Weekend Roundup

Today’s Weirdness best enjoyed to:

Buckethead’s “Enter the Chicken” from Serjical Strike Records http://www.serjicalstrike.com/site/artists_view.php?id=4

To think about… the first American bailout. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plymouth_Colony Treat the natives like crap, have a HORRIBLE winter, let them help you survive, learn to live on the land, etc. Then slaughter them, oppress them, lie to them, make them walk to Oklahoma, take Oklahoma away from them, and make them live in the most desolate areas of Arizona that you can find. If this is the precedent we set, what part of New Mexico can we send Bank of America, AIG, and Citigroup to? And seriously, whoever decided “You know what, on second thought, we really want Oklahoma for ourselves, go kick them feather loving Indians out” really had probably never visited Oklahoma. I mean really, it’s next to Texas. Ew!

The World According to Fark

Headline says it all… “Tenenbaum file-swapping case gets seriously funky”: http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2009/02/while-the-bizarre-antics-and.ars

One word, “DUH!” Conservatives buy as much or more pr0n that the rest of the US? I’m shocked, I tell you, shocked. http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn16680-porn-in-the-usa-conservatives-are-biggest-consumers.html?DCMP=OTC-rss&nsref=online-news

I didn’t know that video games came with the opportunity to torture prisoners of war or commit genocide. I guess I’ve been playing the wrong kind of games…. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/29417231/

Um… yeah. http://www.cracked.com/article_17097_5-most-unintentionally-gay-horror-movies.html

Don’t fuck with my asparagus, man. http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20090227/od_nm/us_asparagus_un_odd

In Other News

Why this whole economic mess isn’t just criminal, it’s also really dumb. Besides, I love the idea of fiscal lithium: http://www.newsweek.com/id/186949

Step One in reforming health care in America… Banning those annoying pharmaceutical ads. Why they contribute to the rising cost of YOUR medical insurance. http://www.thebigmoney.com/articles/judgments/2009/02/26/sally-field-stole-my-health-insurance?page=full

The European Union… somehow, Eddie, I don’t think just moving it around is going to solve this one: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/02/27/AR2009022703659.html

Yeah, so that whole Rick Santelli Rant… turns out to have been a right wing conspiracy. Or something. http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2009/2/28/202318/053/640/703118
