Netflix is Soon to be Everywhere
TiVo is joining up with Netflix to bring tons of more streaming online movies to TiVo devices over the internet, browseable on any TV set. Netflix subscribers will soon see a ton of new movies and TV episodes. Soon it will work on XBox, too. Maybe the Google phone or iPhone is next?
It makes me wonder, though, now that we are getting TV and movies streaming online anywhere in the house, and Japan has had TV on their cell phones for years, . . . what the hell do the Japanese have now??
Anchorage Demorat, 60, files claim against Palin
A 60-year-old Anchorage Democrat filed a claim againt Republican VP nominee Sarah Palin claiming she abused her power and used state money to fund her children's travel and lodging.
And I got something in the mail about why I shouldn't vote for Obama because he's a tree-hugging liberal that doesn't want to tap into the natural reserves (location unspecified). And it wasn't from McCain's campaign; it was from a local branch. (Maybe McCain should get some of his wife's money involved. LOL!) But seriously, drill in the Gulf? Wait, how long does it take to build an oil platform in the Gulf? and how many offshsore rigs have been destroyed or damaged in the last few hurricane seasons? ... One second thought, maybe I shouldn't be reading a website in which their front page article paints a grim, dystopic future where society as we know it collapses in on itself.

Take THAT, Caribou Barbie!!
The Alaskan Daily News, Alaska's largest newspaper, endorses Barack Obama for the next president of the United States.
The following statement refers to the economic meltdown, though it describes my reasons for voting for Obama (rather than a man with decades more experience who also happens to be so diametrically opposed to all of my opinions) better than I could have summized.
"[Obama] brings far more promise to the office. In a time of grave economic crisis, he displays thoughtful analysis, enlists wise counsel and operates with a cool, steady hand."
About Palin's inexperience and McCain's old age the paper stated, "Gov. Palin's nomination clearly alters the landscape for Alaskans as we survey this race for the presidency — but it does not overwhelm all other judgment. The election, after all is said and done, is not about Sarah Palin, and our sober view is that her running mate, Sen. John McCain, is the wrong choice for president at this critical time for our nation. ... Like picking Sen. McCain for president, putting her one 72-year-old heartbeat from the leadership of the free world is just too risky at this time."
I wonder what Ms. Shopoholic thinks of this!

And this may be a bit of old news, but I felt like I had to work this in. Here's what Matt Damon had to say about Sarah Palin.

More Tina Fey

Yay for Tina Fey!
I don't know about the rest of you, but I have LOVED watching Tina Fey do those Sarah Palin impersonations on Saturday Night Live. Tina Fey has always been a funny gal, but this stuff with Palin has been so simultaneously hilariously and eerily accurate that at one time I couldn't believe that Sarah Palin actually said that she didn't know what the Vice President did every day... It had to be Tina Fey. (It actually was Palin who admitted she had no idea what the VP does. I bet McCain bursted a blood vessel when he heard that.)
Tina Fey went on Letterman talking about how she does Palin's accent, which I just told is a farce -- she never had that thick of an accent before six months ago. Maybe she's just doing it to look cute in the face of Mr. Wilson--I mean John McCain.
"She digs in those R's. I think she thinks there's oil in those R's." LOL!
In case you missed last Saturday's SNL, you can see clips of it here. Sadly, though, I think this may be the end of Tina Fey's Palin impersonations on SNL as she has been soooo busy working on 30 Rock, which was dismissively mentioned by SNL's producer and creator Lorne Michaels in last Saturday's SNL. =)
"CARIBOU BARBIE!?" LMAO!!

