Commercial Break: Boom! Thirty Minutes Of My Life, Wasted

It's come to my attention that a fair amount of you come to my blog to waste time at your daily jobs. Hey, it's okay. I do it too. However, did you know you could be wasting even more time? That's right. My pal [though he doesn't know it yet] Micheal Badger has been doing these News Views videos for quite some time now.
He swears it's not a joke and all intentionally shot in a retro-manner. It's supposed to harken back to a time where the news was just that, the news. No spin, no fluff.
I don't remember it being so, well, you know. But hey, you wanted to waste a moment of your life right?
Enjoy!








Bad News: The ACTA Treaty Hates You

We can't take our government anywhere 'nowadays'. About a week ago, in Seoul Korea, the U.S. Government decided to sign an ACTA [Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement]treaty with several powerful nations [South Korea and Canada notably]. This treaty encapsulated a fair amount of free-trade of intellectual agreements and most importantly, an Internet Chapter. Fellow nerds, we've done it. We have the government making chapters and policy outlines specifically to protect our best interest, via the internet. Unfortunately, there appears to be a reason why this treaty was signed in a great deal of secrecy. Below are the issues at hand.
It's Not That I Don't Believe You, It's Just That You're Crazy

Queen Orly Taitz is not crazy. She's gone sane in a crazy world. I actually had no idea about the 'Birther Movement' until today. I mean...i knew there were people out there that didn't believe Obama was a born here or there, but to put a face on the movement. All I can say is...thank you Orly Taitz...thank you.
Ohio Has Seen Better Days.

A couple weeks back we here in Columbus, OH found out that apparently we are one step closer to eating our belts. It is no secret that Ohio is pretty damn broke. We've been facing a $7+ billion dollar debt for quite some time and with a Mayor that has been introducing some questionable projects in the future, it seems to make things in this city appear to be a bit more bleaker than what we have already had to deal with.
Site Of The Day: Bad Paintings Of Barack Obama

Never has one site encapsulated the eventual backlash of the 'Barack-fanboy'. This site will make you realize that, you may be a fan of our current president...you are clearly not of the fan caliber that would have you paint something on a wooden plank and try and sell it on Ebay.
Barack Obama - All The Single Ladies [Spoof]

Why does this look weird? I think its moments like these I realize I'm living in the future. I couldn't imagine something like this when I was like 8 or 9.
The WWE's Kane teaches us about economics

Really...his hight is 6'12"?!
Things you may not have known about Glenn "Kane" Jacobs. Very much an intellectual when he's not chokeslaming his way to a pro wrestling champion ship. For instance did you know he recently had an economic bone to pick with UC Berkley's Robert Reich?
After the jump...something you probably wouldn't have expected from the guy...
Obama Is President: So What Happen's Next?

I Think He Realizes How Awesome His Jacket Is
With about 20 minutes of reflection today [it's been a busy week] I guess it wouldn't be TO out of character to make a little brog about the recent happenings in Ohio and to a larger extent, America.
Dribble After the Break...
Palin/Obama playable characters in Mercs 2

Well...I'm not exactly sure if this will bet us kids in the States to vote or not, but if anything else...this is weird and cool enough for people to download and give these to classy dressed characters a couple plays. Right?
