Look out, Michelle!  Get ready for ROBOBAMA!
As best stated by Gizmodo (Sorry, AWL):

WTF IS IT WITH DISNEY GIRLS ANYWAY?

November 10th, 2008 · 1 Comment · Celebrity

I’d never heard of Adrienne Bailon or the “Cheetah Girls” before this morning, but this chick is the latest Disney star to have nude photos “stolen” from her computer and disseminated across the internets.

October 20th, 2008 · No Comments · Uncategorized

More evidence that the McCain-Palin message is breaking through in the pockets of what Sarah Palin likes to call “real America.” McCain’s campaign manager thinks the Obama = terrorist smears are “fun.”

Not so much “fun” however: 30 Obama supporters had their tires slashed in North Carolina during a rally on Sunday… because if nothing [...]

October 16th, 2008 · 3 Comments · Uncategorized

Morning blurbs are tardy since I got a late start on the day…

Joe the Plumber, a registered Republican, made the morning show rounds today where he basically recited, verbatim, the McCain campaign talking points against Obama. The McCain camp denies having commicated with Joe or giving him any media coaching (hm…) but regardless, it [...]

RANKINGS AND RE-UPS: MY FAVORITE TV SHOWS

October 8th, 2008 · No Comments · Uncategorized

It’s a good day in shadow campaigner land, and not only because Obama mopped the floor with John McCain last night — Entourage was renewed for a 6th season after only five episodes so far this year. S5 has been awesomely hilarious I think. I nearly cried when the boys were in the desert last [...]

“The X-Files: I Want to Believe,” is scheduled for release on July 25

WEEK IN REVIEW

June 6th, 2008 · No Comments · Uncategorized

So, this has been my first couple days doing the “blog” thing. My first blog post, ever, came on Wednesday. It was long and no body read it (not even my pimp, larkny, who begged asked me to start posting on MD) but I had a really enjoyable time writing it. And I guess that’s [...]
