On Thursday, President Bush came to visit Philadelphia.  During his speech, he uttered yet another classic Bushism:

"I believe in that old Texas adage, if you don’t stand for something, you don’t believe in anything. (Applause.)"
— via

Immediately I shouted at the television: "It’s… ‘or you’ll fall for anything!‘"  George, it’s a uh… play on words.  "Stand"?  "Fall"?  Get it?

It’s simply amazing.  Not just that Bush mangles sooo many words and phrases (although try recording every word you say for two weeks and review how many times you slip up), but that his speechwriters let him do it!  Or does he ignore/ad lib so much that it almost doesn’t matter what’s on those teleprompters?

P.S. This still doesn’t measure up to the all-time Bushism…

That is what you will have to become to excel at Gravity Pods — an addictive game of physics.  Aim and shoot your cannon around walls, attractors and repellors to destroy the target.

I’ve made it up to Level 39 so far, which is a killer.

Yet another illustration of the complete and utter folly of the IMMINENT DANGER OF TERRORISM TO AMERICANS! (OMG!)

We’d have to have almost 1,000 more 9/11s to come close to just one of the real Big 3 Killers of Americans — Cancer, Smoking, and Heart Disease.

We have a fantastic tendency to put the magnifying glass on multiple deaths occurring simultaneously.  Sad?  Sure.  But it doesn’t make them any more statistically relevant.

In honor of that other pop culture phenomenon, here are 50 of Homer Simpson’s funniest quotes.

The list proves worthy of its salt by including one of the best:
"Beer: The cause of, and solution to, all of life’s problems."

OK, so I almost don’t want to do this… but part of me just can’t resist.

So there’s this über-popular book that’s out — I don’t even have to tell you its name.  And the ending is quite controversial, dividing people into many factions.

Well, I just happen to be privy to that ending.  I don’t want to give it away right here — you really should read it yourself — but if you’re curious, click here for the spoiler.

Don’t say you weren’t warned.

In all my days, I’ve only known two video games that most women are willing to play.  The Number 1, by far, is Ms. Pac-Man.

The panoramic views, coupled with the (surprisingly effective) background construction noise, makes it feel like you’re almost there.  Click the photo to launch.
