Sh*t that's happened since Ike

Hello all! Sorry for the near month absence! In case you weren't aware, a giant fucking hurricane hit my city of residence and, well, as much as I wanted to fly a crop duster straight into the bastard and blog from the eye of the storm, jet fuel's just too durn expensive these days.

So let's go over whats been going on since I've been out of commission. First off, Sarah Palin:



Since I've been gone, Sarah Palin has made an idiot out of herself - a cute idiot, but an idiot none the less. Watching her 'performance' at the Veep debate last week was like watching a small child hefted slowly into a wood chipper; Horrific, yet oddly satisfying to witness. You know, the sad thing is I generally liked Palin before she opened her big dumb hot mouth. I was content tuning out whatever hairbrained ultra-conservative anti-intellectual trash would stream out of my television in unbearable droves every morning and afternoon after a Palin interview, whereupon she would, night after night, spout out more hilarious soundbytes than a hilarious soundbyte generator. Damn you Sarah Palin, I was comfortable in just being sexist and voting you into office on your good looks and winks alone - but since last week's debate I've been faced with this unshakable feeling that maybe, just maybe, there's more to public officials than being bonable. I suppose I can reserve myself to merely viewing and enjoying the Sarah Palin themed porno coming out this year. I'll wager that would be considerably less dangerous.

The Presidential debate last night was, what with its lack of Palin hotness, tedious. Barack Obama was at his usual sartorial excellence, but failed to totally sway this blogger to his side - meanwhile John McCain wandered around the stage like Sgt. Waddles at an all-you-can-eat Vietnamese buffet.

and this:



Megan Fox has finally done a bikini shoot for GQ, to the joy of pervs and warm blooded men everywhere. It's difficult to shake off knowledge of Megan Fox's stupid (as demonstrated in this hilarious Jimmy Kimmel interview)but God help me if I don't do my best.

IN MUSIC:

Kayne West's new album is coming out next month, and it's entitled 808 and Heartbreak which is, uh, cool, I guess. If its first 'single' is indicative of the rest of the album's sound, it appears that Kanye has finally made a Boyz 2 Men record. Huzzah!

Also, purchase this:



It's funky fresh, with talking points scattered all across the 'good-influences-spectrum'. I saw these guys about a year ago, and they gave a pretty badass show. There's something here for everybody.

In more music news, I'm starting a new album review section of my blog. Look for that in a little while.

Cheers,
