The Hangover - Stu's Song

What do tigers dream of, when they take a little tiger snooze?
Do they dream of mauling zebras, or Hallie Berry in her Catwoman Suit.
Well don't you worried your pretty striped head, we're gonna get you back to Tyson's and your cozy tiger bed.
And then we're gonna find our best friend Doug
And then we're gonna give him a best-friend hug.
Doug, Doug, ohhhh Doug Dougy Dougy Doug Doug
But if he's been murdered by crystal meth tweekers, well then we're $h*t out of luck.

Thelonius Monk - In Walked Bud

Al Franken With the Fire

Comedian-turned-Senator rips on a lady who somehow claims that moving to a European-based system (i.e. France or Germany) would result in more bankruptcies.

The Constitution Was Not Incorporated Against Louisiana

Despite Loving v. Virginia being announced forty-two years ago, which struck down laws placing restrictions on race-based restrictions for marriage one Justice of the Peace in Louisiana has decided to go rogue and deny a marriage license to an interracial couple. "Why?" you ask? Well because of stereotypes and careful research conducted via informal survey.

Bardwell said he has discussed the topic with blacks and whites, along with witnessing some interracial marriages. He came to the conclusion that most of black society does not readily accept offspring of such relationships, and neither does white society, he said.

That makes perfect sense. Cause it doesn't matter what the Fourteenth Amendment said. Or that pesky Supreme Court. I'm sure they didn't ask what black and white people thought about interracial relationships. No, I trust this guy. He seems reliable and reasonable. And not racist at all. In fact, he says he's not racist.

“I'm not a racist. I just don't believe in mixing the races that way,” Bardwell said Thursday. “I have piles and piles of black friends. They come to my home, I marry them, they use my bathroom. I treat them just like everyone else.”

You read that?! "[P]iles and piles..." no way the dude is racist. They can use his bathroom. I know that I invite pretty much anyone in my house. But I'm certainly most selective about who uses my bathrooms. Acquaintances are forced to go in the bushes outside.

France > Pirates

France > Pirates
Although France is the rump of many remarks about being weak, girlie, or just generally soft, they still outmatch Somali Pirates.

The crew of La Somme, a 160-metre (525-foot) command vessel and fuel tanker, easily saw off the brazen night-time assault by lightly armed fighters on two lightweight skiffs and captured five pirates, a spokesman said.

"The pirates, who because of the darkness took the French ship for a commercial vessel, were on board two vessels and opened fire with Kalashnikovs," Admiral Christophe Prazuck said in Paris.

La Somme is the French command vessel in the Indian Ocean, overseeing French air, sea and land forces fighting Somali pirates and hunting terrorists under the banner of the US-led Operation Enduring Freedom.

Officers on the ship have directed commando operations to free French hostages in the hands of Somali pirates.

The pirates tried to flee when they realised their mistake but were pursued by French forces who, after an hour-long chase, caught one of the skiffs, Prazuck said.

So, in summation: the French Navy can beat a bunch of mildly armed Somali Pirates. Way to go France. Still amazing that it was you who helped us win the revolutionary war.

This Just in, CNN: Retarded

I've grown to loathe major networks more and more. Particularly because they produce material such as the following, which has no bearing on the actual news. It's sad that this is passed off as "reporting" and that people are getting paid to do this crap.

Bad Astronaut - Jessica's Suicice (Demo Version)

Unfortunately I couldn't dig up the original version (which is dope).

Joey Cape is by far one of the best, and most overlooked, vocalists I can think of. Lagwaggon and Bad Astronaut rank amongst some of the best indie bands that still somehow exist under the radar (although Bad Astronaut is, I believe, on an indefinite hiatus after the suicide of one of the members - which, is of no relation to this song).

I-Ran

Three miles today. I hadn't run since before NOLA, which, if you're keeping score, that was one week before Labor day more or less. Being busy does that to you. Man, it was awesome. I was tired, my lungs hurt at times, I cramped. But it was amazing.

Can't wait for tomorrow.

Dosh - India India

the best part about shuffle on an iPod? Discovering nostalgia. Dosh has always been close to my heart. The guy produces an amazing sound. India India is easily one of my top five favorite songs by him.

KJ Got Robbed

SF ain't no joke. People always think of SF as being a place of peace and hippies. But those people never went to the Tenderloin. Or cared to notice all the sketchy bums roaming around. Well, Mayor of Sacramento, Kevin Johnson was robbed over the weekend. And while helping someone get in a cab.

Johnson said he noticed a man "well into his 70s" struggling with two bags and holding a book. Johnson said he helped the man on the train and later determined that the man was heading in the same direction. At the Powell Street station, they left the train and began to walk.

On his blog, Johnson continued: "I noticed he was slowing down. I offered to take his bags and his book, plus my own stuff. We walked further. It was obvious he couldn't walk to Sutter Street, about four blocks away. ... I suggested we find a taxi. I found a cab and put the gentleman's bags in the trunk. I gave the driver $20 to cover the four blocks and a tip. When I turned around, my bag was gone.

Sad day man. But in this day and age, we have to be aware.
