The Internet’s 99 Greatest Hits

Yeah, at least it beats watching Scherer smirk all over Tweety.

Aw, lay off. Scherer brings out my maternal instincts. (Ask my kids whether or not that’s a good thing.) I thought he held his own and contributed to the “discussion”. If I were on Tweety’s show I’d probably kick him hard in the shins the first time he interrupted me. Would not suggest that to Scherer, if he’d like more teevee exposure.

Of course we have a lot of “Time” to kill, Mikey. We read you don’t we. Fortunately, I’m also reading some Fenimore Cooper and my beloved Cormac at the same time. Kind of like beer: I might want to drink only Oregon microbrews, but sometimes I have to drink this Asahi swill.

Regarding the Obama administration’s $900 million aid package to help re-build Gaza: It’s true that there’s something simultaneously ironic, perverse and just about the aid package: Israel uses American weapons, massive amounts of American money and America’s diplomatic cover to devastate Gazan society, and then the U.S. bears the cost of repairing the damage wreaked by Israel and re-building Gaza. Nonetheless, that seems to be the least we can do….

Cliff, great link. Thanks

jcapan – I haven’t met a Japanese beer that I’ve liked. Can’t say much for Chinese beer either.

Two degrees of separation between Scherer and 2 girls, 1 cup. Figures.

dfh – thank wvng, he’s the intrepid web crawler who throws all these links together.

jcapan: I’ve suggested a number of times that we simply “buy them out.” Give them houses, Internet, TVs, video games – and cheezy poofs! can’t forget those… – all the trimmings and trappings of modern western “culture,” and they’ll quickly become too fat and lazy to pick up rocks and fire grenade launchers. Just look at modern Americans.

Maybe some enterprising soul in the State Dept. could come up with a localized version of American Idol – we’ll start with a working title of “Gaza Idol” – and then they, too, will be sucked into hours of mindless hackery, sandwiched between seemingly interminable ads. Coke and McDonalds FTW!

Here’s yer “2 girls, 1 cup”… I dare ya…

Washington Post profit falls 77 percent in 4th qtr

Cliff–They do exist, but it’s hard enough to find them here, let alone the tripe that gets shipped across the pond. Think Corona, or our own Bud. How many wanker Brits do I encounter who bemoan US beer when all they’ve ever consumed is Anheuser Mush. A fair number of microbrews here but even greater obstacles to getting product to mkt. Strangely, when I lived in a town a fraction of the size of my current megalopolis, they had a kick-arse brewery. Now I have to trek all over town. And if you look you can find a few decent imports: Bass, Anchor Steam…

Yes, I’ve always sympathized with the Taleban et al–who would want our LCD culture forced upon them!? But it sure does the job of pacifying the mobs–8 years of Bush-Cheney and the Bastile held. Today’s culture in much of the developed world puts us in pods–we have the illusions of community but I say we’re being anesthetized.

Looks like Cincy ordered the “Schadenfreude Special, extra snarky”…

#100 should be this one:

Of course, as anyone in Hawaii or here can tell you, go take a look at a lahar flow, then work out a response to Mr. Jindals’ “sage” advise.

A 300 meter thick kilometer wide 70 kmh surge of pyroclastic mud at 450C would surely convince anyone!

Except or course, Hulagate…

If one looks at this horse from the rear (temporally speaking), it looks like poetic justice.

Howsomever (hic!), looking at it from the front, it looks more like playing on racial hatred to boost the bottom line.

Where’s my beer…

Speaking of beer, for any Swamplanders in the DC area on Friday (5-6:30 ish) I can usually be found at the west end of the bar at Franklins in Hyattsville, sitting with a guy with a long gray pony tail. Very good beer.
