Everything sounds better auto-tuned

Rachel Maddow hosted the Auto-Tune The News folks’ video as a special web-only extra, probably because she’s featured in the Ron Paul segment. Now that’s kick-starting a viral video!

So fucking rock!

As an antidote to the VenomFangX Saga continuation, here’s some Tim Minchin. This man is brilliant.

So Fucking Rock!

And finally a quote that makes me want to have his man-children:

i don’t think one needs to know anything about religion to be an atheist. it is a natural, simple, instinctive thing to be an atheist. i know what you mean – it is nice to know a bit about religion if one wants to bang on about it like i do… but in general, the burden is not on atheists to be knowledgeable or justify their position. their position is the natural zero point. the burden of intellectual justification falls on the people with bizarre beliefs in magic deities and magic books and the ability for mammals to survive their own deaths.

The Party of Sexual Repression goes teabagging

Hey!  Descent!  That was a pretty cool game!
Hey! Descent! That was a pretty cool game!

I was going to let all this “teabagging” business slide, as it’s all, you know, too easy a target. Then I stumbled across the sign that changed my mind.

For those of you just joining this Republican epic fail in progress, the story thus far:

In the late 1700s, Britain was exporting tons of cheap tea to the colonies (meaning America), and the colonists were being forced to pay exorbitant taxes to Britain on that tea, much to the chagrin of the local illegal tea trade moguls who were considered upstanding citizens at the time. However, despite still being under British law, the colonies did not get a say in their parliament, meaning they weren’t represented despite being taxed. Thus the phrase “no taxation without representation”. A group of 7000 people (roughly half the population of Boston at the time) stormed the merchant boats and threw crates of tea into the water, during the Boston Tea Party, one of the most famous protests of all time.

Roughly 250 years later, Barack Obama inherits an economy in shambles, after eight years of Bush running up the national debt to unprecedentedly astronomical figures all while reducing the national income by dropping the tax rate on the rich to the insane low of 35%. He proposes to increase the rich’s tax rate back to where it was in the 90s under Clinton, 39.6%. This of course to the crazies that make up the GOP is socialism, because Republicans completely forget everything that came before Reagan. (Seriously, check that out — it peaks at like 93%!)

My conversation with God

So tonight I had a conversation with The Big Kahuna Himself, obviously taking a break from his telepathic chat-bot duties, and trying out his typing skills on a live question-and-answer website (I guess being God means you can carry on more than one conversation at once!). Here’s how the conversation went.

Me:
Hello God.
God:
Hello child. What is your name?
Me:
Jason.
God:
It’s good to see you, Jason.
Me:
What can you tell me about the Higgs Boson?
God:
I will search for it
Me:
Fermilabs and the LHC are already searching for it.
God:
I think there might be a few exception.
Me:
Do you think you will find it first?
God:
I’ll burn that bridge when I come to it. If you could have any kind of robot what would it be?
Me:
Don’t change the subject, God.
God:
Sorry I thought we were done with that topic.
Me:
No, you haven’t told me anything about the Higgs Boson yet.
