Patrick Wolf Is A Little Boy Throwing A Hissy Fit
Two notes on this video:
1) Who would want to see this man live anyways? He is not David effin Bowie.
2) Is he actually a man? Or is this just like an elaborate hoax?

Bob Dylan Mistaken For Crazy Homeless Person
Really just a crazy person.
"OK Bob, why don't you get in the car and we'll drive to the hotel and go verify this?' " she said she told him. "I put him in the back of the car. To be honest with you, I didn't really believe this was Bob Dylan. It never crossed my mind that this could really be him."
Buble made small talk on the ride to the hotel, asking her detainee where he was playing, she said, but never really believing a word he said.
"I got out of my car and said, "Sarg, this guy says he's Bob Dylan,'" Buble said. "He opened the car door, looked in, and said, 'That's not Bob Dylan.'"

The Onion - Mark Warner Homeless?
Citing a marked decline in his appearance and personal hygiene, as well as growing piles of personal items under and around his desk, members of Congress have begun to voice concerns that Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) may be homeless.
Worries first arose after Sen. Warner was seen picking up old cigarettes around Capitol Hill during a congressional recess.
"At first, I thought he was just burning the candle at both ends," said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV), who noted that the unshaven Warner is always the first to arrive in the morning and the last to leave the Capitol at night. "But then on Sunday, I dropped by to pick up a few things and found Mark asleep under a blanket of Washington Posts on the Senate floor."

Dutch Prefer Porcelain Lover To A Real One
Sex might be fun, but the Dutch don't find it as fun as a pleasant trip to the bathroom, if survey results reported Thursday by the ANP news agency are to be believed. According to the poll of 1,000 adults, 88 per cent listed a visit to the bathroom as something "they enjoy the most," making it the most popular activity chosen, reported ANP. Only 21 per cent did the same for sex.
ANP described the survey as "representative." It was conducted by the Intomart GfK institute for the popular scientific magazine Quest.
Another reason to be proud to be an American.

Colbert Interviews Chellie Pingree
Absolutely hilarious (though sometimes I don't think she gets it's a joke)...
Highlights:
"Are you in the part of Maine within Canada?"
"Isn't gay marriage just the gateway to lobster marriage"
"Men don't choose to marry lobster"
"That's a bold statement for someone from the lobster capital"

"Progressive" Economics Described Perfectly
1. Profits are a cost. Therefore, when the government runs a business, the absence of profit motive reduces everyone's costs. If all businesses made zero profits, then costs would be correspondingly lower and running the economy would be cheaper - and fairer.
2. Progessives are not against markets, which are known to create social benefits...except in cases when it's obvious that government is the fairer alternative.
3. Fiscal, and especially tax, policies should be decided solely on the basis of fairness.
4. Employers decide how much their employees cost them to employ; businesses could simply give employees more wages if they wanted to. But businesses don't want to because they're greedy. Government ought to force employers to bargain in good faith. Fork over that wasted income to those who deserve it, or else. That would be fair.
5. It's BS to think that taxes involve incentives. It's well known that people don't modify their efforts in response to taxes. Maybe this is because taxes aren't a cost. Or maybe it's because taxes are an exception to the principle that costs create incentives. Or maybe because people just don't think of taxes as a cost. Just thinking about this gives a progressive a headache, so let's change the subject. What's your stance on requiring food labels in restaurants?
6. Taxes on capital don't discourage capital formation as long as they're teensy-weensy taxes on lots and lots of transactions. It's a joke not to think this.
7. Wealthy people who don't want to pay more for government programs are greedy and selfish. All people should want to pay their fair share to support their government, especially when other people have to be more fair than me. And ordinary people who argue against higher taxes based on principles of efficiency or welfare optimization are the dupes of greedy corporate interests. But enough of this. What's your stance on fighting for bike paths?
8. "Greedy corporate" is one word. Sometimes the "greedy" is silent.
9. In every transaction between two parties, one party is an oppressor and the other a victim. If in doubt about which one is which, the oppressor is always the one with more money.

"Funky Cold Medina" and "Wild Thing" Are The Same Song
It's always fun to discover something like this (even if we all kind of already could have figured it out.)

Spector Struggles To Defend Support of McCain-Palin in '08
It's rare you'll find this blog thanking Chris Matthews, but this video is worth it. Watch as Mr. Matthews ties tool-of-the-year Arlen Spector (D/R/?-PA) in knots over his presidential vote in 2008.
Though, I would like to take umbrage with Chris making a big deal out of Sarah Palin, who was #2 on the ticket, and how Arlen voted for her over his "good friend Joe Biden." The fact is, unless you are completely torn, you don't vote for vice-president. Ever.

Brothel Holds Out Hand To "Good Men Who Have Gotten Themselves Into Trouble"
The BunnyRanch will begin mailing free "good time party passes" to all of our United States, Senators, House of Representatives and Governors on August 3, 2009.
This is in an effort to help men such as: David Vitter(1), John Ensign(2), Eliot Spitzer(3), Mark Foley(4), Robert Livingston(5), Jim Gibbons(6), Mark Sanford(7), and Larry Craig(8) who could have easily avoided their troubles by visiting the BunnyRanch.
[Owner] Dennis [Hof] says, "these men are good men who have gotten themselves into trouble and could have avoided all of this exploitation by visiting the BunnyRanch."
Dennis encourages all of our government officials to salvage their careers, public reputation and families by partying discretely and legally at the Moonlite BunnyRanch.

What Norm Coleman Looked Like In High School
As a former (and possibly again) long-haired man, I'm disappointed that my first reaction to this picture was: maybe Senator Franken isn't so ridiculous.
