news reporting isn’t easy

hi-fives all around for this stunning news report that serves as an example of courage & excellence in journalism. okay, i’m lying about that. but since all galactic failures serve some purpose, my guess is that the next time a bug flies into your mouth while you are trying to do a news report, maybe you should just eat the bug, no? i’ll let you decide (PS - turn up the volume so your co-wrokers can hear all the swearing and ghetto-ness). oh, and while we are talking about celebrating news reporters, lest we forget the mighty cocaine weatherman? i think not.

R.I.P. Harvey Korman

though it’s been several days since his death, i wanted to give a post saying farewell to the very very funny harvey korman who died on may 29th, 2008. thank you mr. korman for your work and for continuing to make me laugh and laugh! yes, there was the very funny carol burnett show and numerous other characters that you played so well (well, except maybe the cooking show host on the star wars christmas special). but for me nothing compares to the insanity of Hedly Lamar from Blazing Saddles! so good! also, there’s a great & in depth interview with harvey korman on youtube (in 3 parts). you will be missed, mr. korman! rest in peace!

praise for dennis kucinich

dennis kucinich giantmonster would like to thank ohio congressman dennis kucinich for his bravery in doing something that should have been done a long time ago: introduce articles of impeachment for george w. bush. 35 articles no less (you may read the summary of the 35 articles after the jump or you can download a PDF file detailing the 35 articles). thank you mr. kucinich! this was done on june 10th, but has been scarcely covered in the media. and quite sadly, nancy pelosi has been very actively blocking any moves for impeachment - including threatening “the removal of Michigan Rep. John Conyers from his chairmanship of the House judiciary committee if an impeachment inquiry were even opened.” oh Mrs. Pelosi (and you too Harry Reid), it is clearly time for you to go. though this resolution has been table for review within committee (meaning it’s effectively dead) Kucinich has vowed to bring his resolution back in 30 days if the Judiciary Committee, to which it was referred Wednesday, doesn’t act on it. right on!

when there was time to blog …

if i were to order a personalized license plate right now, i believe it would read ‘2BSY2BLG‘ which reads ‘Too Busy to Blog.’ granted, 2BSY2BLG is over the allotted characters for a california state license plate, but you get my drift. many apologies for the infrequency of posts & as always many many thanks for your post comments (& please keep leaving them - i find them encouraging and yes, even soothing - almost like aromatherapy). but my schedule is still jam-packed, but at least not for the next 2 hours.

as a way of saying ‘oops, my bad’ for my lack of posts, please accept the very blatant bribe in the form of free music below. & you are welcome!
