9-11 Pentagon Image
I found this somewhere on the internet, most likely from a fark discussion. The image above pretty firmly proves that it wasn’t anything small that hit the pentagon, and it certainly wasn’t a missile. The image is huge, so if you click on it, be aware it’s almost 1 meg.
Washing Instructions
This is a clothing label from a small American compnay that sells their product in France. Here’s the translation fo the French part of the label:

Use mild soap
Dry flat
Do not use bleach
Do not dry in the dryer.
Do not iron.
We are sorry that are president is an idiot.
We did not vote for him.

Another CCG card from Fark, this one for WMD:
WMD’s acannot be summoned, as they do not exist. Lands tapped to summon WMD’s is destroyed. Summoner loses credibility with most of the world, but remember’s Poland.

V For Vendetta Move Review
Tags:Movies, Politics, V For Vendetta
By far, the best movie I’ve seen this year. In fact, better then anything I saw last year too, including the Batman flick. It brings important questions to the forefront of conversation. Can violence be an answer to serious problems? I heard rumor that Moore asked to have his name removed from the V For Vendetta book, and off the movie as well, and it looks like DC actually listened to him. I’m worried that this movie will just inspire more sheepish behavior, and not what the original intent was: think for yourself, and listen to no one when they tell you they know best.

Volkswagen Ted Kennedy Advertisement
Tags:Advertisements, Humor, Politics
I mentioned this once or twice before, and was amused to find the actualy advertisement that wikipedia mentioned. Here’s the text from the scanned in page:
If Ted Kennedy drove a Volkswagen, he’d be President today.
It floats.
The way our boy is built, we’d be surprised if it didn’t.
The sheet of flat steel that goes udnerneath every Volkswagen keeps out water, as well as dirt and salt and other nasty things that can eat away at the underside of a car. So it’s watertight at the bottom.
And everybody knows it’s easier to shut the door on a Volkswagen after you’ve rolled won the window a little. That proves it’s practically airtight on top.
If it was a boat, we could call it the Water Bug.
It’s not a boat, it’s a car.
And, like mary Jo kapechne, It’s only 99 and 44/100 percent pure.
So it won’t stay afloat forever. Just long enough.
Poor Teddy.
If he’d been smart enough to buy a Volkswagen, he never would have gotten into hot water.

The Sky Is Falling, also known as Chicken Little, Chicken Licken or Henny Penny is an old, classical fable of unknown origin about a chicken who believes the sky is falling. The phrase has also become used to indicate a hysterical or mistaken belief that disaster is imminent.
Glass Parking Lot
My Lord Spaketh so:
Glass parking lot is a turn of phrase used to express the idea that an eventual nuclear war will essentially turn the world into a bed of glass. The term is also used to refer to an area of sand after a nuclear bomb is detonated over it. The expression rose out of nuclear tests in New Mexico during the Manhattan Project. The heat from the bombs turned the area into a plate of glass.

