Thus was Justin Timberlake’s supporting cast on Saturday Night Live just now, where they can still surprise. It was a kick, but a lot of them looked old, really really old.
(I’m climbing into bed now and biting my knuckles to stop the screaming.)

UPDATE ANDD YIKES!!! – AS OF NOVEMBER 23: Yikes, the vid I posted here was a prez debate vid, I’ve tried to get it back up but it keeps reverting to this Twilight thingee. I’m helpless in the face of youtube’s secret army of confuserers.
MOE’S ORIGINAL OCTOBER POST: BadLipReading videos are a genuinely original form. No one else has ever done anything like what they do. This may be their best.

On last night’s post-debate show, Stewart ran video of a very distraught Chris Matthews, whose voice got louder with each utterance, whose face got a little redder with each utterance, who nearly cried out to the gods, as an illustration of how bad was Obama’s debate performance. To wit:
STEWART: Mr. President, you broke Chris Matthews!

Remember Glenn Beck, the batshit crazy one who was a bit too much even for FOX? The one who found Communist-conspiracies hidden in the 1930 bas-relief sculptures of Rockefeller Center? The guy with the blackboard? The one oddly obsessed with Hitler?
He’s on his own these days, has been for a while. He now has an online “TV show” and his webzine The Blaze, always good for a little recreational surfing. There’s an article there today that has the right-wing noise machine all a-twitter.
The article is written by a guy who says he was at Columbia with Obama and also says Obama wasn’t really there. Let me repeat: he says he was somewhere with someone who wasn’t there. Or, Obama was there but no one saw him. Or Obama got terrible grades but he wasn’t there. Or, he was a foreign exchange student and also he wasn’t there. And his evidence is, well, here it is:
I smell something rotten in Denmark. Obama has a big skeleton in his closet. It’s his college records. Call it “gut instinct” but my gut is almost always right.
Reading it all will waste your time, but if you’re sufficiently masochistic, it’s here. Being at The Blaze put me in mind of Lewis Black’s classic take down of Glenn Beck. Pure comedy genius. And this one is worth your time.

Reminds me of when one of my brothers proclaimed he was moving to Ireland during Clinton Administration to escape the awful tax burden here and all teh socialism. But then he found out, you know . . .
Now this – lots and lots of this. Bye-bye.

How do I explain to other adults of my certain age that I am dyyying to see this movie?
So, I’m emptying the dishwasher, headphones on, listening to Colbert from last night. His guest is the actress Diane Keaton who apparently thought she was being funny. She wasn’t; major fail.
She was so weird she even threw Colbert a few times. I have never seen that happen before.
Just picked this up at Under The Mountain Bunker, a new favorite stop on the regular blogtour.
Girls, it does not get better than this. Where has Ann Friedman been all my life???? Brilliant. She calls this “International Slutty Women’s Day: A Story in GIF’s” and if you don’t go there and see the entire thing, I’ll never talk to you again.

Any comedian knows that the more they repeat the very same ‘joke’ to the same audience, over and over, the funnier it gets. (from Think Progress)

Maru is back in tip top form which I define as making me laugh out loud (at 1:01). And does Maru not live in the freaking cleanest house you’ve ever seen? I think those trash cans have been polished.
We’ve got trouble folks. We’ve got trouble – right here in River City. Trouble with a capital “T” and that rhymes with “P” and that stands for . . .
Herewith some serious fine journalism from CNS News, a rather interesting ‘news’ outlet, owned by the Media Research Center, a non-profit dedicated to proving there’s a librul media. Got that?

If seeking medical help for hallucinations or delusions, I think this is exactly what I’d want to see. Exactly.
In Oklahoma, Constance Johnson attached an “every sperm is sacred” amendment to the GOP’s Personhood bill. The amendment would have construed any action in which a man ejaculates or otherwise deposits semen anywhere but in a woman’s vagina as an action against an unborn child.

Ed sent this:
Several Girl Scout troops in Chantilly, Va., have been banned from meeting at a local Catholic church and a neighboring school.
St. Timothy Catholic Church said that scouts won’t be allowed to meet or wear their uniforms on church property. The edict also applies to the adjacent St. Timothy School, which enrolls students from preschool to eighth grade.
According to the Arlington Diocese, the pastor did not believe the National Girl Scouts membership to the World Association of Girl Guides & Girl Scouts aligned with the message of the church, stemming from a perceived connection between WAGGGS and Planned Parenthood.
Happily, I think we’ll see a steady stream of comic relief. Susie sent this:
A group of female Democratic legislators in the Georgia House of Representatives has proposed a bill that would ban men from seeking vasectomies.
“Thousands of children are deprived of birth in this state every year because of the lack of state regulation over vasectomies,” said bill author Yasmin Neal in a statement
What are all these men afraid of? Giggle, giggle.
Only The Onion.
Not intended I’m sure, but damn they went and made the man appealing.

I think the recent Catholic objection to paying for contraception was not without merit on First Amendment grounds. But that’s the constitutional part. I am otherwise delighted to join in the mockery, so richly deserved.
This Monty Python classic has been getting a bit of play around the interwebs today. (Should I email it to the local archbishop I wonder? It might be okay cuz it’s not about lady parts.)

Rememeber when?
Watch it – you know you want to! Maru is one determined cat, who lives in so clean and uncluttered a house that it makes me wonder if he is really a visitor from the future – where they’ve somehow conquered dust and dirt and grease?
(I should really get off my current obsession with Gingrich, but dear Elvis, there’s just so much out there!)
Ever seen that eternal TV sitcom The Office? Of course you have. And you are therefore familiar with the loathsome character Dwight Schrute, played by the definitely not loathsome Rainn Wilson, who tweets.
Here are his most recent gravatars on Twitter. Do you see it? Do you see it?

He does a damn good Bowie. Here is “Tim Tebow to Jesus Christ”
Take some comfort in this: no matter the political and geo-political upheavals in our world, some things remain unchanged. S0me things are forever.
The classic – on SNL: he did this every year for many years. Sadly, this one isn’t the best version, but hey, can’t let the season go by without it.
Thanks to aFrankAngle for this gem. He dropped it in comments on the last post.
