READ THIS: Hugh Hewitt’s interview with Sarah Palin.   Goodbye Sarah Palin of the disastrous Katie Couric interview and hello Sarah Palin who I wanted to be best friends with in the first place. WATCH THIS:

Infomercial schadenfreude!

Can I get an “Amen” from the teenagers?

So this movie, Sunday School Musical is coming out and Popwrap very nicely offers an early review calling it a poor man’s Sister Act 2. I’ve praised Sister Act 2 here before, but I had to take this opportunity to show you all the grand finale again. SO GOOD!!!

Web 2.losers and Dating

Unterekless: i’m such a web 2.loser Alan: HA HA HA HA Alan: it’s cute Alan: besides, i’m sure you don’t get an average of 350 twitter updates a day on your iphone, incessantly checking it instead of chatting with your date Alan: i’ve been on a date with someone who in fact, DOES do this [...]

“In fact, I once had a romantic rendez-vous with your biological mother…”

So this is pretty much the best thing ever… freestyle rap battle translated as a high school debate. (Via joshlos)

Don’t watch while you’re eating

UPDATE: SOMEONE PULLED THE VIDEO DOWN! I made the mistake of clicking on this link on Drudge while I was enjoying my Ted’s Montana Grill chicken fingers (Lydia’s such an enabler…) Honestly one of the creepiest things I’ve seen.

The Daily Show proves, once again, that the best comedy is reality

Senior citizens in Florida discuss the election, the debate, and Michelle Obama’s tuchus. AMAZING.

Apparently the Japanese fountain of youth is an ACE bandage

These facebelts tighten and even out parts of your face that are uneven.  I feel like this would make an amazingly incredible infomercial. (Via Gizmodo)

Mini round-up of comments on the bailout

Two things that I thought were worth sharing (and I promise the last things I will post on the bailout today): Cato’s blog had a great post explaining that “intervention is not the answer.”  Since it was so short and sweet, here’s the whole thing: The current turmoil in financial markets is the result of [...]

Michael Johns has got the blues

I totally forgot how talented he was!  I actually really enjoy the vibe of this song… but it’s a little self-indulgent as Simon Cowell would say: Album to come out in February 2009

Pelosi proves to be a really great uniter before the vote

Not debating or discussing anything she says, but in what world did she possibly think this would get everyone eager to vote.  Partisan speech aside, repeating “$700 Billion” over and over in a scary voice couldn’t have helped. And a reminder that it wasn’t just Republicans who voted against it, Pelosi couldn’t even get her [...]

Worst Family Feud Answers Ever

I find Family Feud to be the most infuriating show on television.  I don’t watch it anymore, but whenever I was home sick I always would and, inevitably, would yell at the television. With Jeopardy, I expect to not know everything.  With Family Feud, I have to channel whatever 100 idiots they asked in the [...]

Looks like I have some company

I saw the picture first and immediately thought the same thing…

OG’s staying in NYC

Since Jerry Manuel is probably staying in New York next year, here’s the Official Unterekless Jerry Manuel tribute:

Not kidding, I really want one of these

So I may just like putting sea animals on my head: But I seriously want a squid hat: You can buy one for me here. I like the pale colors better, but red or blue might be better for my skin tone… (Via neatorama)

Go Rays!

The regular season is over (although it has been for me for a little while now…)  Anyway, I will be rooting for the Rays and Phillies and this post-season. Or, rooting AGAINST the Red Sox and the Cubs.
