When I found out Ali G's(Sacha Baron Cohen) Borat character was going to be made into a feature film, I assumed it would turn out like the many other(mostly unsuccessful) sketches-turned-movies(Superstar, Ladies Man, A Night at the Roxbury, etc.); desperately trying to stretch a idea that works best in 4 minute increments across two hours. Fortunately, the Borat movie doesn't appear to do that. It merely supersizes the concept of the hilarious in character interviews with average people, and turns it into a tour of America, where he gleefully smashes moral taboos along the way and generally horrifies his unsuspecting subjects.

About the only other person who could look this natural yelling misogynistic and rascist remarks while behaving this strangely is Mel Gibson. Maybe Cohen will win an Oscar.

Mr. Britney Spears apparently is happy that he's knocked up the pop tart again because, it means more money for him, so sayeth MSNBC.

“Before he got married, Kevin was sitting down with lawyers, discussing legal and financial issues. He was sitting sort of slumped over with a baseball cap over his eyes and a lawyer was talking about how he had to sign a pre-nup and Kevin looked sort of bummed out. But then the lawyer explained that for every child the two of you have together, you would receive X amount of dollars. His eyes really lit up.”

Now I don't doubt that K-Fed would love the idea of fathering kids for money(with his fourth on the way, it appears fathering kids is what he does best anyway). I have my doubts that it was any kind of premeditated plan on his part, though. He doesn't appear bright enough to make a cup of coffee, let alone come up with a scheme to circumvent court documents for riches. It appears that he just lucked out and happened to fall into coitus with a walking redneck ATM. POPOZAO!

about the Bush Administration. In a word, they're crap. If only we could get this kind of candor from American pols. Ah, how I long for the halcyon days of yore, when we had men of stature who were actually respected as world leaders. And America's reputation in the world was as a beacon of freedom, I hope I get to see it again.

I suppose it was only a matter of time before someone remixed Wilford Brimley's gross mispronunciation of the word "diabetes" into a techno song. Enjoy.



Go Betis!

the sweetest headstone ever would belong to Rick James.

It's Rick James ditch! If you will.

RIP oh, Superfreaky one.

Scientist's in Russia are seeking to recreate woolly mammoth's using frozen mammoth semen found in Siberia's permafrost. Now I know that there isn't much to do in Siberia, but damn, frozen mammoth sperm? These scientists need a new hobby.


We can rebuild him, we have the technology... and the mammoth spunk.

The Wizard is going to be a father. Yes, I have finally let someone behind the giant curtain, and the end result was surprising. Kelli(or She-Wiz) is 11 weeks pregnant and had her first ultrasound yesterday. Though this is my first foray into expanding the circle of life(call me Mufasa), I'm confident that I'm up to the challenge.

I first found out about a month ago, when K returned from a doctor's appointment with some big news:

Me-How'd your Doctor's appointment go?
She-(voice quivering) Fine
Me-Are you ok?
She-(more quivering)Yes.
Me-You're not pregnant, are you?
She-(plaintive sigh)Yes, I am.
Me- We're not in Kansas anymore.

Ok, maybe it wasn't exactly like that but close enough. Anyway, it's some exciting news and I wanted to share it with you all. I can only hope that raising the child will be as fun as making it was.(I know, fat chance of that) I want you to know that fatherhood will not change me at all(unless it's a girl, and then all adolescent males will become the enemy). I will keep you updated on all the most recent developments in the creation of Boz 2.0. The expected release date is March 1, 2007. :)

A recent Newsweek poll shows that 53% of Americans hope the Democrats take control of Congress this fall(good for you America). Even more damning is that 9% of self described Republicans held this view. Bush, riding a recent approval surge up to a whopping 37(in a row)%,is going to be a huge factor in this election. 62% of those polled stated that their impression of Bush was important to how they voted for Congress(35% said very important, 27% said somewhat important). As it stands now, terrorism is the only issue on which the GOP polls better than the Dems and that is just 5 point edge(44 to 39). By comparison the GOP held a 23 point edge in that category before the 2002 mid term elections. Fully 62 percent of Americans disapprove of the president's handling of the situation in Iraq—including 24 percent of Republicans; 59 percent disapprove of his handling of the economy, including 20 percent of Republicans. On every issue other than terrorism and homeland security, the Dems win. Americans trust them to do a better job than the Republicans handling:

The situation in Iraq: 45 to 39(Thought it would be higher)
The economy: 53 to 34(duh)
Health care: 56 to 26('pubs don't do health care)
Gas and oil prices: 52 to 25(this could be significant)
Stem-cell research: 52 to 29(yeah, that veto was a REAL good idea)
Federal spending and the deficit: 53 to 29(double duh)

I refuse to believe that even the Dems can screw up these numbers. If the Dems don't take back Congress this year and the difference is districts using Diebold machines, I will be screaming FRAUD, loud and proud.