This sticker is of course refering to the fact that if you go hunting with Dick Cheney, you’ll end up with bird shot in your face and heart, and have an extended stay at a hospital. Compare that with if you go driving with Ted Kennedy, you’ll end up dead.
Back To Your Freespeach Zone!
Free speech zones (also known as First Amendment Zones or derisively as Free speech cages) are areas set aside in public places for political activists to exercise their right of free speech. Although such zones existed earlier, instituted by the Clinton administration, they gained more attention after the WTO Meeting of 1999 and have been used vigorously by the George W. Bush administration. Civil libertarians claim that they are used as a form of censorship and public relations management to conceal opposition from the public and elected officials. There is much controversy surrounding the creation of these areas the mere existence of such zones is offensive to some people, who maintain that the First Amendment to the United States Constitution makes the entire country an unrestricted free speech zone.
Personally, I’m one of those that are offended by the mere thought of these places being in existance. In effect they’re methods of saying “Yeah we care about free speech, just do it over there in the corner where we can’t hear you, the TV crew can’t see you, and you won’t be able to change anything.”
Cthulhu Fthagn! IA!
This is of course referring to the “Dean Scream” :
Dean attended a post-caucus rally for his volunteers in Iowa to deliver his concession speech, aimed at cheering up those in attendance. Forced to shout over the cheers of his enthusiastic audience, Dean didn’t realize the crowd noise was being filtered out by his unidirectional microphone, leaving only his full-throated exhortations audible to the television viewers. To those at home, it sounded as if he was raising his voice out of sheer emotion. Recordings from within the crowd made it clear that Dean was shouting in order to be heard over the cheers of the crowd but it also showed him to be be highly emotive.
Many in the television audience criticized the speech as loud, peculiar, and unpresidential. [19] In particular, this quote from the speech was aired repeatedly in the days following the caucus:
“Not only are we going to New Hampshire, Tom Harkin, we’re going to South Carolina and Oklahoma and Arizona and North Dakota and New Mexico, and we’re going to California and Texas and New York And we’re going to South Dakota and Oregon and Washington and Michigan. And then we’re going to Washington, D.C., to take back the White House! Yeah!!!”
This final “yeeeaaaahhh” has become known in American political folklore as either “the Dean Scream” or the “I Have a Scream” speech (satirical of I Have a Dream). Interestingly, while most listeners of the speech considered the scream some version of “yeah!,” many in the print media, such as Time Magazine transcribed it as “yearrgh!” or some variation thereof, giving readers a much different impression of his tone than those who saw the video.
Don’t Drive With Ted Kennedy
DANGER:
Do not accept ride from Ted Kennedy.
Why not? From the wikipedia article:
On July 18, 1969, after a party on Chappaquiddick Island near the island of Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, Kennedy, allegedly intoxicated, a claim which he denies, drove away with Mary Jo Kopechne as a passenger in his 1967 Oldsmobile Delmont 88. According to Kennedy, he made a wrong turn onto an unlit road that led to Dike Bridge (also spelled Dyke Bridge), a wooden bridge that was angled obliquely to the road, and drove over its side, which had no guardrail. The car plunged into tide-swept Poucha Pond (at that location a channel) and landed upside down under the water. Kopechne died, but as no autopsy was performed, precise cause of death is unknown. Kennedy claims he tried several times to swim down to reach her, then rested on the bank for several minutes before returning on foot to the Lawrence Cottage, where the party attended by Kopechne and other “boiler room girls” had occurred.
Joseph Gargan (Kennedy’s cousin) and party co-host Paul Markham then returned to the pond with Kennedy to try to rescue Kopechne. Though there was a telephone at the Lawrence Cottage, nobody called for help. When their efforts to rescue Kopechne failed, Kennedy decided to return to his hotel on the mainland. As the ferry had shut down for the night, Kennedy swam the short distance back to Edgartown.
Kennedy discussed the accident with several people, including his lawyer, before he contacted the police.
The next morning (July 19, 1969) the police recovered Kennedy’s car. Kopechne’s body was discovered by diver John Farrar, who observed that a large amount of air was released from the car when it was righted in the water, and that the trunk, when opened, was remarkably dry. These observations and others have led some to believe that Kopechne had not drowned, but suffocated in an air pocket within the car.
The incident quickly blossomed into a scandal. Kennedy was criticized for allegedly driving drunk, for failing to save Kopechne, for failing to summon help immediately and for contacting not the police but rather his lawyer first.
Kennedy entered a plea of guilty to a charge of leaving the scene of an accident after causing injury. He received a sentence of two months in jail, which was suspended. An Edgartown grand jury later reopened the investigation but did not return an indictment.
Kennedy’s critics and political opponents question whether justice was served in this case. The case resulted in much satire directed against Kennedy, including a National Lampoon page showing a floating Volkswagen Beetle with the remark that Kennedy would have been elected President had he been driving a Beetle that night; this satire allegedly resulted in legal action by Volkswagen complaining of unauthorized use of their trademark.

Which is how I feel too! Of course, most ‘legal’ MP3s these days come with some wonderfully craptastic features like DRM (itunes? why would I want something that won’t let me play my music where ever I want to?) Which is why I use www.mp3tunes.com to upload all my stuff, listen to it where ever I want, and not worry about losing 10 grand in music investments. not that I’ve paid for much of my music mind you…commonbits/creative commons is a godsend, yes?
