Nuts and Dolts

A few links I've been collecting that don't need a lot of commentary.

Via Avedon, Bill Maher's fake AMA commercial. Funny because it's so true. And he has a good rant on Democrats. Money quote:

Shouldn’t there be one party that unambiguously supports cutting the military budget? A party that is straight-up in favor of gun control, gay marriage, higher taxes on the rich, universal healthcare, legalizing pot, and steep, direct taxing of polluters? These aren’t radical ideas. A majority of Americans are either already for them or would be if they were properly argued and defended. What we need is an actual progressive party to represent the millions of Americans who aren’t being served by the Democrats, because bottom line: Democrats are the new Republicans.

This is amusing in that sick GOP sort of way. Wingnuts plot for mandatory English use while standing under a misspelled banner.

In case you missed it, Obama at the Radio/TV dinner. I thought the jokes were sort of lame myself.

This is aging, but interesting. Jane on How they tried to kill Froomkin's traffic.

And via Mycos, a couple of very cool pictures of a Harpy Eagle. That first one almost looks like a gargoyle.
