Picked up Jaida’s book! Woo! If you’re in NY on the 16th, she and Dani have a signing in Brooklyn!

Where the Heck is Matt? A Global Dance. So ridiculously cool. I got a little teary-eyed.

Dr. Horrible Comic! Is it July 15th yet?

Tell me this ad wasn’t made by a John Hodgman fan. I dare you.

Lars Larson Rips Wall-E As ‘Propaganda’; It Teaches Kids ‘Humans Are Bad For Planet Earth’. Um… Mr. Larson? Humans are bad for Planet Earth. Though if you actually saw the film, you’d know the message was a warning against mindless consumerism and waste, complacency, and lack of awareness. All the human characters were well-meaning and recognized the vital importance of reclaiming the planet and restoring its vitality. A for effort, F for reading comprehension. And while I’m at it, another F for seeking to eliminate joy. This movie is incredible. I hope all you guys get to see it on the big screen.

Senators Craig and Vitter team up to co-sponsor Marriage Protection Amendment, which would amend the Constitution to declare that marriage “shall consist only of the union of a man and a woman. Un-freaking-believable. You know how you can defend the sanctity of marriage, Senators Craig and Vitter? Try NOT CHEATING ON YOUR WIFE AND HAVING SEX WITH PROSTITUTES/ANONYMOUS MEN IN AIRPORT RESTROOMS. Marriage doesn’t need protection from same-sex couples, Senators. It needs protection from you.

In the past couple weeks, I’ve become a follower of the Big Picture, a blog that describes itself as “News Stories in Photographs.” Some are inspiring, some are moving, some are devastating, and all are in breathtaking high-res. Check it out!

Schedule of TV-related Panels at San Diego Comic Con.

I already adored xkcd, but… God bless you for giving me the phrase “Barack Me Obamadeus!” I laughed for like thirty seconds straight.

New trailer for the Repo Man rock opera.

An utterly brilliant entrant in Colbert’s “Make McCain Exciting” challenge: Vogue.

*chortles* Terry McAuliffe is on the Daily Show. This is funnier than any Democratic primary parody I’ve ever seen. I’ll post a link when it goes up on thedailyshow.com tomorrow. XD

WTF, HILLARY.

You have lost. Endorse Obama and concede with dignity. You are a laughingstock.

You are such an amazing person. You have done so much for this country, and you will do so much more! Why are you cheapening yourself with this charade?

Edit: Mmm, there you are, Obama. Soothe my Hillary ire!

He and Michelle just exchanged a fist bump. I LOVE THEM SO MUCH BE MY FIRST FAMILY NOW PLZ.

Other stuff I hadn’t blogged about at the time I made the last “Stuff I Haven’t Blogged About” post:

More Stuff That Is Awesome:

  • Obama, Clinton, and Edwards on the Colbert Report! OMG ILU EDWARDS. Obama is my main man, but it was Edwards’ appearance that had me giggling like a moron at work. Well played, writers!

    Have I shared this image yet? Click for the full thing.

  • Detroit Octane endorses their favourite candidate

Comic Con post coming whenever I can find time to write it. Suffice it to say, it was OMGAWESOME.

Today, Obama gave an absolutely extraordinary speech on the subject of race in America, and you need to hear it. Or read it. Or have it downloaded to your brain like in The Matrix. And you need to do it now.

And what’s more? “This wasn’t a speech by committee. Obama wrote the speech himself, working on it for two days and nights…. and showed it to only a few of his top advisers.”

Without the merest whiff of my usual Obamania… This man needs to be our next President.

This just in! Gay people = toe cancer.

Also, gays are worse than terrorists and all of Islam is a threat to America and the Ancient Greek civilization only lasted a few decades. I know you were taught in schools that it lasted centuries, but that’s because our children are being indoctrinated, not educated.

Just so we’re clear on that.

Si se puede — a really beautiful video for Obama in Spanish

Viva Obama — a really hilarious Mariachi song for Obama in Spanish

And an excellent blog article: The Obama Doctrine

SNL Weekend Update: Huckabee’s Graceful Exit

SNL: Tina Fey On The Most Important Women’s News Issue. Awesome, but it would be more appreciated I didn’t of want to slap Hillary in the face right now. What are you DOING, Hillary? What happened to the woman we saw giving that wonderful final statement at the Texas debates? Remember how well that went over, and how all the pundits were asking why she didn’t show that side of her personality more often? Sure, it was almost word-for-word taken from Edwards’ concession speech, but I was willing to forgive. Who is this bitter, mocking creature you’re turning into? I understand you may be frustrated, but your snarky tirades are not presidential. Sheesh.

And finally, another Fry and Laurie video for people that don’t care about American politics (though it would actually make a delightful satire of the second Bush doctrine had it not been written in 1992): The Ass-Kickers Song.
