I found this on Ace of Spades:

Very funny, and surprising - it's from a traditional media source! Fixed the link.

I've been mainly using my Blackberry for the past several days. Today, at my daughter's house, I finally have access to a computer. It is nice to have a full keyboard. For short bursts, a Blackberry is OK. but, for extended times, you need to get a larger setup. The political news is not consuming my full attention right now. Until Obama is officially in, all the buzz is just -- air (not unlike a lot of his platform). Once he takes office, I'll see what happens, and comment on it. That's in contrast to the left, who spent most of their time emoting on the POSSIBLE, WIDELY IMAGINED, PROBABLY HORRIBLE POTENTIALLY, MAYBE, NOT TOTALLY WONDERFUL, BUT - OF COURSE - IF SUGGESTED BY A MODERATE REPUBLICAN - SOLELY DESIGNED TO BRING ABOUT THE END OF THE WORLD works of the Bush administration. That exhausted me just writing it.

Don't take my word for it - read it yourself. Warning - go to the bathroom before clicking on the link - you may embarrass yourself.

Connie du Toit wonders: bloggers are nobodies. They have one vote, just like everyone else. They aren’t elected officials so they have no influence to actually do anything different from anyone else. And it’s FREE. It isn’t like you paid to read it. You can’t get a refund on a subscription where no subscription fee was charged. All the usual methods of voting with your feet and your dollars just don’t work with blogging… so I think that causes people to act out really strangely when they get upset by something a blogger writes. We don’t have a precedent for this sort of thing and I think (at least I hope) that’s why people get sort of weird about the way they treat and react to blogs. Connie is referring to the way that some people can't just say "Eh!" and move on - they have to create anti-whoever sites, and rant, and so on. I don't think it's a mystery - it has to do with the fact that it just KILLS them that ordinary people, you and I, can express thems...

Via SondraK, I found these very funny versions of science laws, filtered through political bias . Since I teach science, they're even funnier. It's a geek thing, you wouldn't understand.

This YouTube video is in German, I believe. It is don't-be-drinking-anything-while-watching-it funny. It answers the question: What did Tech Support do during earlier change-overs of operating systems? Found on The Ironic Catholic . They've earned a spot on the blogroll, I think.

I found this quiz on Dappled Things . Haven't done one of these in a long time. , you're now logged in! Below you'll find your test result. After, continue on to your homescreen to discover what we're about. continue to OkCupid homescreen > Katharine Hepburn You scored 16% grit, 33% wit, 38% flair, and 23% class! You are the fabulously quirky and independent woman of character. You go your own way, follow your own drummer, take your own lead. You stand head and shoulders next to your partner, but you are perfectly willing and able to stand alone. Others might be more classically beautiful or conventionally woman-like, but you possess a more fundamental common sense and off-kilter charm, making interesting men fall at your feet. You can pick them up or leave them there as you see fit. You share the screen with the likes of Spencer Tracy and Cary Grant, thinking men who like stro...

TEN THINGS TO PONDER FOR 2007 10. Life is sexually transmitted. 9. Good health is merely the slowest rate at which one can die 8. Men have two emotions: Horny and Hungry. If he’s not chasing you, make him a sandwich. (Is that true?) Read the rest on The Anchoress .

You HAVE to see what Francis Porretto, of Eternity Road, calls "my favorite chick with big knockers".

I find this strange, but ultimately funny . Apparently a group of Muslim hackers attempted to bring down the Vatican computers. They were unsuccessful. Apparently, they were ticked off about the Pope's speech on Islam, and its need to be more tolerant. But the Vatican is protected by Michael - no, not the Archangel, the firewall . I found the picture below on The Curt Jester , a great site that pokes some fun at Catholic practices in a loving way.
