Gleeful for Glee! (Part 1)
Okay, I was really starting to dislike Glee despite being an ardent Gleek. But tonight things turned around and I'm Gleekier than ever! Sadly, due to family visiting I only caught the end of the episode (womp womp). So I'll first sum up the things that made me giddy, then I'll watch the episode tomorrow on Hulu, and finally I'll write Part 2 of the Gleeful for Glee post. Sound good? Great!
--Yay to Artie being able to walk...well in his dreams. But I loved his little Safety Dance montage. But I'm sad his legs don't work. Also, I'm not too impressed with his voice...maybe it was just that song? I wouldn't know because he hardly gets to sing.
--Woah! to the whole Rachel's long lost mother thing. Is that her mom in real life, because those two were like identical! Creepy!
--Yipee! to next week's Gaga's inspired episode! I love how Kurt was stomping his leg on the ground a la Rocky Horror picture show (at the :26 mark). My sister and I laughed (and imitated this) for a good couple of minutes.
Anyhow, I'll be back tomorrow with full commentary on the return of the Glee I fell in love with.

Most Epic Save (and Win!) Ever
This is a pretty epic fire back from Lance Baxter, whom got dragged through the mud for drunk dialing radical, right-wing Freedom Works. During this drunk dial he called tea partiers "mentally retarded," something that Micheal Stone feels is an insult to the retarded (I agree). Granted, he's got a good voice (hence his Geico voiceovers) but really, this man is HI-LARIOUS and needs to team up with Colbert or Stewart and do something great.
My favorite part is at the 2:10 mark, and that generally summarizes how I feel when trapped in conversations with right wingers. I also enjoyed the Latino man asking (in Spanish) about police using German accents when asking for proof of citizenship! Love it, I'm glad that other people think that this is is absolutely xenophobic, rather than an issue of national security.
To close this amazing piece of "F-you Fox News," the descending tea bags and fireworks are a good close. Bravo D.C. Baxter, Bravo!

Ignorant + Racist = Pennsylvania Cop
Attention white people, please stop blaming "African-American males" for your issues. Susan Smith, runaway brides, bank robbers (well thats different because he posed as a black man) now this dumbass.
I'm still not clear why he shot himself?

Corporations are not people
Okay, this BP thing is about to make me go and start a more militant version of Greenpeace. In fact, look at my people at work. PS: I'd love a copy of that press release.
Anyhow, after weeks this thing is stilllll freeaaaaking GUSHING! Ludicrous. Now, if you recall, I wrote an entry about a week ago, that has one of the few images that shows how much oil is pouring into the ocean. Given the horror of that video, it makes sense that BP representatives, executives, and managers only want you to see that hellish orange sheen lurking to the Gulf shore.
I'm a bootleg body language expert. Now if you take a look, BP's COO Doug Suttles is looking down and shaking his head no. What does that mean? He's lying. Now while the COO lies, the PR machine is putting up all types of videos about "responsible" and "responsive they are." Bullocks and poppycock. I thought that maybe if I used British slang these idiots would rub two brain cells together, make a little heat, and do more to plug the gush and not with trash! Who's ignorant idea was that?!
This weekend I watched Black Wave on Planet Green, a documentary about the Exxon Spill of 1989. It was depressing. In Alaska, over twenty years later oil is still present in the soil, along the rocks, and washing on the shore. The Valdez disaster pales in comparison to the Gulf gush in my opinion. Even though I'm horrified by these some experts and scientists assert that this isn't a big deal and has been sensationalized...I'm sure they will retire nicely thanks to BP.
So, screw you Tony Hayward, Rupert Bondy, Sally Bott, Iain Conn, Robert Dudley, Byron Grote, Andy Inglis, Lamar McKay, and Steve Westwell* for ruining my beaches and raising the price of local seafood.
*I spelled out the executive management staff of BP because I feel that it is important to realize corporations are not people, and as a society we need to push to make each of these individuals responsible for their poor decisions based upon financial greed.
Also, I love Keith Olberman. But Keith, Sarah wasn't the only idiot, she was just the loudest.
