- @st0ney that’s crazy talk #
- Working on an ever growing todo list and getting ready to meet @lewisesq for lunch. #
- just got back from lunch with @lewisesq stomach is so full of maria’s. also, i’d like to welcome sleepiness to the afternoon’s festivities. #
so tonight sarah silverman was on Jay Leno which feels like it should be be illegal in at least 48 states.
nonetheless, she was able to promote her pro-obama video “the great schlep” which is both politcal & comedy genius.
next week, when obama wins, i’m going to invite sarah to my election-after-party.
tonight a cool chick I exchange messages with on twitter sent out this tweet (twat?):
“So apparently im a jaded old hag… Just walked through a haunted house without a flinch. People jumped; I laughed.”
this made me think of the following graph courtesy of the kids at collegehumor.com
it’s funny b/c it’s so fuck true…also i’m definitely feeling the “potential sexiness of your costume” curve this year.
so one of my prankster friends sent me this b/c my friends are a bunch of jokers who think that they are comedians who deserve their own fuck HBO special.
*love you*
anyway, when I saw it I couldnt help but think of the great-fuck-state of FLORIDA!
now i know that according to all the polls, even a backward-fuck-state like FL couldnt dick up this election for the rest of us (AGAINx2) but it’s hard to forget the past when you’ve been burned.
the rude pundit sums up perfectly the impact of Obama’s infomercial to racist-white-conservative-america:
If you still thought prior to it that Barack Obama was going to rape your white wife and kill your white children, there’s no amount of ad time that would change your mind.
the “rest” of us watched it and were—once again—amazingly proud to have supported Obama for the past 20months.
next tuesday cannot come soon enough.
here’s a beautifully done video…
our country votes in less than a week.
if you are fortunate enough to live in a state that is voting on equal marriage rights, then consider your vote carefully; history will remember each and every one of us.
whom better to deliver this message than Reagan himself?

today is my grandpa’s birthday.
his name is J.L. Carter.
he was born in a small farm town bordering the even smaller town of norman, oklahoma.
as the universe would have it, he is my namesake, my lineage and my best link to the past.
he has seen more in his lifetime than i could ever imagine to experience and has done so with more class than i could ever hope for myself.
looking back on my life, he was one of my earliest heroes.
you see, from the start he and i were the best of buddies and tonight i was reminded that we still are.
on those ubiquitous-sunday-morning drives to church, he would play songs from his 8-track player and mesmerize me with stories of times past.
keep in mind, that i refused to let him go anywhere without me. my baby sister could find her way to church with my grandma; i was going to ride with the man of the house.
the short run from the front door of their humble porch to the driver side of his green & white ‘77 chevy cheyenne was inconsequential. (i had timed myself numerous times and no one could best me.)
him in the driver seat, me standing on the bench by his side, my arm around his neck, together we drove.
the music seemed larger than life.
i remember listening to this song and i can almost feel his truck’s rough bench cloth seat and remember the smell of his aftershave; i squint to see the road signs ahead while the sun shines in our faces on Highway 58.
we pull up through the church’s tortuous gravel parking lot and i hop out. we’re here and there’s work to be done before everyone else arrives…but the drive was good…
…25 years later it still is.
ok, i admit that it took me about 30seconds to figure out the punchline of this cartoon…nice job Daryl Cagle.

Today Apple Inc issued this statement opposing Proposition 8 in California:
Apple is publicly opposing Proposition 8 and making a donation of $100,000 to the No on 8 campaign. Apple was among the first California companies to offer equal rights and benefits to our employees’ same-sex partners, and we strongly believe that a person’s fundamental rights — including the right to marry — should not be affected by their sexual orientation. Apple views this as a civil rights issue, rather than just a political issue, and is therefore speaking out publicly against Proposition 8.
good on you, Apple.
if you missed last night’s SNL special, then you’ve got to take a look at Fred Armisen’s take on the election “magic map”.
