Rex Kickass

Arrested Development is gold too. Too bad nobody watches that show either.

The fact that the oven mitt has actually been worn and used in commercials makes him so creepy. I don't care what kind of mascot I am, I don't want a hand up my ass and being shoved in an oven periodically. It just doesn't sound pleasant. If it was just one or the other, I probably could live with it though.

There is nothing neutral about a political organization.

From the head of the independent investigation on UN Oil for Food in an AP article on February 3, 2005. The UN does some great work. Believe it or not, aside from the corruption which should be eliminated and those involved, punished, it was an incredibly effective program.

And how many scandals are going on in our own government? You act like the Bush administration is as clean as the driven snow. If you wanna make arguments about being independent investigations on UN activities and not on the Bush administration, you'll conveniently forget that the GOP Congress hasn't allowed any to take place. The UN has. Apparently, one is more concerned with transparency and accountability than the other...

You act like the US did something about it when it was happening. I don't know if you understand this, but the US is actually a member of the UN. The US is the most powerful member of the UN, and as a permanent member of the Security Council, it can really undergo no action without the US' support. Yet there was no movement on behalf of the Bush administration to investigate and fix Oil for Food. Even after they were made aware of abuses in the system in 2001, 2002, and 2003. To take a look at 6.5 billion dollars worth of fraud (approximately 7% of the total money raised by Oil For Food) and have that completely invalidate a multinational organization that this government stopped respecting in 2001, is like saying that the election in Iraq is invalidated because the Coalition Provisional Authority can't account for over 8 billion dollars in Oil money raised in its 14 months of existence.

Actually abuses for Oil for Food were reported to the Security Council multiple times. The Security Council did nothing.

By the U.S. at rates below market value.

Outtasight!

I believe thats kitten drowner. Not puppy kicker.

Actually, the Oil For Food program was funded by the sale of Iraqi oil.

Worst Horror Movie = The Stuff. Chilling story about a mind controlling desert topping that was found spewing out of the ground in West Virginia. That or Death Spa.

The halftime show sucked too. U2 had the last decent one, which says a lot.

Yup, the same UN that reduced the malnutrition rate in Iraqi children by 50% and launched a national vaccination campaign with Oil for Food money.

Probably healthier than a "no liquids diet"

Its the iPod Shuffle I thought. And the Mac Mini. The Shuffle looks pretty rocking tho, gotta admit.

Feh. Republican beat down is only good when its of a decent quality. That show was just pained to watch. Capitol Critters Two. The other great part of the Simpsons was the Super Bowl XVI halftime show. "I now pronounce you Pac Man and Wife."

Anything or just booze?

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Feb 7, 2005 -> 12:15 AM) Life Acquatic was great. When I first saw it, it was alright. Then the more I thought about the lines the more I would laugh. Can't wait till it comes out and I can rent it cause I think its gonna be one of those movies that keeps getting funnier too. My favorite part about that movie is the guy singing nothing but David Bowie songs in Portugese.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Feb 7, 2005 -> 01:59 AM) Tonight's Simpsons episode was mediocre. Typical of recent episodes. Too many plugs of professional atheletes. Yao Ming's lines weren't funny, and neither were LaBron James. -Lebron accepts omlettes LEBRON: This is the happiest day of my life. LISA: Didn't you recently sign a 90 million dollar contract? LEBRON: That was a good day, too. No punch line. One of many weak lines during this week's episode. The Simpsons was fricking brilliant last night. "You try to raise your daughter a secular humanist and then Hollywood comes and shoving religion in our face.... 'Mommy, why wasn't I baptized?' See what they've done??"

Now I'm all about cutting fat from the federal budget, but the increase in cost to veterans for prescription drugs and instituting this new "usage fee" for many vets is a bit much for me. The Prescription Co-Pay in the President's new budget more than doubles from 7 to 15 dollars. Also many vets will be required to pay a 250 dollar usage fee under the adminstration's new plan. The costs may not be high yet for veterans, but the principle is the point here. Asking our men and women in the armed forces to sacrifice themselves on the battlefield, and then asking them to sacrifice again, when at home and receiving medical attention is just plain wrong. There has to be other ways of fixing the budget. Maybe we could axe the proposed Presidential Yacht? Here's the story: http://www.nytimes.com/2005/02/07/politics...artner=homepage

There was also that Sahara movie. I got pulled into a focus group for that trailer yesterday. I told them my impressions were that of a "Low rent Indiana Jones movie."

And this from the AFP, Europe's AP. http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/afp.../131180/1/.html

I thought he sounded more like Paul Lynde, which made him amusing for a few seconds.

TV's already off. It seems like, much like Family Guy, one character is really built from the mold of a "Wait til Your Father Gets Home" character.
