If you didn’t know, Stephen Colbert has decided to run for President, 2008. He hopes to be listed on both the Democratic and Republican ballots.
Here is a link to a CNN.com article.Â
The story is ho-hum, but the comments are funny. Some are by people who think that he is a nut-job and that the country needs to focus on getting :
1) on the right track
2) out of the war
3) a life…blah blah blah
Some people cannot take a break from politics for 2 seconds to laugh at the certain level of obsurdity politics entails. Lighten up y’all.
When I was a kid, Snoopy and the Peanut Gang were my FAVORITE. Now that I’m a grown up (kinda), I really like the show, Scrubs. Imagine my delight when I stumbled upon this little mix up from the Scrubs 2003/2004 Christmas party. It’s A Charlie Brown Christmas, dubbed over by the Scrubs cast. Marvelous!
Do you want to participate in a “Fantasy” League, but don’t have time to follow every football or baseball game that is played? Try Fantasy Television.
Big Shot TV is a new website that sets you up as the head of your own television network. You get a budget, buy shows and earn points. Best of all, it’s all calculated automatically, so you really don’t have any work to do. Better yet, pick shows with all of the loud-mouthed troublemakers who grace to covers of tabloid magazines and gain extra points!
“If I thought the show were on its last legs, I would have tried harder to stay the course,” said Fox, whose contract expired in May. “But I feel like it’s going to be around for a while, so if I don’t want some of those dreams to pass me by, I have to get off the ride for a while.”
Alright, friends. I need your help. A good friend and fraternity brother of mine, Darren Hafford, is a movie/tv producer. He has produced two commercials for UW-Whitewater that are being judged in an online video contest. If one of his commercials wins, Darren will get some cash and have his commercial played on Madison’s CW Network and the Jumbotron at the Warhawk’s homecoming game.
Go to www.madisonscw.com today, click on the U.Vid contest logo, and vote for video NUMBER 3 AND NUMBER 4. It is Madison, so you can vote early AND often without any consequences.
I am kinda pissed that NBC decided to exclude their shows from Apple’s iTunes service. The new episodes of Scrubs start on October 25th and I would normally DVR every episode so that I could watch them here at home. These days, though, I really have no time for that. The bulk of each day is spent on the road either at work, school, or out, and and when I am at home it is usually with my daughter, and I would rather she watched Hannah Montana than Dr. Perry Cox, any day. It would be a hell of a lot more convenient to be able to watch the full episodes of the final season of Scrubs on my computer. To hell with them if they think that I am going to pay anything more than $1.99 per episode, though. UGH!
For the record, upon writing this I realized how lucky I am in my life to have nothing else to complain about other than a stupid television show. I love America. Thanks for reading my site.
DETROIT — Authorities said they arrested 13 people and seized more than $500,000 in cash after breaking up a smuggling ring that collected millions of beverage containers in other states and cashed them in for 10 cents apiece in Michigan.
“Each year, this type of activity defrauds the state approximately $13 million,” said Col. Peter Munoz, Michigan State Police director.
The charges include maintaining a continuing criminal enterprise, a 20-year felony, and fraud, a 5-year felony, the statement said.
The probe recalled a 1996 episode of “Seinfeld” in which two characters learn about Michigan’s 10-cent deposit law and head there with a truckload of 5-cent New York cans, hoping to cash in on the difference, before getting sidetracked.
When it comes to the incident (cnn.com link 1, 2, 3, 4…)of the Florida college student who was tased while asking John Kerry about conceeding the 2004 Election and his affiliation (as well as President Bush’s) with the Secret Society known as Skull & Bones, I think Steven Colbert said it best:
“Being tased is no big deal when you consider what The Skull & Bones Society is going to do to him…”
“Let me give you a hint as to what that will involve… Skulls and Bones.”
First off…is MTV hosting a video music award show kind of ironic? Their programming schedule includes about 4 hours of videos all day.
On with this show…I missed the begining (Britney Spears giving a lack-luster comeback performance). This show was a grab-astic mess. I feel bad for the director who had to coordinate all of the crap going on with this show. Unlike the traditional show MTV hosts at Radio City Music Hall, this one was done at the Palms Casino in Las Vegas. The show’s main room had these big round tables where nominees were seated (the tables also doubled as dancing platforms for performers). The weird thing was you couldn’t see anyone…and there were different hotel suites that had groups performing to smaller hotel-room-sized audiences. It was really weird and all over the place. It didn’t look like anyone was at the show, because of the format.
Lowlights…Miss Teen South Carolina attempting to parody herself by acting dumb (Again) by saying “U.S. Americans…The Iraq…” blah blah. Gym Class Heros winning Best New Artist…(These guys have stolen every hook from their “hit” songs from real hit songs. I would spit on these guys if I saw them in public…they are ruining classics)…Kid Rock and Tommy Lee fighting and Pam Anderson was there (are any of these people relevant anymore?)…Too much Yung Joc, T-Pain, T.I, et al. Even The Foo Fighters were boring.
Highlights I saw…50 Cent and Kanye West presenting an award together (does anyone else think their album launch “beef” was dreamed up by them to sell more records tomorrow?)…Linkin Park performing…Chris Brown doing an homage to Michael Jackson’s 1984 VMA performance dance to Billie Jean..and my favorite, Justin Timberlake (after having won an award) saying “I challenge MTV to start playing more videos”.
There was only one show that I used to purchase on iTunes, and that was Scrubs. Now that NBC has decided not to renew their contract with Apple because of NBC’s desire to charge more, I am done buying TV shows (well, at least from NBC). The only reasons I purchased them on iTunes were that they were super easy to buy and they were relatively cheap ($1.99/show). NBC allegedly wants to charge $4.99 per episode, now. Mind you, these are shows that they don’t charge a dime for you to watch on network television (granted there are no advertisements on the downloaded episodes).
