One news station in Australia received a lesson in the perils of using a live camera backdrop for your anchor’s report when a sea gull, seemingly giant but really just close to the camera, loomed right behind the anchor and then strolled across the scene. To his credit the anchor calmly continued his report about organized crime. (via huff post)
don't blame him
what about children of the 90s like me, who are patiently waiting for 2012, on a cliff, with a bottle of Ruinart or two?(via saraannejones)
A young Dick Cheney. Whoa.
“ Steeped as we are in decades of postmodern self-referential artifice, we don’t just want to look like backwoodsmen; we want to look like actors from the 1950s playing backwoodsmen of the 1890s, but in a totally fresh, laid-back 2009 kind of way.

New Rule: You Can't Complain About Health Care Reform If You're Not Willing to Reform Your Own Health
Unlike most liberals, I’m glad all those teabaggers marched on Washington last week. Because judging from the photos, it’s the first exercise they’ve gotten in years.
These people are furious at the high cost of health care, so they blame illegals, who don’t even get health care. News flash, Glenn Beck fans: the reason health care is so expensive is because you’re all so unhealthy.
Yes, it was fun this week to watch the teabaggers complain how the media underestimated the size of their march, “How can you say there were only 60,000 of us? We filled the entire mall!” Yes, because you’re fat. One whale fills the tank at Sea World, that doesn’t make it a crowd.
And since Americans can only be prodded into doing something with money, we need to tax crappy foods that make us sick like we do with cigarettes, and alcohol — and alcohol actually serves a useful function in society in that it enables unattractive people to get laid, which is more than you can say for Skittles.
President Arugula is not gonna tell Americans they’re fat and lazy. No sin tax on food on Obama’s watch. And at a time when it’s important to set new standards for personal responsibility, he appointed a surgeon general, who is, I’m sorry, kind of fat. Certainly too heavy to be a surgeon general, it’s a role model thing. It would be like appointing a Secretary of the Treasury who didn’t pay his taxes. He did?
And get this: Surgeon General Benjamin had previously been a nutritional advisor to Burger King. The only advice a “health expert” should give Burger King is to stop selling food. The “nutritional advisor” job was described as, “promoting balanced diets and active lifestyle choices” — and who better to do that than the folks who hand you meat and corn syrup through a car window? When you have a surgeon general who comes from Burger King, it’s a message to lobbyists, and that message is, “Have it your way.”
Here’s a man with a serious cause: Getting the president involved in putting “Arrested Development” back on the air. It’s the most important issue of our time. (Via Joey Devilla; huffpost)
