If you take a look over at our comics’ links, and I’m sure you check it obsessively, you’ll notice there’s a new addition. Daisy Owl, created by Ben Driscoll, is the heartwarming tale of Mr. Owl, his two adopted human children, and his friend Steve the Bear. I am a fan because Steve wears a tie, and I am a sucker for bears in ties, but others may appreciate the strange, random and wonderful sense of humor.
I’d like to share a couple of examples. The first is …

Even before the McCain campaign started talking about “postponing” the vice-presidential debates, some people have been wondering just when they could ask Gov. Palin a few questions.

You may recognize the anchor as the one who verbally smacked around poor Tucker Bounds when he was trying to argue that Sarah Palin was experienced.

I kind of want to marry her.

So, earlier today after we learned that John McCain was suspending his campaign and wanted to cancel the debate scheduled for Friday, my friend and I were talking and trying to figure out the strategy behind this absolutely ridiculous proposal. I jokingly suggested that perhaps McCain was only testing the waters here because what he really wanted to do was cancel the Sarah Palin/Joe Biden vice-presidential debates scheduled for next week. However, I should have known that satire and sarcasm have nothing on the McCain campaign.

As usual, Brandy beat me to it, but I couldn’t let this pass by without comment.
I swear to God, I thought this was an Onion article, but no, it’s the Wall Street Journal:
NEW YORK — Sen. John McCain said he will “suspend” his presidential campaign on Thursday and will return to Washington to focus on the unfolding economic crisis. In the meantime, he called for a delay in the presidential debate scheduled for Friday night in Mississippi.
t’s been “unfolding” for months, and now McCain wants credit for finally noticing that …

I’ve given up on writing a post every time something happens in regards to the economy. I’ll link to the latest that’s out there with the simple summary of “We’re in a handbasket, heading towards the Great Depression Part 2: The Revenge”.

If you’ve been scratching your head trying to figure out what comes next on your SuperNerd Mix Tape after the Large Hadron Rap, here’s a potential Track 2: 

Update: The rapper’s name is Jonathan Chase and he was comissioned by NASA to do the video. Someone feeling a little jealous of CERN?

DRM software like SecuROM is not new technology in the gaming world, having already appeared in games like Mass Effect and Bioshock. But Spore was apparently the straw that broke the camel’s back. A woman named Melissa Thomas has filed a class action lawsuit against EA for their inclusion of SecuROM without notifying the consumer that it is a seperate program from the game. 
“Although consumers are told that the game uses access control and copy protection technology, consumers are not told that this technology is actually an entirely separate, stand-alone program which …

So I leave for a month, and what do I come back to?
The Presidential candidates are calling each other incompetent child-molesting kitten-eating liars.
George Bush is giving massive piles of unmarked bills with no strings attached to people who have shown a marked incapacity to handle money, essentially the same thing as tossing a massive bag of meth into a rehab center.
Clay Aiken is gay.
In other words, in an entire month, not a single damn thing has changed. I’m not sure whether to be relieved or despondent.
But who’s the PTA member …
