The last twenty seconds or so of that video made me laugh more than anything else has in quite some time. Affleck SMASH! Affleck HOWL! Affleck FLOPS THE FUCK AROUND ON THE FLOOR LIKE A DYING FISH!

You have to wonder from some of the book descriptions there if the "recommender" has actually read these books or just got a nod from the publisher to throw them in the list. Those are two of the most misleading and inaccurate descriptions of Atonement and The Line of Beauty that I have ever witnessed. Note to potential readers: don't buy TLOB thinking you will read about hazy beach lazing and a French trip: the French trip isn't even covered in the book, it's more about what happens to the character who doesn't go to France.

Holy shit, I think I watched that 'roid video in school, no lie. That is fucking hilarious, I had no idea it was Ben Affleck!

Steroids give you OCD? Or is that a form of autism?

Look, punching walls isn't that hard. If you have some idea where the studs are, just avoid them and you can punch through the drywall in a safe yet impressive fit of rage. If you don't know where the studs, jab the wall. It lacks the drama of a fist-sized hole, but will crack the drywall and you won't break your hand or, if Affleck there is any indication, dislocate your shoulder.

I have no sympathy for that cunt Palin, she said the most vile things about President Obama during the Presidential campaign and now the bitch is bitching and moaning about the big bad media. Bitch please, you signed up for this shit when you agreed to be ole Johnny boy’s running mate. Now you can take your ass back to hunting and fishing all the live long day, bitch.

The Mr and I were having a very spirited, and serious, conversation this morning about whether Sarah Palin is more stupid or crazy. He was really pushing for the crazy, which is justified, but you just can't discount the obvious stupid. When do we get to start betting on the cause of her inevitable, and spectacular, breakdown that forces her to resign from politics for life? It could be anything with those wacky Republicans.

If you would like some older Affleck,
check this out.
I had to watch this in grade school.

Voyage of The Mimi,
Coming to a Movie House near you.

Katy:

You know you can be stupid and crazy. I'm just sayin'

That's Adrien Brody. They were upset becauset it wasn't Adam.

Oh those ugly.....ugly.....ugly glasses.

"Joel Silver told us that there is no enthusiasm to make a Veronica Mars movie"

Quick, everyone, grab your pitchforks and flaming torches! Convene on Mr. Silver's front lawn.

Palin is running for President of the United Canadas of Canada. You owe us one. This also settles the crazy vs. stupid debate. Even Canadians know there is no Canadas.

And may I recommend "The Fog of War" as one of the most brilliant documentaries ever?

I understand that Sarah Palin intends to continue improving America from outside the government. Which would make her sort of a "community organizer," would it not?

Which eighties cartoon or movie had that flying black metal robot horse in it? I think it was either the Care Bears or My Little Pony. That thing was badass.

Todd:

Is that you First Dude? Welcome to Pajiba.

That book list shows an alarming lack of Bradbury's Dandelion Wine, which might be the perfect summer book.

Also, Adrien Brody is hot, no matter what he wears, and Ron Weasley is hot, no matter what flu he has.

Oh, and JGL and Eccleston?! Both evil? I have never had one iota of interest in this movie until now. Ummmmm.

So, I started to play that video, left the room, and when I came back Ben Affleck was humping the floor. For a second, I caught a glimpse of Jennifer Garner's life.

Oh man, Ben Affleck reminds me of a spirited...then desolate Jessie Spano.

@ Kolby

1) At least 8:1
2) No less than 27%
#) Assuming we can get the plasma cannon working before the GOP National Convention and we spring for the good fuel made from baby seals? I'd say 82%.

I can't be the only one who thinks Sarah Palin is a nasty filthy slut in bed. I mean stuff like talking dirty, titty fucking, having you jizz all over her face and in her mouth, shit like that.

Also, McNamera was a number of things, but crazy he wasn't. You're claiming that he was shows a complete and utter ignorance of history as well as a pathetic inability to see historical events in their own context, not filtered through 40+ years of hindsight.

