Paris Hilton’s new video is brilliant. Ok, maybe that’s a bit of an overstatment, maybe not, but it is awesome. If you haven’t been following politics recently, McCain put out an ad last week bashing Obama and compares him to Britney Spears and Paris Hilton. Note: the Hiltons donated the maximum allowed contribution to McCain’s [...]

I Need a Brand-Aid
Posted in Helpful Stuff, News, Politics on July 10, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
So. A rather depressing realization just struck me. Our political process here in the states has become, LOL like totally, dominated by brands. Brands are simply, specifically a means of you telling me what you mean for me to see. Basically. That is to say, a brand is the personal feeling–emotional aftertaste, as Ze Frank [...]

What the FUCK Obama!? As John said, yesterday July 9, 2008, the Senate (the House has passed it as well) passed H.R. 6304, the telecom immunity bill. Under Title II, Section 802, the bill states that: “[...] a civil action may not lie or be maintained in a Federal or State court against any person [...]
