On...Quote of the Day
I was looking for the origin of the phrase "Clothes make the man" and stumbled upon this related quote by Mark Twain. I found it quite funny. (and curiously enough I've been rewatching Ken Burns' Mark Twain documentary this week.)
- Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society.

On...SNL takes a few shots at NY Gov. Paterson
SNL has stirred some controversy (translate as some people with no sense of humor have a problem with their disfunctioning humor gland) over their Weekend Update sketch which takes a few hard shots at current accidental-governor of New York David Paterson. Just in case you didn't know, he is legally blind.
Check it out for yourself below.

On...Becoming Canadian under President McCain
Slate.com has just posted this public service video commercial just encase McCain wins in November.
From...Joel Stein
Ah, the sweet relief of humor
Joel Stein used to write for Entertainment Weekly, but now writes for the LA Times. Most of his editorials are focused on serious issues, but laced with humor and satire. (He's friends with Simpson writers!) Generally good stuff. He tends to make a lot of folks mad, which is always a good sign in my book--stir up the masses. He always pledges never to read his reader's email rants. And I'm not really sure what his political allegiance is, which is a pretty good position for a man of humor. If I had to guess I would say a right-center Democrat or Independent. Hey, you can't live in LA and be a Republican and walk around.
His latest is a little memo to the undecided voter entitled
Still undecided? Then just don't vote.
Other past gems include:
How to make fun of Obama, among the tips are such nuggets: He's a nerd, He's manorexic, and, his name is weird. (From July)
What's so bad about foreign oil?
&
He's got Obamaphilia, his insight back in February about the Cult of Obama. This was the article that got my attention.

On...Weird Al
Didn't think I'd post on Weird Al ever, but Wired has pretty nice piece on his career and influence in musical satire. He does have a new album coming out soon. Can't wait. :)
Click HERE for the article and numerous YouTube clips of his career.
