Bird Brained

About a dozen people have sent me this video today, and I can certainly understand why. It's like a Dali painting -- it really, really is. Just sit back and let the surrealism wash over you like warm bath.

If you need a setup, here it is: What you're about to see is a dumb animal being slaughtered on national television.

And some turkeys dying.

Ask and Ye Shall Receive

Well, I begged somebody to please shut Sarah Palin up and guess who heeded my call?

Republican Governor Rick Perry of Texas.

He stepped in and shut down Palin's very first live press conference -- which is being described as an embarrassing, though not entirely unsurprising, mess -- after just three-and-a-half minutes.

And the hits just keep on coming.

Last Gasp

Now that we're about 24 hours away from the first polls closing on Election Day, I can finally say it:

Will somebody please shut this stupid bitch up?

Please, America.

The Dallas Morning News: Sarah Palin Prank Called, Tells Fake French President Sarkozy, "We Should Go Hunting Together."/11.1.08

"(Marc-Antoine) Audette, posing as Sarkozy, speaks in an exaggerated French accent and drops ample hints that the conversation is a joke. But Palin seemingly does not pick up on them. He tells Palin one of his favorite pastimes is hunting, also a passion of the 44-year-old Alaska governor.

"I just love killing those animals. Mmm, mmm, take away life, that is so fun," the fake Sarkozy says.

He proposes they go hunting together by helicopter, something he says he has never done.

"Well, I think we could have a lot of fun together while we're getting work done," Palin counters. "We can kill two birds with one stone that way."
