From Sunday's "Meet the Press" on NBC, the latest Democratic President Primary poll results:


Hillary Clinton 40%
Barack Obama 19%
John Edwards 12%
Joe Biden 2.7%
Stephen Colbert 2.3%
Bill Richardson 2.1%
Dennis Kucinich 2.1%
Mike Gravel <1%
Christopher Dodd 0%

So, Stephen T. Colbert, D.F.A. is ranking higher than a sitting governor, a sitting senator, a former senator, and a sitting congressman.  0 comments links to this post

What was said:

Wendy's guy: "Hi, thank you for choosing Wendy's, can I take your order?"
Me: "Yeah, uh... what kind of sauce comes on the grilled chicken sandwich?"
Wendy's guy: "Honey mustard, lettuce and tomato."
Me: "Ah, ok, I'll take a number five, please..."

Et cetera, et cetera. What I wanted to say:

Wendy's guy: "Hi, thank you for choosing Wendy's, can I take your order?"
Me: "Yeah, uh... what kind of sauce comes on the grilled chicken sandwich?"
Wendy's guy: "Honey mustard, lettuce and tomato."
Me: "Does that lettuce and tomato sauce taste good with the honey mustard?"

But, no, I behaved myself.

I have no words for this. Except awesome.


One of the few good things to come out of G4... was that out loud?

A good bit of gameplay video plus commentary from the upcoming Super Mario Galaxy, which is looking absolutely fantastic.

. . . regarding the internet. Senator Ted Stevens (R-Alaska), you have the floor.

"Ten movies streaming across that, that Internet, and what happens to your own personal Internet? I just the other day got... an Internet was sent by my staff at 10 o'clock in the morning on Friday, I got it yesterday. Why? Because it got tangled up with all these things going on the Internet commercially. [...]

They want to deliver vast amounts of information over the Internet. And again, the Internet is not something that you just dump something on. It's not a big truck. It's a series of tubes. And if you don't understand, those tubes can be filled and if they are filled, when you put your message in, it gets in line and it's going to be delayed by anyone that puts into that tube enormous amounts of material, enormous amounts of material."

Well said, Senator. I shall keep that in mind the next time it takes me 6 days to get an "internet".

Labels: not a truck, series of tubes, Ted Stevens

I know, I know... sounds like the kind of e-mail you get that strays your fingers to the delete key.

But I felt that to make up for my few and far between updates, I'd save you some money. Observe!

There used to be a movie here!
Almost seems too easy, doesn't it? I haven't tried it yet, but am going to have to soon. If you try it, let me know.

EDIT: I removed the movie because it would auto-play every time one visited the site, and I found that insanely annoying. If you want to see the video for the trick (which is, apparently, untrue), let me know, or just Google it. Can't be that tough to find again.

I refer you to this March 2007 post from Fire Joe Morgan, in which a statistical program from Baseball Prospectus projects the Chicago White Sox to go 72-90, and the ensuing ridicule that erupts from the pens of the moronic masses of the Chicago print media.

The White Sox' final record? 72-90, 24 games back in the AL Central.


I guess these computer things actually kinda know what they're doing . . .
