This is about the best video/song/band I have heard all year. ME = FAN. Turkey..
I hope they will be the winners, but the live rehearsals I saw were pretty bad.
Sunstroke Project And Olia Tira
I dig electronic violins, but the song has so little originality, that it's pitiful.
Hera Björk
Not sure what the dead air is at the end of this, but this chick has some amazing pipes! Um, my Mom said If you don't have anything nice to say, say nothing, so I am done on this one.
Giorgos Alkaios And Friends
Not only is this the worst music video ever made, it is one of the worst songs I have ever heard. It is obviously the result of stress over the financial crisis in Greece...
Kuunkuiskaajat
Ok, this is not groundbreaking, but who the fuck doesn't love an ACCORDION!! And what are these chicks going to do with that horse???
Chanée And N'evergreen
Um, remind you of anything??? Very heavily produced, but I think that is what the judges want. The Denmark duo...
Feminnem
Interesting video, they really don't need 3 chicks though? I wonder why they used less than flattering lighting on the vid??

Pretty with pipes! Did Taylor Swift grab the idea of the downpour from her, or her from Taylor?

Want To See Taylor Swift??
Yeah, better cash out your 401K. $400 plus for floor seats. A bit fucking stupid??
Sestak Was Offered A Job
I love that this is considered fucking news?? This happens all the time in Washington. I think the bigger news was that Sestak turned down the offer and dissed Obama. You people know these offers are made ALL THE TIME BY EVERY ADMINISTRATION?? Right, it's no big deal, how do you think Mike Leavitt got the DHHS gig? They wanted to keep this ass off the streets..

German Banking Revenge, Or Thief FAIL?
They meant to blow a hole into the bank, or to just steal a cash machine. They blew up the whole bank.

Space Shuttle Atlantis, Done
Click to enlarge.After another safe landing today, NASA immediately started looking for a buyer for the now-retired spacecraft.
It has 120 Million miles on the odometer, so I think I might pass. What a great career! Thirty Two missions, almost 4500 earth orbits. Have a good rest my lady.

Twitter Business Plan
Eliza Dushku (Buffy/Dollhouse)is the first "victim" that I have seen of the new marketing strategy on Twitter.
Don't get celebrities to post Ads, put up a sidebar or something, we won't stand for it. I unfollowed her immediately. Facebook is on the verge of making the same choice, they seem to be thinking about it a little better though.

Jupiter Is A Ringer
Before
After
Yeah, it lost a ring. It's not a big deal, we have watched the rings of Jupiter change all the time. Like someone looking at the Earth might wonder what all that white is that appears in the North over winter, and the South in the summer.

Bye Bye Mark Souder
He's REALLY funny... http://souder.house.gov/pages/family-issues The text of is below:
"I believe that Congress must fight to uphold the traditional values that undergird the strength of our nation. The family plays a fundamental role in our society. Studies consistently demonstrate that it is best for a child to have a mother and father, and I am committed to preserving traditional marriage, the union of one man and one woman.
"The importance of Judeo-Christian values in America cannot be underestimated. Yet, in the public square, religion has been maligned by the courts to a point where children cannot pray in school and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit struck down the Pledge of Allegiance. I am committed to fighting the assault on American values.
"In October 2006, my subcommittee staff authored an important report called 'Abstinence and Its Critics' that, among other things, countered the Waxman Report touted by liberals."
Malawi Jails Men For Being Gay
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/world/africa/10121618.stm
According to the CIA World Factbook, they get a lot of money from the IMF, World Bank, HIPC (Heavily Indebted Poor Countries) and the MCC (Millennium Challenge Corporation). Hmm, guess who contributes to these funds? YOU DO!! Your taxes are being pumped into a country that treats people like this.
If you wonder who is behind this, it is a group of American Republicans called The Family. In other countries, they are pushing for a death sentence for gays.
Call your Congressman, if he/she is a Democrat.

Heinz Cuts Salt, People Are Bitter
If you look around the Net, you will see lots of similar stories, people afraid to have their food taste less salty. To them I will say, add your own salt if you really need it. Having a company as large as Heinz take the lead in this movement is fantastic.
I have had marginally high blood pressure (runs in the family) for a decade. It will probably kill me eventually.
As someone who wants LESS SALT, it is good to know that the market is working on that. It is almost impossible to find any low salt foods in the markets, and if I do, it disappears after a few months. I guess if you don't like it, grab your salt shaker and knock yourself out, literally.

I Am Sick Of The Oil Spill
I mean physically sick, I feel sick. Does anyone else feel this way? It's a poison that will seep into our economy for years (decades), and devastate the Gulf Coast at a minimum.
Now they are trying a catheter, gave up on the condom...Good luck with that.
The levels of incompetence by BP and their sub-contractors boggles my mind. And to go into a Congressional Hearing and not take the blame, should be grounds for shutting down EVERY OIL WELL THEY HAVE WITH A US LEASE.
It might get their attention. Apparently, destroying a big chunk of our economy doesn't.
The STANDUP Bill
http://www.govtrack.us/congress/billtext.xpd?bill=h111-1895
This takes $25M out of the transit fund (that the States get anyway) and allots it to States that enact certain restrictions on teen drivers. The biggest is an interim period up to age 18 where the driver can't drive at night and has to have at least one 21 year old in the car.
Since I know young kids; if they are going to drive like idiots to the point of terminating their lives, they will do it no matter who is in the car. Is having a 21 year old idiot in the car going to stop that? No.
I consider it thinning the herd, natural selection. Let the idiots die, though I do feel sorry for the innocents that die in the process. They should have never gotten in the car, they knew (or found out real fast and should have demanded to get out) how the person drives.

Lena Horne - Dead

Greece Gets 110Bn Euro Bailout
That's equal to $146 BN dollars here in the US. It's funny how the whole world, now seems happy to reward bad behaviour and bad management, at the highest levels. The more you screw up, the bigger the bailout. Pay attention kids, you need to hear this so you know what not to do when you get older.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/8656106.stm
How this is not like what the US did with Banks and Car makers is, these energy companies were NOT failing. They were also not companies owned within the Country. I can't see how anyone would want to invest in South America, when these counties do this crap, after they have all of the infrastructure put in place by forign investers.
