- I hope this is a change in the stupid ways some of our judges have interpreted the "fair use" copyright laws. It's about time.
- Does anyone remember Max Headroom? This is pretty amazing. Play the video and remember - she isn't real.
- If you are a Christian does this ad bother you at all? There are a whole group of Christians up in arms about it. What do you think?
- Some college presidents think we should lower the drinking age.
- I feel old when reading "the mindset for the class of 2012"
- I'll end with this because it's long. I love Stephen Colbert he makes me laugh. On his site they have a “Religionizer,” which chooses a random religion and outputs a related joke. The jokes themselves are hidden by code but someone hacked in and got them all. So, for your entertainment, here are some that made me laugh:
Christianity:
Sweet! More Bible!
Warning: Stigmata not covered by HMO.
Pro: Salvation. Con: N/A
Jesus died for your sins, so you kind of owe him.
Admit it: it feels good to be right.
Walking on the beach just got a whole lot easier.
Judaism:
Hear, O Israel: Accept Jesus as your personal savior.
Mazel Tov! Your prize: the media.
Now you’ll never be friends with Mel Gibson.
Suit yourself. More prosciutto for the rest of us.
Hey, it was good enough for Jesus.
Atheism:
Fine. More God for the rest of us.
Good luck carrying yourself on the beach.
Heads up: without Jesus, you’re no one’s little sunbeam.
Guess you’ll have to win that sports championship by yourself.
Islam:
There goes your career as a political cartoonist.
Now to decide whether you’re Sunni or Shiite. It should only take about 12,000 years.
Now you can hang with Cat Stevens!
You’re no longer on Santa’s list, but trust me, you are on a list.
Hinduism:
Suit yourself. More Steak-ums for the rest of us.
Spoiler alert: Your next life form is a dragonfly.
Buddhism:
You must respect all living things. Even Nick Nolte.
Your deity’s so fat when he sits around the eternal oneness, he sits AROUND the eternal oneness. Snap!
Pro: Reincarnation. Con: Reincarnation as a fern.

I don't know what is more wrong with that advertisement, what Obama said in it or the fact that John McCain paid for that advertisement to be aired.
First i want to say the animation thing is somewhat creepy. In regards to the John McCain ad, I liked John 8 years ago. I wish he would stop listening to his advisors and just be himself. I think this ad is trying to conjure thoughts of the Anti-Christ. Personally i think its sad because i think he is better than that. Like last night he was on Leno, Jay asked "For $1 million, how many houses do you have?" His response we 'I was a POW'. I think John has lost his integrity because of his advisors. As far as the drinking age, I do think it should be lowered. I served with a guy who joined the Army at 17 (imancipated minor), he served a year in Korea, 1.5 years in Colorado, a year in Iraq, was medically discharged for PTSD and still couldn't buy a beer. But with that being said, i think the only way i would agree with it is if we were to adopt a somewhat European system. One where you are allowed to drink at 16 ( in the presence of adults) but you cant drive until you're 18. I think that would do more to curb alcohol related accidents. God bless Stephen Colbert! Im still upset that the democrats wouldn't let him on the ballot in South Carolina. And the republicans wanted too much money. I loved the "The Hail To The Cheese Stephen Colbert Nacho Cheese Doritos 2008 Presidential Campaign Coverage"
I wish we we not in the middle of "Mouthwash" and I was not supposed to watching the door to my lips, ripping out my vile tongue etc. OR maybe it a good thing that we are and I am.
Anyway I am a political junkie and I have a whole lot that I would say abut this ad and about the second coming of the...what ever he thinks he is. But alas I will keep my meaner tendencies at bay lest I offend.
All that being said I do appreciate the intended humor behind the "parody". They call politics a "blood sport" and even a jumping up and down ranting and raving, tax hating frothing at the mouth some where to the right of Attila the Hun, conservative like myself, needs to stop taking everything sooo seriously every now and then.
I believe the ad is unfortunately typical of what we can expect to see. It takes comments from Obama out of context and puts them in a light to confuse evangelical voters. It is not about advancing what John McCain is going to support or how Obama is against what McCain supports. The subtle references to the scripture are just for confusion. Yes, it offends me. But with that said I have no doubt that the Obama/Biden campaign are about to offend me as well with similar tactics.
