I give her days… just days… It’s starting to look like Palin may have been vetted for only 1 day prior to the announcement, and only after an offer and retraction to Joe Lieberman for VP. This would explain A LOT. Check out the very funny video clip below about vetting…
No explanation required. I swear, you can set anything to Rocky music and it’s all good…
Also check out the original video…
I’ve always been a fan of George Carlin, and at a far younger age than my parents would have ever liked — of course I was also reading Stephen King in 5th grade, and I turned out alright… didn’t I? 🙂
George was all about the social commentary, and turning the mundane on its head. Famous for the “Seven Words you can’t say on Television,” I will always remember his treatise on leftovers.
“Leftovers make you feel good twice. First, when you put it away, you feel thrifty and intelligent: ‘I’m saving food!’ Then a month later when blue hair is growing out of the ham, and you throw it away, you feel really intelligent: ‘I’m saving my life!’”
Below is an abbreviated version of the piece from George Carlin at Carnegie Hall. Watch the clip below at the 12:40 mark. Feel free to watch the whole thing as it’s vintage George, just not quite safe for work.
Goodbye George, your candor and wit will be missed in times such as these.
Truth be told, I’ve never been a bumper sticker kind of guy. Sure I’ve laughed and poked fun at bumper stickers on other cars (and in the SF Bay area there’s a plenty), but I’ve never adorned my own vehicle with one.
Recently while browsing the web I stumbled across an interesting image with the slogan “McCain – 100% Recycled Bush”. I laughed and thought to myself, “that would make a great bumper sticker” and then promptly forgot about it. Until yesterday. After Barack Obama secured the nomination I considered buying an Obama Support Pack, a collection of goodies that included, among other things, bumper stickers. And then I remembered the image and catchy slogan.
Long story short I recreated the image in bumper-friendly format and posted it on CafePress in my new online store. I of course will be buying one for myself. And I’ll also be donating half of any proceeds from the sale to the Barack Obama campaign.
Comments and purchases of course, are welcome.
