Iceland to declare bankruptcy

Saw this today:

I notice that Iceland is seizing control of the banks.

Considering that the US gov't, in the 700 billion dollar bailout, is taking over some aspects of financial institutions in America, I somewhat wonder if this is the beginning of an effort to nationalize world banks, and if so: is this good or bad. Thoughts?

Sarah Palin and God's Plan

According to this news source:

So ... God WANTS us to fight?

Among her quotes:


Uh-huh. Yeah. Sure.

And the fact that money is involved doesn't influence this at all ...



Our leaders are sending them out on a task that is from God? Oh, well ... I guess I can't argue with God, now can I? But ... I was kind of under the impression that our nation specifically does not take orders from God, but rather the people.



And the fact that as a citizen of Alaska she gets revenue from Alaskan oil has nothing to do with this ... it's all in the service of God ... uh-huh.



So ... uh ... God's master plan is to ... sell oil. Hmmmm. Never would have thought of that one. I had more the impression it was about ... oh, I don't know ... conquering evil or getting us to eat better or ... HECK, be nice to each other.

*******

I tell you ... I was on McCain's side until he chose Palin

The funniest comedians ever

I found this on youtube: Mintys Comedian of the Month. The host comes out with a beer. These guys are hilarious.

However: word of warning ...

Do not watch these comedians if you are easily offended.

They are graphic, they are explicit, they are foul, they are unbelievably hysterical. I highly recommend them to those who want a good laugh.

And to Viacom, who is trying to keep this guy from posting these videos: Dear Viacom, I would not have even heard about the tremendous talent of these men without these posts. Chill.

Enjoy

Signs of the Times

Just saw this: an airline in NZ is offering $1000 ($666 US) to people to get a temporary tattoo of information on their foreheads.

Is it a sign of the end? 666 and a mark on the forehead? What are the other signs that the horsemen may be abroad and that the end is upon us ... tongue in cheek naturally.

atomfilms is dead!

I just found out tonight that atomfilms sold out. The new owners, MTV and Comedy Central, have taken what used to be a brilliant site for enterprising young film-makers, and turned it into just another stooooooopid comedy video site.

I mean, my heart is broken! This site used to have sci-fi, horror, drama ... all kinds of short, independent films from young, undiscovered film-makers. It was great! And now it's dead. I can't believe it.

I mean, do we REALLY need another joke-video site? Atomfilms used to be SERIOUS, for REAL filmmakers. Not video: films. It was ART. Now it's just another pile of waste on the internet.
