Thanks For The $36.00, Asswipes

Yes, that's a blogad for Lions for Lambs in the sidebar.

Here's the deal: John Hawkins from Right Wing News was running something called a "Hive Blogad" a few months back, which featured links to various posts from conservative blogs, but there were some technical difficulties, so it was "deferred", which means the order for the ad sits in my little Blogads inbox, waiting to be reactivated. Whenever I log on to Blogads, I see "Conservative Hive Livelink".

This morning I got an e-mail from Blogads telling me a new ad had been submitted, I logged in, and approved the new version of the Hive ad - I thought. When I looked at the blog, these three bozos were staring at me from the sidebar:

AAAAAH!

I logged onto Blogads again, and sure enough, I had mistakenly approved an ad named "Conservative/Lions for Lambs". Apparently Redford and his buddies are looking to convert a few lizard-brained right-wingers with their "powerful anti-war message." Way to budget those advertising dollars, jagoffs.

Well, at least the movie's getting good reviews:

Watching some NFL football on Sunday, I saw the new TV ad for Lions for Lambs. The ad had quotes from favorable “reviews”. If you look at the fine print two of the positive “reviews” were from posts on Daily Kos.

Anyway, thanks for the $36.00, dickheads. I'll use it to pay my TypePad bill. Then we can publish more posts like these.

UPDATE: WTF? They took the ad down. Something I said?

UPDATE II: Hey, do I get to keep the $36.00?

UPDATE III: Looks like I don't get to keep the $36.00

Yahoo! Looks Like We're Retiring

I've just been informed by a high-level official at "Yahoo Lottery Incorperation UK and Ireland" (I guess that's the Irish spelling) that I've been selected from thousands of Yahoo! e-mail users to receive "a prize money of (Four Hunderd Thousands British Pounds Starling £400,000 GBP) of the year, 2007 Lottery-win promotion."

Seems this is a promotion that was started by the Yahoo! e-mail team to reward Yahoo! e-mail users.

Well, they got my attention, and now I'm a Yahoo! e-mail user for life. All I need to do to collect my "Four Hunderd Thousands British Pounds Starling" is reply to this e-mail address:

Try and stop me.

Or, We Could Just Paint a Giant Target On It

Ack:

New York's iconic Empire State Building is to be lit up green from Friday in honor of the Muslim holiday of Eid, the biggest festival in the Muslim calendar marking the end of Ramadan, officials said.

Word

OK, This Is Really Pissing Me Off

Seriously, it's just ridiculous.

UPDATE: Never mind - now that I look at it in the proper context, it makes sense.

UPDATE II: Turns out that wasn't the proper context, after all. Now I'm even more pissed off.

UPDATE III: I might have been a little hasty about that context. I guess I should look at it again.

UPDATE IV: Maybe I didn't put the context in the proper context. Is that even possible?

UPDATE V: Now I've lost track - would that mean I'm still pissed off, even more pissed off, or that it doesn't bother me any more?

UPDATE VI: Should I just forget about the context and put it into something else?

OK, Back To Posting

Welcome to Starbucks, can I help you?

 

 

Oh, yeah? Well, maybe you should...wait, you're not Harry Reid.

 

 

Yeah, I was expecting Tom Harkin.

 

 

What the hell's going on?

 

 

Welcome to Starbucks, I'm Chris Matthews.

I think John might be a little rusty.

 

 

Well, I'm out of here. See ya.

 

 

Later.

 

 

Did I just say welcome to Starbucks?
