My friend C-Mac on the Palin nod:

“It’s amazing that the VP isn’t selected by a 16-week reality TV program”

I need to arrange a pitch session with Fox, pronto.

Favourite moment: Triumph talking to the local Fox affiliate.

“Fox News…. do you skew the local news too? Like, ‘This water-skiing squirrel has benefitted from having his taxes cut!’”

“I can’t find the quote but somewhere Graham Greene wrote approximately this: Americans have taken the noble idea that anyone could become president and contorted it into the alarming idea that anyone should become president.”

Yacht’s new video is an almost cut-for-cut remake of the ‘Cube Squared’ (Devo) video for Baby Doll in Tapeheads.

Predictably, it is amazing.

Biggie Smalls is alive and well and living on Twitter.

An except from the interview:

“Have you talked to Puff about his rapping? Or his dancing, for that matter?

Look, Puffy concentrating on other things. He got that raisin TV show, his clothing line for white people, some vodka bullshit, and threatening to kill people if they don’t vote. And on top of all that, he tryin’ to marry a 14 year old. So he ain’t got time for you triflin’ reporters talkin bout ‘he can’t dance,’ or ‘he can’t rap.’”

An amazing new(ish) video from the Mountain Goats. The anthemic “Sax Rhomer #1″, as translated to handdrawn typography an captured in (practically) one shot. Perfection.

Fine, the iPhone has GPS and an accelerometer. But does it come pre-loaded with 22 Journey songs and a paint job like an ‘82 Firebird?
