Republican Party fuck ups are raining upon us like sweet LOLs from the sky are they not? Here are two instances where, clearly, permission should have been sought for the Republican fail train to use a) Heart’s “Barracuda”, and b) an image of Walter Reed Middle School in North Hollywood.
Sarah Palin’s views and values in NO WAY represent us as American women. We ask that our song ‘Barracuda’ no longer be used to promote her image. The song ‘Barracuda’ was written in the late ’70s as a scathing rant against the soulless, corporate nature of the music business, particularly for women. (The ‘barracuda’ represented the business.) While Heart did not and would not authorize the use of their song at the RNC, there’s irony in Republican strategists’ choice to make use of it there.
Nancy Wilson, Heart
ps. The McCain/Palin campaign is still using Barracuda in spite of the Wilson sisters’ cease and desist letter.
It has been brought to the school’s attention that a picture of the front of our school, Walter Reed Middle School, was used as a backdrop at the Republican National Convention. Permission to use the front of our school for the Republican National Convention was NOT given by our school nor is the use of our school’s picture an endorsement of any political party or view.
A: When it is ajar. Or, when it is a thigh-slapping gag:
Indizi dell’avvenuta catastrofe, we salute your hand-towel-enabled hilarity.
Sometimes, people go and restore your faith in human(insan)ity.
“(Middletown, OH) — Saturday night, people in the 3100 block of Wilbraham Road called police to report a woman wearing a cow costume was chasing kids, and blocking traffic. Michele Allen also allegedly urinated on the porch of one neighbor. When officers arrived, they told her to go home. But later that night, they found her again, in the 2400 block of Verity, standing in traffic. She was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct. Allen plead guilty, Monday morning, in Middletown Municipal Court, and sentenced to a month in jail. 32-year-old reportedly shows up for sentencing still wearing the costume.”
The best part? She wore the cow costume to the sentencing.
Imagine you once had an amazing love affair with this person, and then it fizzled. You gave up and slowly started to pull away when things began going stale. There were weeks, maybe even months, when you’d see them daily, then weekly, just in case things were as good as they once were. Inevitably, you left your coffee dates disappointed. You wondered where it all went wrong; you retraced your steps to see if you could pinpoint when things started to become dilluted. You mourned the past, and pondered a future without them.
Then, one day, they booty-called you, and you had the best sex of your life.
This is that booty call:
Faildogs, it’s like we’ve never been apart.
We have no idea why this exists or what is it for. Still, clearly it is AWESOME.
Interesting and certainly worthy of the 3 minutes I spent on it is a new NSW Government website feature (WHAT? I KNOW!) which shows you in instant blossoming graphical form where names peaked and bottomed out in popularity over the last 100 years. Kind of makes you feel bad for the Irenes and the Ivys, and a bit shirty with the parents of the Jaydens and the Jorjas.
Even at the tender age of five, Robert Downey Jr. was posing life’s essential questions.
From his dad’s 1970 movie, Pound. In which he played ‘Puppy’. That’s a lazy copy editor’s free ticket, that is.
