Troopergate Strikes Again

When Hillary Clinton screws up, she really screws up. In a new ad campaign to discredit Obama, the Clinton video shows a fly through of a newspaper clipping. The clipping is titled, "Obama attacks Clinton's gas tax plan." Berni McCoy downloaded a high resolution copy of the video from Clinton's site, because he was curious as to what the article said. Of course, the newspaper clipping wasn't real. Some genius making the ad, actually put those words over an older newspaper article about "troopergate." What's troopergate? A reference to allegations from the past, of Governor Bill Clinton using state troopers to arrange sexual liaisons with women.

American politics is nothing, if not entertaining.

Having a Firm Grip on Spending Taxpayers Dollars

The UK's Office of Government Commerce (OGC), responsible for government procurement, recently underwent a branding exercise, the culmination of which has resulted in the creation of a logo. Everyone loves a logo, and one that is memorable, capable of surviving the changes in strategy and messaging. An OGC spokesman commented to the Register on their new logo:

"The proposed version, which you have sent over, has been shared with staff, and is now going through final technical stages. It is true that it caused a few titters among some staff when viewed on its side, but on consideration we concluded that the effect was generic to the particular combination of the letters 'OGC' - and is not inappropriate to an organization that's looking to have a firm grip on government spend!"

The logo will indeed be memorable, firm grip and all. Just rotate it 90-degrees clockwise to see why.

Harry Potter & The Well of Scammers

Nigerian scambaiting at its best -- here the baiter got the Nigerian scammers to copy, by hand, the entire contents of a Harry Potter novel. It doesn't get any better!

Jon Stewart: When Dick Cheney smiles, an angel gets water-boarded

"Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld were both on television last night, answering questions," said Jon Stewart on Wednesday's Daily Show, comparing the rarity of the event to "a giant squid having sex with Bigfoot as the ghost of Jim Morrison claps giddily."

The Raw Story has Jon Stewart at his best, as he takes apart a couple of the puppeteers of the Bush Administration. Click the image to read more and watch the video.

The Heresy of Pi

The Bible defines Pi as 3. A whole number, as pointed out at the Gospel of Reason. So just how do fundamentalist Christians reconcile the Biblical proclamation with Mathematics? Well, a helping hand. I Kings 7:23-26 references something "circular in shape" -- not a circle. So really, it wasn't a circle. Just more evidence of God testing the faithful.

Nothing

New in consumerism this season -- Nothing! For £3.49, you can purchase the perfect gift for someone who has everything -- Nothing!

What better present for the person who has everything than a poignant reminder that they want for nothing? This lovingly crafted vial of emptiness is filled to the brim with unfettered nothingness. Free from the burden of possessions, the weight of responsibility, Nothing is as idiotic as it is brilliant.

Yes, the world is now officially beyond crazy! Consumerism has taken us over the edge -- you can now buy nothing.

Jon Stewart on Attorney General Alberto Gonzales

The Raw Story has a clip of the Daily Shows commentary on the US Attorney General Alberto Gonzales answers to the queries of both Democrats and Republicans at the Senate hearings into Justice Department's firings of US State Attorneys. In his commentary, Jon Stewart channels Dick Cheney, to coach Gonzales. Says the dick via his televised medium, "You gotta piss lightning and crap thunder, Alberto!" As usual, Stewart is hilarious.

Ford Misses Opportunity

Ford CEO Alan Mulally had an opportunity to save the world, instead, he proved his mettle as a tactically thinking CEO and made the short-term decision. Ford had arranged for one of their hybrid vehicles to make a public appearance at the White House. They had a arranged for a ceremonial charging -- plugging the hybrid in, at the White House. Bush was dragged out on the lawn to do the plugging, but he was apparently heading to plug the electricity into the hybrid's hydrogen tank, when CEO Mulally had the stupid sense to correct Bush. Think about it: hydrogen + electricity = kaboom!

OK, well, maybe not. Safety features and all that -- but one can just imagine. Now I'm never going to buy a Ford again.
