If this is true (And Strangely I haven’t seen it reported anywhere else), and the global Gag rule has been overturned and funding for United Nations Population Fund restored, this is truly a great great day.
Drinks are on me. As soon as my brother tells me the name of the bar he went to that has 50 cent natty light drafts.

Too funny. (via Tapped, and about 20 other blogs that have grabbed it)
John Kerry gives a speech on Iraq. A damn good one too.
Afterwards Bush responds with:
“"Forty-three days before the election, my opponent has now suddenly settled on a proposal for what to do next, and it's exactly what we're currently doing."
And his campaign spokesman responds with:
“John Kerry's latest position on Iraq is to advocate retreat and defeat in the face of terror."
Stupid mistakes like that makes me want to practice love with my OBGYN.
Went to the Found Magazine’s Slapdance Across America tour "2004!" last night at the Hartford Stage. They’re a magazine that simply collects found stuff. So we had their editor, a 21 year old kid drinking a 40 (Olde English) and reading from some of the notes they found. It was actually pretty funny stuff. Also, the editors bother, from a band called The Poem Adept, did some songs.
The funniest of which was the Booty Don’t Stop, which was his “cover” of the classic original, with newly added lyrics. You can listen to it here, but its ten times more funny when you know the back story.
From the website.
These ten musical gems came to me by way of Greg Warner in Phoenix. A few years back Greg's friend Nigel Morgan found an unmarked cassette-tape on the street in Ypsilanti, Michigan which contained a string of minute-long booty-rap anthems. Apparently some thugged-out white kids with a drum machine had put together a demo tape.
I've given these dudes the name Ypsilanti All-Starz and titled each of the songs. My favorites are "Yo' Shit Be Up in My Face," "Yo' Ass is So Fine" and "Wiggle on the Flo'."
What's remarkable to me is the earnestness with which these songs are performed. Some folks disagree with me but I don't think the Ypsilanti All-Starz are aware of their comic brilliance.
This tape circulated around south-east Michigan for two years, copied and recopied. Then Greg played it for someone who said, "I know these guys!" This person said it was not a satire; these guys were out to make it big. They were fully confident they'd sell a million records.
If it means anything to the Ypsilanti All-Starz, I'd buy one. Suffice it to say, all the songs are basically the title repeated over and over again over a drum machine.
You can listen to some of them here
The remix they made with new lyrics here.
They will send you a copy of the whole original tape for 12 bucks. I may do that because there’s no way “Ass-Whomp Bustin' Out of Yo' Back Pocket” can be bad.
Yet another reason to not drink Coors. That is, other than the main reason. That its pisswater.
In the lobby, Holly (for Holland) Coors, the thin, blond doyenne of the Colorado beer outfit, had just returned from Madison Square Garden, where her son Pete, the chairman and former C.E.O. of Coors, who is running for the Senate from Colorado, had given a speech. Mrs. Coors, wearing a red St. John Knits suit and pink sneakers, stood in the center of a circle of Rangers. A rhinestone pin spelling out “bush 2004” was fastened to one lapel and a matching pin spelling out “coors 2004” was pinned on the opposite lapel.

"The man has a vision,” Mrs. Coors said.
“Vision,” Mrs. Moss repeated.
“It’s his faith,” Mrs. Coors said. “It breaks my heart to hear him criticized. They hated our Lord, too.”
Yea thats right. Bush is like Jesus. And anyone who dares to critizize him, are the evil "they" that hated him. 3 guesses as to what "they" this bigoted pile of slime is referring to.

2 headlines that are on MSNBC’s website right now, both linking to the same story.
CBS admits Guard documents false
CBS: BUSH DOCUMENTS CAN'T BE VERIFIED
If you read the article, guess which headline is more accurate? And guess which one is featured at the top of the page, and which one is buried at the bottom?
