Joe the Plumber’s Fifteen Minutes of Fame

16 October 2008

During last night’s presidential campaign, Joe the Plumber, or Joe Wurzelbacher from Holland, Ohio, was mentioned more times than the war in Iraq. Why? What does a small town plumber have to do with the big time issues in this presidential campaign?

Mail Goggles: Possibly the Coolest Thing Ever

15 October 2008

If you don’t have a gmail account, it’s time to get one. Recently, google labs added an application to prevent you from sending emails you shouldn’t be sending (cough cough) drunk emailing (cough cough). When activated, mail goggles makes you do math in order to send an email from 10pm – 4am on weekends. The setting is customizable, so if you are a weekday drinker, a morning drinker, etc, you can tell it to quiz you whenever you feel you need it most. Also – the quizzes come in different levels of difficulty, so if you suck at math, don’t worry level 1 isn’t too hard. If you are good at math when you’re drunk, set it to level 5.

This makes me miss AOL’s unsend feature a whole lot less. Google rocks.

Biden Had Botox!

14 October 2008

The Washington Post reported yesterday that Joe Biden (D – VP Elect) is looking a little different… The lines on his forehead are less defined than they were last July.

“Barry Cohen, a Rockville plastic surgeon, is more blunt. “He clearly has had Botox,” the doctor, a Republican, told us. “The lines are gone on his forehead. There is no way makeup or surgery could do that.” Georgetown spa owner Erwin Gomez, who knows his way around some of D.C.’s most scrupulously groomed faces, agrees: “On the right and the left temple, you can see the lines, but he has no wrinkles in the forehead.” [Washington Post]

Damn! Even our politicians get Botox! What is this world coming to. That stuff doesn’t last long, so he’ll probably be lookin’ old by inauguration. Oh and P.S., notice the guy who said he clearly had the ‘Tox… Republican. Just putting that out there. You know, for your thoughts.

Foo Fighters Pissed At McCain

10 October 2008

Presidential Candidate John McCain has been using Foo Fighters’ “My Hero” to promote his campaign for the past few months allegedly without their permission. The band is pretty angry, declaring McCain “appropriated [the tune] without our knowledge and used [it] in a manner that perverts the original sentiment of the lyric [and] just tarnishes the song.” The band claim the song is a “celebration of the common man and his extraordinary potential.”

Foo are not the only band upset with the Republicans using their songs to promote themselves in a positive light. Jackson Browne filed suit against McCain for using his 1977 song “Running On Empty.” Heart also protested the use of their song “Barracuda” during a rally featuring Sarah Palin. [EFlux Media]

Basically everyone is just mad because they support Obama, and they don’t want the world to think they are Republicans. I think they should just ask for rights money and that should be the end of it. All of these bands have allowed their songs to be played in movies, on the radio constantly, and now suddenly they are upset because a Republican wants to use their song? Give me a break, babies. Go back to you’re hot tub filled with money.
