Inexcusable! No, wait...

According to the Onion a New Yorker recently misquoted The Princess Bride.  Inconceivable!

The truth in comedy

I love the Onion, but it's a shame they have so much material for satire...

Here's one for thought: Are politicians failing our lobbyists?

I like the part at the end, about having a president identified with a logo. Like an O, perhaps?

But seriously, I don't think corporations need to worry about our politicians...they seem to be getting plenty of money from the government now.

And then there's this gem: Congressment offers preemptive apology for extramarital affair.

Don't need to comment on that, really. Our society, ladies and gentlemen.

Not enough madness in our schools

I'm not so sure about that, but I do like me a good Onion article.  Man, I gotta read some Lovecraft.

The Onion gets it right on Israel

BAM.

This just in: obvious is funny

This short article is slightly old, but I come back to it every so often. I don't know what it is; I guess I'm just a sucker for anything that states the obvious, hashing and rehashing in a clever way.

Anyway, do you like turkey sandwiches?

Focusing on the Issues

I'm glad to finally see some media coverage of what matters to me, and indeed most Americans. When I vote for the next president, I don't care about policy so much about which candidate looks the snaziest or makes me feel the fuzziest inside.

Noteworthy News: 6/16/08

Today's top stories in entertainment included coverage of this year's high school Tony awards. To think I could have been in the running 8-5 years ago if only I had stuck with drama club.

In international news, there was an item that perplexed me somewhat. A kidnapped Osakan was freed in Pakistan on Saturday. It's always a victory when a kidnap victim is released alive, however what was the young man doing before he was abducted? According to a Japan Times article, "[h]e had been traveling alone after teaching English in Nepal with a volunteer group." Ok Japan, what the hell? If you have young Japanese adults who are capable of teaching English by their lonesome abroad, why do you need to hire foreigners to do it in your own country? Well, I guess I should just be grateful for the job and bow apologetically.

In the video game arena, there's a new free-to-play MMORTS coming out that looks rather interesting, even if the playable races are horribly cliched. It's called Dreamlords: The Reawakening, and I'm too scared to put the time into investigating it further.

That's all for now, so until later...
