The Lazy Blogger

What does one do if he doesn't feel like writing a long entry in his blog but he would like to put some content up? Usually I link to a news story that pisses me off or embed a Daily Show or Colbert Report clip. Today I'll try something different and utilize my massive Flickr archive. How about my long hair and beard from January 2005? I think it should be obvious why that is the last time I tried to grow a beard.

I Love Goblin Cock

OK, I've only heard about four songs so far (one of them is a cover of the Porpoise Song by the Monkees!) but I've heard enough to say I love Goblin Cock. Watch the video below and I believe you may realize that you love Goblin Cock also. Goblin Cock!

Bloggies.

Looking for new blogs to look at? Every year we get the Bloggies. It's like the Oscars for blogs. I usually don't vote because I haven't heard of half the blogs they list but it is a good place to find new blogs.

More Fun with Time Lapse

Tonight I filmed the miniature dachshund, Isaac, while he lounged on the couch while we watched a little television. We have been watching the BBC mini series called State of Play and it's incredible. British television drama is so much better than what is on TV that is not HBO or Showtime that it's embarrassing.

A few things about the video

1) You may notice that Isaac is looking to the left a lot. He's looking at us. He loves people and he stares.

2) He leaves the couch for a bit. That is when Melanie is eating and he is coming over for a snack.

3) For a few seconds you see his butt. He is coming back for more food.

4) The camera took a shot every 15 seconds and the frame rate is 4 per second.
Snubber in Chief

Because I am a masochist I take a look at far right blogs just to see what the truly insane are working themselves up over and it looks like that, for now, any event that President Barack Obama doesn't attend will be looked upon as a snubbing by the president. The fake outrage will be especially virulent if there is any way they can attach a "snubbing" by Obama to him "disrespecting" the troops.

Israel vs Hamas

Patrick Lang links to a interesting read on the current situation.
Holy Incredible Nutso Freak Jobs

Pretty soon all that is going to be left for Fox News is to pull out a picture of our new president and poop on it on live TV.

Who is really our president?

Stephen Colbert was especially funny last night when he addressed those jackasses at Fox "News" and their "concern" that Obama may not actually be president because Chief Justice Roberts pooched the oath. I guess we can put to rest any doubts that Fox was going to change its tune with a new administration. Hilarious video below.

Obama's Inaugural Address

The one line that truly mattered: "As for our common defense, we reject as false the choice between our safety and our ideals."
Snow Day!

Today is a snow day in Charlotte. The library is closed which means the schools are closed. I am not one of those transplanted northerners that loudly announces that southern folks are candy asses because two inches of snow shuts the city down for a day or two. Why? Because I appreciate free days off. They are gifts from god and show us that he loves us. Today it also means that he expects me to sit on my butt and watch Obama's inauguration. Now I have to find out what time that is taking place.

I took a few pictures outside the house just now. The roads are a little icy but not too bad. Definitely a good idea to shut down the library. It's best not to take any chances.
