The Good (inter-web links judged not by moral or righteous good, but by highest level of absurdity or artistic merit):

1)      The gorgeous irony of Palin pardoning turkeys in front of a turkey slaughter.

2)      This photo of Charlie Rangel as a sun-tanning walrus.

3)      Young swedish vampire love: Let The Right One In was a beautiful movie. A love story between two twelve-year-old's in the 70’s. One happens to be a vampire. No, it’s not like Twilight.

4)      I’m Gonna Kick Some Ass With My Own Pipe Wrench

5)      Rachel Maddow <3!!

6)      Somali pirate culture and their swinging luxurious lifestyle. Will somebody make a Somali-pirates-dancing-on-a-yacht video already?

7)      Jamie Livingston took a Polaroid every single day from March 1979 to Ocotober 25th, 1997, the day of his death. The website of a man who documented his own death deserves to be perused obsessively.

 8) And, of course, baby cheetahs.

The Bad:


1. The Media Holiday Party Recession--so the media industry is dying, but now we can't make out with coworkers and cry in the coat-check room? Is nothing sacred?

2. Bloomie Forces Third Term on NY: This could have easily been avoided with a referendum, but no.

3. Hillary as Secretary of State. I don’t know. We are slightly concerned. But I do enjoy the return of the headband look.

4. George Bush is nothing like the Dark Knight. I would know. I made a useless video about it.

5. "Bush 'very pleased' with Iraq war outcome " [Anguished yelp of rage].


The Ugly (Physically and otherwise)

1. Ashley Dupre. Maybe her trashy borderline learning disability shtick would fly if she were a fox, but she is not a fox. And no, I refuse to put an accent on the -e in her fake name.

2. See Charlie Rangel picture.

 
 

I know this is a terribly prickish thing to say, but for a moment let's toss that aside:

In commending this administration's policies, Attorney General Mukasey couldn’t utter the words “this country is safer as a result” without giving himself a stroke.
