Just think about how awesome games like Call of Duty, Time Crisis, Metroid, and Metal Gear Solid would be. Even those boring targets floating in the air were exciting to watch.

12/20/08 President-elect Obama’s Weekly Address

From landing on the moon, to sequencing the human genome, to inventing the Internet, America has been the first to cross that new frontier because we had leaders who paved the way: leaders like President Kennedy, who inspired us to push the boundaries of the known world and achieve the impossible; leaders who not only invested in our scientists, but who respected the integrity of the scientific process,

…

Because the truth is that promoting science isn’t just about providing resources — it’s about protecting free and open inquiry. It’s about ensuring that facts and evidence are never twisted or obscured by politics or ideology. It’s about listening to what our scientists have to say, even when it’s inconvenient — especially when it’s inconvenient. Because the highest purpose of science is the search for knowledge, truth and a greater understanding of the world around us.

Obama has already proven his ability to tame the beast that is the World Wide Web, let’s see if he can be just as visionary elsewhere. Maybe it’s just me, but but does  anybody else find it ironic that we’re all so excited about science, even more so because of the Bush administration being so against it?

Watch as grownups – and government officials - discuss lizard people and the FSM for 9 minutes. it’s a fine moment in American democracy. remember, there is a senate seat on the line.

Back Story: apparently ‘Lizard People’ and ‘Fly Spaghetti Monster’ are the Chuck Norris equivalent in of ironic humor when it comes to write ins for the ballot, meaning that tons of people write these names in; aka Ron Paul voters.

“Lizard People” invade MN Senate Recount!

There’s gotta be someone out there up for making the other Prop. 8 musical — the one with angry activists storming restaurants and Mormon temples, hectoring elderly people over their signs, and hounding donors large and small until they pay off their tormentors in the name of tolerance. Anyone?

Yep, Michelle Malkin is actually using her blog to encourage people to make anti-gay musicals. How childish is she? The pro-gay movement is making a musical, the anti-gay  crowd needs one too! This is why nobody takes you seriously michelle. Also, comedy tip: racism + sarcasm is not a  good way to get laughs (seriously, read through you last 3 years of blog posts. that’s your comedy formula)

the musical she is responding to?

Yep, it’s from Will Ferral’s  humor site Funny or Die. Conservatives just don’t understand that the status quo isn’t funny. That’s why the 24 hour news hour didn’t work, and why Bill O’Reilly doesn’t think the Daily Show is funny.

If her mouth isn't open, it means she's building up "conservative hate foam" to spew out

It appears that Michell Malkin doesn’t undersatnd that protesters during the last two inaugurations weren’t protesting against the idea of inaugurations, they were protesting against the guy being inaugurated. Does Malking really think they were protesting against the ceremony? Also, do you really want to be that guy protesting at the first black president’s inauguration?

Malkin’s posts are written in a fire and brimstone anger that is barely contained by the text.

President Obama’s Chicago machine is kicking into high gear to plan and fund his massive, unprecedented inaugural festivities. He just appointed an inauguration planning committee that includes his hometown cronies William Daley and Penny Pritzker.They’ve got a campaign-style website counting down the days to the massive party in Washington. To deflect attention from the costs, the One’s party planners are patting themselves on the back for limiting inaugural donations to individual contributions of $50,000 — a move they say is historic. But Bill Clinton also refused corporate money for his second inaugural and capped donations at $100. (Bush raised $42 million for his second inaugural, mostly from corporate donors, capped at $250,000.)

I mean come on. “hometown cronies” ? They planning a PARTY. It’s not like these guys are running FEMA or anything. Cause that would be ridiculous, right? How can Malkin even consider this information critical of Obama? He’s only accepting donations from individuals. He’s the first person to ever cap donations. All of this, after Bush had a $40,000,000 inaugeral ball.  *sound of hand slapping forehead*
