out. And yes that's sad in many ways but West Wing is all I've got.

Stephen Colbert versus TV morning shows is really no contest, almost like a Albert Pujols playing in the Little League World Series. It makes for some amusing TV though.

Its sad these morning show people can't get the joke but thats what makes it fun to watch Stephen rip them apart. Its almost like shooting fish in a barrel though.

For a long time I was addicted to Snood, the computer game. I played it all the time in high school and it was one of many reasons why I did not do well academically. I was so addicted to Snood that I made a conscious effort not to download Snood on to the laptop I was taking with me to college my freshman year (it should be noted that the absence of Snood did not improve my grades; damn you German!).
Anyway, Jason Kottke points me to a computer game called Motherload that has some of the very same addictive properties that Snood had. Its fairly simple but the time will fly while you play it. I warn you not to play this game at work because you won't get anything done and you could be fired as a result. Here's the link to it . I warn you, once you start you might not be able to stop. Oh, if you do start playing, go to options in the top right and turn the volume down, for some reason its default setting is way too loud.

I'm almost just posting this for posterity's sake; I'd like to go back and reference it when ever the mood strikes me. Rep. Robert Wexler was on the Colbert Report the other night in the "Better Know a District" segement and, well, the resulting television was, to put it mildly, fantastic. Rep. Wexler was interviewed about his appearence here and he seems bemused and good-natured about the whole thing. He's gone up a notch in the eyes of his younger staffers and his kids, so I guess that makes up for being made to look foolish on national tv. Without further ado:

The results are in from that date with Jessica Biel Auction. Some lucky bastard won with a $30,000 bid . If I was really rich (or I should say when I'm really rich) this is exactly the kind of thing I will be spending my money on. It is for a good cause, so its a win-win situation really. Maybe the next time Jessica auctions off a date I'll be ready.

For those of you who hadn't heard yet, cute little Haley Joel Osment (who actually isn't so little anymore) was involved in a car accident the other day and was taken to the hospital. I hope everythings alright and it seems like the guy will be fine but more interesting is the fact that Osment was driving a 1995 Saturn, which apparently is his car . A 1995 Saturn? What, no Bentley or even a BMW? The guy's an actor, he was in The Sixth Sense for God's sake. He's probably raking in the royalities from that, and his other movies, and yet he's riding around in a 11 year old Saturn? What is this world coming to when young actors don't flaunt their wealth with hot rides?

My birthday is still a few months away and Christmas is obviously a ways away but if anyone is thinking of getting me a present, for any reason, please please get me this :
A date with Jessica Biel will be up for bid next week to help raise money for a teenager who lost her leg in a prom night limousine accident, Denver newspapers reported this week.
The event dubbed “Mollypalooza” to help Molly Bloom’s family with medical expenses is scheduled for Tuesday at the Rock Island Club, organizers told The Denver Post and Rocky Mountain News. The News described the date as a lunch date.
I find the name of the charity event quite distasteful but the prize more then makes up for it and I guess its all for a good cause. If anyone has a few thousand bucks to spare and would like to make this boy's dreams come true, now you know what to do. Hook a brother up.
Pete Coors, the CEO of Molson Coors Brewing Company, has lost his driving license because…he was arrested for DUI . I mean seriously Mr. Coors, no more sampling your own product.
“I made a mistake. I should have planned ahead for a ride,” Coors said in a statement. “For years, I’ve advocated the responsible use of our company’s products.”
Company spokeswoman Kabira Hatland said that Coors rolled through a stop sign a block from his home in Golden and that an officer stopped him in his driveway.
In one breath test, he registered a blood alcohol level of 0.073 percent. In a second, 20 minutes later, he registered 0.088. The legal limit in Colorado is 0.05 percent.
Thank God the fine people of Colorado decided against electing this tool to the U.S. Senate.
Via AmericaBlog, we get DCCC head Rep. Rahm Emanuel (D-Ill) commenting on the newly updated White House salary list:
Mr. Speaker, yesterday the President said we continue to be wise about how we spend the people's money.
"Then why are we paying over $100,000 for a 'White House Director of Lessons Learned'? "Maybe I can save the taxpayers $100,000 by running through a few of the lessons this White House should have learned by now.
"Lesson 1: When the Army Chief of Staff and the Secretary of State say you are going to war without enough troops, you're going to war without enough troops.
"Lesson 2: When 8.8 billion dollars of reconstruction funding disappears from Iraq, and 2 billion dollars disappears from Katrina relief, it's time to demand a little accountability.
"Lesson 3: When you've 'turned the corner' in Iraq more times than Danica Patrick at the Indy 500, it means you are going in circles.
"Lesson 4: When the national weather service tells you a category 5 hurricane is heading for New Orleans, a category 5 hurricane is heading to New Orleans.
"I would also ask the President why we're paying for two 'Ethics Advisors' and a 'Director of Fact Checking.'
"They must be the only people in Washington who get more vacation time than the President.
"Maybe the White House could consolidate these positions into a Director of Irony."
Thank you Rep. Emanuel. Democrats need to embrace sarcasim as a very effective tool against Adminstration/Republican stupidity.
