The Onion: “Trekkies Bash New Star Trek Film”

Smug Baldy — Thu, 07 May 2009 01:10:41 +0000

This is pretty funny, here the Onion takes a shot at a long history of preachy, boring Star Trek films.

Presidential Debate Déjà Vu

Smug Baldy — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 17:53:48 +0000

Some people – myself included – suspected that the presidential debates weren’t debates as much as they were shared stump speeches. Based on the evidence in this video, we find this suspicion is well founded.

Thanks to Matt for the heads up!

Nobody Said McCain Was Too Old, But …

This made us chuckle.

We’re glad that John’s handling the economic crisis with the intensity of a psychopathic astronaut.

I saw this over at SEB, where the title was simply: It’s funny because it’s sooo true:

Bush Tours America To Survey Damage Caused By His Disastrous Presidency

Best Spelling Bee Moment Ever

Smug Baldy — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 16:38:27 +0000

This is arguably the best moment ever in recorded spelling bee history. Here, the contestant doesn’t quite hear the word he’s supposed to spell, and he’s relieved to be wrong.

Keith Olbermann Special Comment: Obama’s FISA Opportunity

Smug Baldy — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 20:15:04 +0000

One of the things I find interesting bout the FISA bill is that it doesn’t provide the telecoms that colluded with Bush administration officials with immunity from criminal charges.

Keith Olbermann Special Comment: McCain’s Madness in Iraq

Smug Baldy — Sun, 15 Jun 2008 15:18:25 +0000

On Thursday, MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann blasted John McCain’s remark that it doesn’t matter when we bring troops home from Iraq. As always, Keith is a sober and articulate foil for the pro-war insanity coming from this Administration, and it’s heir apparent, Senator John McCain.

SNL Short: Jonah Hill’s Dating Andy’s Dad

Smug Baldy — Thu, 20 Mar 2008 16:57:41 +0000

This digital short is an instant classic. Last week’s SNL host, Jonah Hill of Superbad and Knocked Up fame, has something to tell Andy Samberg. Is it me, or is Saturday Night Live on a comedy upswing? HT to Matt for this one.

When All Else Fails, Threaten To Punch The Atheist

Smug Baldy — Fri, 29 Feb 2008 19:35:54 +0000

This video is priceless. Here we have an Atheist and a True Believer having a calm, rational discussion about belief, knowledge, epistemology, and the existence of God. Of course, it’s rational up to the point at which the caller cannot contain his righteous fury.

Garfield Minus Garfield

There are comics I like, and comics I tolerate, and comics I skip past. I like Get Fuzzy and Dilbert, and I tolerate a whole lot (including Beatle Bailey, Blondie, and friggin Snuffy Smith! Now that’s damn tolerant, indeed.) But one of the comics I regularly avoid is Garfield. There’s something about his character – I think he’s a dog in cat-drag or something. Either way, I can’t stand Garfield.

Until now, that is. In a move that has all the hallmarks of inspired genius, someone has discovered that all that the Garfield comic needed was to give Garfield himself the heave-ho.

Who would have guessed that when you remove Garfield from the Garfield comic strips, the result is an even better comic about schizophrenia, bipolor disorder, and the empty desperation of modern life? Friends, meet Jon Arbuckle. Let’s laugh and learn with him on a journey deep into the tortured mind of an isolated young everyman as he fights a losing battle against lonliness and methamphetamine addiction in a quiet American suburb.

So, today friends, I salute Garfield Minus Garfield
