Blogging from the back of a moving truck.
The fans have voted.
And it has been determined that Needle Up! (an amateur band from Buffalo, New York) is the “Spammiest” band on Myspace.
Through their use of illegal spam bots, the band has gathered over 5,000 Myspace friends in a lawless scheme to obtain a record deal.

“Therein, lies the rub”- Shakespeare, I think?
Wherein lies the rub? For women, it lies in stereotypes. Women are not allowed to be smart and pretty. They’re not allowed to think about their appearance and about politics. They can’t be funny and smart and pretty. People are surprised when pretty women also happen to be smart. Natalie Portman, for example, gets a lot of credit for being super smart just because she’s also pretty. It’s unexpected.
This makes women feel like they have to choose: Do I care about being pretty, or do I care about being smart?

——STFU RUSH!
Rush Limbaugh, we can all agree, has an inflated sense of importance. He is also annoying, a trait i can ignore most of the time since I don’t listen to his show. Until he starts issuing edicts and interfering with the ACTUAL political process. He’s done that, by telling Pennsylvanians who are registered as republicans to switch their registration to democrat in time for the Pennsylvania primaries, the deadline being yesterday. This should mess up the results and elongate the democrat’s nominee-ship. He’s calling it Operation Chaos, which is a really good name. It’s not fair that a windbag like Limbaugh gets to make up large-scale, awesomely named projects. Limbaugh’s plan is the “create chaos” within the democratic nominating process, in order to ensure a republican victory come November. To this I say the same thing I said to the Dallas Stars in 1999: Is it even worth winning if you have to cheat?
It’s 2008.
And when one friend sends out a great twit that I think another friend should read, there’s one very important thing I can’t easily do.
Forward twits from one friend to another.

I’m sick.
Man sick, even. The kind where the tone of my voice never changes from a whine and when I got out of bed this morning and nobody was around to console my mansickness, I had no choice but to spend a half hour describing my symptoms to my cats.
So I went to the convenient store to pick up whatever potions exist to make me feel better.
My first thought: Orange juice.
Fine, but boring.

Hi, I’m a Pole and here is Dyngus Day. We Poles like to party, which is why we celebrate extra days of the holidays most people get one of. This theory explains both Dyngus Day and Wygilia. Dyngus Day, the day following Easter, is a day of joy for Polish people. Doesn’t that peasant woman look like she’s having a blast? First off, Dyngus Day is also called Wet Monday. Doesn’t that remind you of sex, a little?

Bill Richardson, former presidential hopeful, is endorsing Obama. This is a big deal, OKAY!? He was a top guy in the Clinton administration for starters. Plus he was running against him before- I always feel that if you can endorse someone you debated against and campaigned against then you really mean it. (COME ON JOHN EDWARDS WTF) People were even discussing the possibility of a Clinton-Richardson ticket. One of the biggest parts of this important endorsement is the clout Richardson has over the Hispanic demographic. Polls show that Hispanics overwhelmingly favor Clinton. This high profile endorsement from a Hispanic governor of New Mexico, along with Clinton’s dismissal of Patti Solis Doyle, her Hispanic Campaign Manager, might sway this large block of voters over to Obama in the coming primaries.
