Constant Readers,
Everyone is dying. Go get a check-up.
Let's start with a few unconventional tributes, shall we?
My stage name is Ed McMuffin (long story) so Ed McMahon's will go first...
Here's a seriously whacked-out Farah tribute. People be crazy.
I'm sure that, of all the gestures of love and support that are making Michael Jackson smile in heaven right now, none is more wonderful to him than this - a New Kids On The Block tribute performed at a concert in Detroit.
While we're thinking about music...this new Lily Allen song is called "Fuck You Very Much" and it's obviously not safe for work. But it could be San Francisco's theme song.
When trolling in the music section of YouTube, I found this video by Depeche Mode (who knew?) for a song called "Peace." The vid follows a female soldier who has just been discharged from the military. Powerful stuff.
On to the funny...this kid looks more like Alf than Rick Sanchez, and yet his impression is just wonderful! Excellent video...
The Louisiana legislature decided to honor a local rapper named "Hurricane Chris" (so, there's that) who has a popular song out called "Halle Berry." (Walter still rules, though.) They let him perform the song on the floor of the esteemed assembly floor. Ridiculous as this is - remember that at least Louisiana isn't about to have to pay it's bills with I.O.U.s. Thanks to Brit and Alex for sending me this!
Watch Jon Stewart respond to the White House's assertion that taped interviews with Dick Cheney should be kept confidential because future V.P.s might be reluctant to be interviewed if they think the info will get out and used for fodder on The Daily Show.

Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Crazytown) explains why the census is just a way for the Obama administration to collect information to be used later to round people up and put them in internment camps.
This is a tape of a gay exorcism. I don't know what to say, except: see Lily Allen video.
If you want to see more of the weirdness, go here for a longer version.
This video is of three commercials for magic sex dust, or something. In the first video, wearing pigtails, is the younger sister of one of my best friends. I've known her since she was 12. Hehe! Go Brooke!!

And finally, here's a video about a cat named Winston. Winston is basically the cat version of me. Except that he is adorable.
Have a great weekend, y'all!

New Kids on the Block (let's rock) sang that exact version at their 1989 concert, the only reason I would ever willingly go to Oakland. I shit myself with tears then as I do tonight. What talent! Also, I promise you they formed a huddle backstage immediately before the Michael Jackson tribute and said a solemn prayer. I'm positive of this. I know those five better than I know myself.
Elsbernd knows what I'm talkin' about...

Mel:
This Bachmann lady is pretty hot. Hot enough that it really doesn't matter what she thinks or says. It is the same with jocks and hunks. I do have to concede though that she has crazy eyes. When you look at the video you can not help but focus on her eyes and she has sort of a "bird over the cuckoo nest" look.
Maybe I am just getting old and can not see the difference between nasty and naughty looks.
Something there is not quite kosher though.