Having had a truly batshit insane mother, I have good radar for this kind of stuff and here is the Snuggiepants Official Diagnosis of La Palin:

75% of her problem is sheer ignorance. Please remember she shuffled around from one middlin' college to another until she finally found one (the fifth, I think?) that would agree to grant her a bachelor's degree. And that was probably the intellectual zenith of her life.

I do think she has a touch of the old Narcissistic Personality Disorder and believe me, I know from narcissism, unfortunately. They're the worst mothers on earth. Anyway, I think that's about 15% of her problem.

Oh, the other 10%? Does everyone forget she's a Pentacostal?

She's a tall glass of straight up stupid with a twist of narcissism and dirtied up with a bit of the crazy.

She did Alaska a favor, but I fear it means she's unleashing her stupid/narcissistic/crazy on the rest of us. Even more so than before.

Farrah Fawcett dies, but this one will live to be one hundred and fucking two. Watch.

sansho: the big problem here was that, because Zelaya had hired his OWN firm to distribute, receive, guard and count the ballots without anyone else ever having a look at them, there was NO way that the vote would have reflected the truth. And so, if the vote had taken place, of course the results would have been in Zelaya's favor (that he keeps claiming that it would have been fair is a complete joke) and so he could have done anything he wanted with them.

And just...the simple fact is that it was completely unconstitutional for Zelaya himself to conduct a vote. The President isn't allowed to do that. He had to go through the Electoral Tribunal, but he decided to act on his own. And it wasn't the first time he did that, either. I'm writing a really big entry on what Zelaya's government was like, so people will have a better idea of the mess we'd been sunk into these past three years.

So...it doesn't even matter if he had the actual votes or not, because he would have lied about the results anyway.

PaddyDog: I agree, Palin is a total Fame Whore suffering spotlight deprivation. Hopefully, America's smart enough to realize that a few years as Mayor of Nowheresville and a half-assed job as a state governor aren't enough to qualify you for the White House.

Badalamenti: Oh, god. The Voyage of the Mimi. Damn you to Hell for forcing me to un-repress that memory.

I could have sworn a certain female during a particular candidacy attempting to pillory her opposition because apparently they wanted to "cut and run."

"Cut and run"...hmmm, sounds awfully familiar...

Thanks, shansho1. A lot of people here are pretty shocked at the manner of his removal, but still glad he left. I think it's just proof of how disliked he was.

Sadly, it seems only a couple of reporters appear to have hit the nail.

Palin is quitting because Alaska is boring vis a vis the spotlight, and as others have pointed out, she seems to crave the spotlight.

But she also craves some of the things celebrity can bring - and without the threat of scandal that taking advantage of the Guvnaship brings.

Once she hits the campaign and paid speech circuit she can clear about $125,000 a week instead of the $125,000 a year she makes as Guv, without the threat of scandal and ethics violations. Celebrities never have to worry about that stuff.

Sad thing is, she will worry about it and whine and cry - and it will only make her fans love her more - and THAT could help her get back into the race.

Wow Robert McNamara died??

I studied him and the documentary Fog of War last semester in college. Very powerful.

Oh man, that Ben Affleck clip is the best thing I've seen since the video of the kid freaking out over the canceling of his World of Warcraft subscription.

Re: Palin, the DNC Chairman nailed it: "Her popularity has dimmed and oil revenues are down." Plain & simple. That, and she's a deranged cunt who was never qualified in the first place. National spotlight means people notice that kind of thing now. I'm sure Fox News has already made her an offer she can't refuse.

Don't buy figgy's rubbish, this was a military coup.

A great treatment of this issue can be found here.

According to International Telecommunication Union data from 2007, 6 of 100 people in Honduras have internet access. Furthermore, in 2006, 2.5% of the income share was held by the lowest 20%. I share these facts to put in perspective what kind of Honduran might speak excellent English and have seemingly endless internet connectivity. I suspect figgy has a bone to pick in this 'fight' and is spreading information from his/her own perspective. That's fine, but it is factually inaccurate.
