Dear Family and Friends,

Did you see the news? President Bush let Scooter Libby, the one man who was convicted for the lies around the Iraq war, go free.

And the obstruction of justice doesn't stop there. The Senate recently subpoenaed documents from the Vice President's office around the illegal wiretapping program and so far he has not complied. It's clear this administration thinks it's above the law. That's un-American, and I think it's time for Congress to hold them accountable.

I just signed a petition urging Congress to force Vice President Cheney to respond to its subpoenas. If he doesn't, Congress has to begin impeachment proceedings against him. Can you join me by clicking the link below?

I admit I find the BK mascot the creepiest. To me, there's something perverse (not to mention cadaver-like) about his big, royal plastic presence.

Here's some background as to how he came about:

The idea for the over-sized plastic head on the Burger King character was inspired by a plastic fixture (23" tall with a diameter of 14") created to sit atop a tank of helium, the type used to fill party balloons. The mouth on the king's head had a small hole to inflate the balloons. The unit looked like a large Pez dispenser. Apparently, one day, an ad exec for the campaign saw one of these old plastic heads while browsing "Ebay" and incorporated the fixture idea into the latest Burger King campaign - after a few changes made by a Hollywood special effects expert.

yeah i found out yesterday he was in it...dude look JT in hairspray

i just hope he doesnt get all 'comfie' in that suit so we dont have another eddie murphy on our hands.

do you think its possible that eddie murphy has some sort of mental response to wearing that suit...and thats why he loves it so much now? i mean... a dependent response. it kinda reminds mee of 'stuffies'.

Submitted by painkillerthepigeon on July 4, 2007 - 5:13pm.

"Stuffies"?
Is that like "furries" but with prosthetic fat suits?
Ew.
Eddie Murphy has problems. Can't believe he was nominated for a freaking OSCAR this year (not that they mean anything, really), and almost immediately after that, Norbit came out. Nice career move. That's almost on par with Halle Berry following up Monster's Ball with Catwoman. Good thinking (no).

That's ridiculous. No one except people at the grocery store and Baskin-Robbins should have to work on the 4th! Although, if you weren't streaming my KCRW, how could I listen to Claude Broedesser-Akner?
I don't think Dick Cheney's going to help you, though. You'd say "unpatriotic" and he'd say "I'll be right there" and then you'd say "public radio" and he'd say "click! brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr". Heehee.
Were they actually playing that song at your work?! I think you should have "I'm Afraid Of Americans" by David Bowie...that's MY patriotism ;)

And I'm glad I don't, given the voting. Then again - perhaps I've seen him - is he like the creepy prince in Shrek?

The thought of disposable diapers in the landfill isn't as disturbing as the thought of them being recycled into everyday paper products.

to me is that we should be reminded of such distrubing things on a Saturday night and asked to make choice between them.
