Yay!  Lord of the Rings bloopers!  I hope there’s more where these came from.

Some fat-haters in Mississippi want to see you starve.  Raw Story has the unbelievable report that “[a] bill recently introduced in Mississippi’s state legislature would bar restaurants from serving people determined to be obese.“
    The state’s health department can even revoke permits of establishments that do not comply.  No word on how the determination of “obesity” would be made.  No word on if food establishments have to provide their own scales or have to perform BMI tests on potential customers.  No word on how any McDonald’s will stay open.  And no word on how punishing people who actually go out to restaurants is going to fix anything.
    You might even file this as another sign of the great American police state we’re turning into, except no one has been wantonly tasered or forcibly strip searched ... yet.

Rep Dennis Kucinich moved yesterday to bolster his move to impeach Vice President Cheney by announcing plans to impeach President Bush.

The President and Vice President lied and 4,000 of our soldiers died.  The President and Vice President lied and a million innocent Iraqis died in a war that will cost us two trillion dollars; while people here in the States are losing their jobs, their health care, their homes, their dignity.  Lies are weapons of mass destruction.  Lies are also an impeachable offense.  Monday, January 28th is the State of the Union.  We already know the State of the Union, it’s a lie.

Not surprisingly, self-deluded Republicans and cowardly Democrats moved to strike those words from the record.  They shall not be stricken here.  Impeach now!

Rep. Robert Wexler (D-FL) explains to the dumbasses in the House what the rest of the country has known for years.

Evidently this is my blog’s new look.  Only posts about Kucinich and only on the fifteenth of each month.

The same day as the Tenacious D performance, below, fans of Joss Whedon assembled at the Fox lot to join the picket line and show their support of great writing.

    What do we want?   Grr!
    When do we want it?   Argh!

: here’s part two…

The D rock the WGA picket lines.

    By the way…  Hey, AMPTP!  Get your heads out of your ass, play fair, give the writers what they deserve, and get my shows back on the air!  Why is that so damned difficult?!

Only took him three years, but John Kerry is finally exposing Swift Boat Veterans for Truth for the lying bastards they are. [Link]

The Writers Guild of America, West and East, is on strike to gain their fair share of profits from new media sales.  This means only a few weeks of scripted TV shows; and with all this free time, here’s how I’ll be spending it:

    • United Hollywood
    • Joss Whedon’s updates
    • Late Show Writers On Strike
    • “Writers Strike” on Twitter
    • Variety‘s Scribe Vibe
    • Deadline Hollywood Daily
    • Alliance of Motion Pictures and Television Producers (AMPTP)
