New week, some funny links

By Benton on 10:59 PM
Hi all,

Hopefully I'm still getting some interested readership. Not a lot of comments really so as far as I know this could just be the glorified journal I was talking about when I started it. Anyway, this was more because I really wanted to send out these absolutely hilarious links than me really having anything to say. That said, I am currently watching the Daily Show's spin on the Sarah Palin speech yesterday, in which John Stewart refers to her as the "thrilla from wasilla" and also questions her attempt to use the American soldier to attack the media: "so how about, in honor of the American soldier, ya quit makin things up." Hmmm...

Some interesting things out here in politics today, including Nancy Pelosi saying that there will be a healthcare vote before the recess. Good luck. Also, that Rep. Perriello of Virginia will not run against the candidate people out here most feared. And slowly I am learning how to really follow these races, so maybe I'll provide some more detail later.

But, if you want to follow to news I follow the most, check out Chris Cillizza from the Washington Post.

On to the links:

First two from the Daily Show, the first being on Barack Obama's birth certificate issues. And second from his first foray into the energy issue last week.

And lastly, a great story from The Onion. See if you can pick out what they are poking fun at. Please, get it. Please.

One quick addition - best wedding procession EVER!

Stay Classy.

    If there's anyone at all out there who didn't "get" The Onion piece, I give up.

    1. Was watching a bunch of Daily Show episodes today and one of them was the 7/27 one about Sarah and I totally thought of how proud you'd be of me for watching it because I don't watch TV anyway but I just started DVRing the show. The one that made me laugh the hardest was 8/3 when he wondered what Pres Obama is doing with all the 'clunkers.' :) HAHAHA
    2. Love The Onion article.
    3. You jacked that from my facebook, huh. ;) I'm so gonna blow that wedding entrance out of the water when I tie the knot. :)

    Hugs B!

    TB I definitely did not steal that from your Facebook. Actually, really funny, I saw it the O'Reilly Factor. Talk about irony.