I'm a PC! LOL
Microsoft sent me a link to this in an email. I'm a PC! It looks like it's their attempt to get back at Apple for laying all those negative ads against them...
I'm a PC!
It would be more effective, I think, if this guy's sarcastic comment didn't ring so true. He goes, "I'm a PC and I like to watch videos that work." LOL Maybe it's due to Microsoft's new Silverlight they're using there, or maybe it's my internet connection. If it were the latter you'd think it would stream faster the 2nd or 3rd time, but that's not the case...
Check out this hottie!
Neat Political Survey!
MySpace is hosting a pretty cool web application now (and probably has for a long time running but that I'm just noticing) that surveys you on your political positions, provides you with a few opinions on a particular issue, and asks with which you agree most, and then it reveals the candidate who made the statement. At the end you see the results of the quiz and the results of all other MySpace users complete with maps and pie charts for the entire country or any state. Each map's color gradation is based upon the options from which you can so granularly select including gender, age, and issue. It's rather one-sided when you see it, but keep in mind these are MySpace users, not your average *ahem* conservative Republicans.

First Meteor to be Observed Prior to Impact....Makes Impact
Early Tuesday morning in the desolate Sahara Desert of northern Sudan, just east of the Nile River, a rock big enough to fill your living room came streaking in at eight miles per second, brightly flashing as it exploded in the Earth's atmosphere.
Meteors of this size enter the Earth's atmosphere all the time, but what makes this one unique is that it was the first meteor to be observed prior its impact with the Earth.
... *pause of dramatic effect*
These things are teeny tiny in astronomical proportions, but what makes them so hard to spot is that they're dark -- so dark that only the slightest fraction of the sun's light is reflected off its opaque surface, having about the same reflectivity as a lump of coal.
... Kinda scary, isn't it? Now guess how long we knew it was coming?
Less than 19 hours. Even worse, most scientist would agree that if a large meteor were to strike the Earth the chances that we would even see it coming at all would be slim. IF we were lucky enough to see it coming, we would probably know about it only a day ahead of time, similar to this meteor. In this case, the people of the world would not be notified and stirred up into a futile fury of panic; there would be nothing we could do about it at that point anyway. It would simply impact.

Rednecks for Obama
That's right. No, your eyes aren't playing tricks on you. Rednecks for Obama is a grassroots movement started by two self-labeled rednecks from Missouri in support of Barrack Obama for president. In learning about this group, I found out Barack Obama is black and that racism still exists in America! LOL But seriously, I just thought that this was awesome. And it was started by a couple of guys in Rolla, Missouri. (My uncle lived there his whole life. I've been there, and it's pretty redneck!)
Now, I don't identify as a redneck, maybe because I don't enjoy Nascar, cheap beer or putting vinegar or coleslaw on my barbecue. Yuck! But I have been called a "Southern boi" by some. And I have met my share of redneck gay boys, so all you Yankee bois best know that the two are not mutually exclusive. (Had better, even.)
So this is a great group, I think. It lets the rest of the rednecks in the many historically red Southern states know that you don't have to vote republican just because you're a conservative. You can vote for Obama this time around because it is what's best for our economy, our health care system, and for a timely and responsible withdrawal from our oil war with Iraq.
P.S. -- If you haven't registered to vote in your county of residence, the deadline for registration is October 10th, tomorrow! You must have your envelope containing your registration form post-marked by the 10th, so you have TONIGHT to get it ready and in the mail before the mailman picks it up in the morning. Go to VoteForChange.com to register to vote TONIGHT!

Finally!!
Oye, I hate working as much as I am now. It's like 50 hours a week, so don't beat me up if haven't been blogging lately. Oh, AND the cable company came out and fucked up our internet for a couple days. Go corporate giant dumbasses!
So, what have I missed?
Clay is GAY?? FINALLY!!! Good for you, Clay!
Queen Latifa is gay??? I didn't see that one coming, and I just found out.
Ricky Martin is -- Haha, gotcha! (Taking bets now.)
Gas Shortage in Charlotte! Oh Noes!!
Palin can see Russia from her house! LOL
Obama is "palling around with terrorists"?? LOL OMG Doesn't she think before those words fall out of her mouth?? She must think we're all ignorant on the subject and are too lazy to research it ourselves. I thought this argument was dead already. We've got an economic disaster on our hands, and McCain is avoiding it and dredging up this old crap instead.
Anyway, enough ranting. I have to get to bed. Laters!
