A Modest Business Proposal

CONFIDENTIAL/URGENT POLITICAL PROPOSAL

Dear Sir

First we must solicit your confidence in this issue. This is by virtue as being utterly confidential and "top secret".

We are SENATOR HILLARY CLINTON, the wife of the former United States head of state, PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON, and also SENATOR JOHN MCCAIN, friend and associate of current head of state PRESIDENT GEORGE W BUSH. We got your contact through business inquiries as we were searching for contacts of a citizen who can help save our and our family's political careers since our country has been frustrating us.

We are top officials of the United States Senate Government who are interested in importation of oil into our country with funds that are presently trapped in the FEDERAL TRANSPORTATION TRUST FUND dedicated to improving transportation. We wish to send this money to overseas accounts in the MIDDLE EAST but cannot due to restrictions in Congress Transportation Equity Act requiring that this money must be spent to build roads, bridges and high speed trains.

If you accept we will deliver to your a sum of 30 DOLLARS in the summer 2008 in form of a "GAS TAX HOLIDAY". You will then deliver this money to accounts of our friends in Middle East by taking it to your nearby gasoline station where they have information to forward the money. Please supply your bank account, social security number, address and your vote in DEMOCRATIC PRIMARIES AND NOVEMBER GENERAL ELECTION.

That? That's HILARIOUS (if you've ever gotten the email, you'll know why, but here's a better explanation.) More here.

How'd That Happen?

Back momentarily to bring you this moment of joy from New York City television news:



GLORIOUS. (via TNR)

See also: my dad's favorite newscaster/interviewer bring the pain to FOX & FRIENDS. Those are some seriously uncomfortable looks on the left side of the screen, but Wallace DOESN'T EVEN BLINK. That guy's awesome sometimes.

Changes!



Be patient with it at first -- it takes about a minute to ramp up, but it's totally worth it.

Dance Dance Bear



I was just going to let this clip from a student who was dissatisfied with the level of his animation instruction slide by the first time I saw it a couple of weeks ago, but Andy Baio linked to it again and I CAN'T STOP LAUGHING AT IT. Hit the link for the context and interview with the animator.

The Invisible Primary

I've cracked on Buckeye State Blog in the past, but they seem like they've stepped up their game in the last few months -- definitely leaning, but at least informatively leaning. And this roundup of Ohio Democratic "superdelegates" and their anticipated votes is some crackerjack work, frankly. Kudos.
