Electronic light boards featuring an adult-cartoon character triggered bomb scares around Boston on Wednesday, spurring authorities to close two bridges and a stretch of the Charles River before determining the devices were harmless.
Turner Broadcasting Co., the parent company of CNN, said the devices contained harmless magnetic lights aimed at promoting the Adult Swim network's late-night cartoon "Aqua Teen Hunger Force." Law enforcement sources said the devices displayed one of the Mooninites, outer-space delinquents who appear frequently on the show, greeting visitors with a raised middle finger.
Chug your beer or down your wine or do two shots when:
Audible "fuck you!" from House side. Fox cuts to Harry Reid playing pocket pool.
Normally I would watch so I can have a laugh, but the Suns are playing the Wizards tonight, and that game will be far more entertaining.
Edit: It appears that MSNBC is going to re-air the State of the Union address throughout the night, so if you are like me and have something better to watch, or if you just want to play the drinking game over and over again and never wake up again, you can tune in there.
Last night, Stephen Colbert and Bill O'Reilly appeared on each others shows.
Stephen Colbert on The O'Reilly Factor:
Bill O'Reilly on the Colbert Report:
Stephen Colbert sure does do a great job of staying in character. And Bill O'Reilly is not very funny. But we knew that. I'll give him credit though for playing along.
Now here is an interesting video. A band called No More Kings has done a tribute to Karate Kid called "Sweep the Leg". For the music video, they got the cast of the Karate Kid, including Ralph Macchio and William Zabka (no Pat Morita, of course, RIP). Plus Mr. Belding from Saved by the Bell for really no fucking reason. Not that you need a reason for our favorite principal.
I've got CSPAN on right now, and for the first time in a very long time, it's not depressing and frustrating to watch. A Democratic Senate has just been sworn in. A Democratic house has been sworn in. After receiving a huge standing ovation, and then a long roll call vote, Nancy Pelosi has just been sworn in as Speaker of the House. Now we can begin some real progress.
Today is the day where the new congresspeople bring all of their families to the chamber. After the roll call vote, they showed a row of kids, and there was a little girl who had her leg up on a seat. Well, the little boy next to her didn't like that, and repeatedly shoved her leg to get her to move. It was cute and funny.
The children are now being invited up to touch the Speaker of the House's gavel. It's nice to be able to write that with no double meaning.
Before the session started, they showed Harry Mitchell. He was looking around the chamber with this huge grin on his face. Congrats, Harry, you deserve it.
Today is a very good day.
PS: Dick Cheney is apparently still alive. Who would have guessed?
We are apparently going to die this year. But don't worry, Jesus will save us.
An AP-AOL News poll asked Americans what they thought would happen in 2007. Here are the highlights of their results:
Six in 10 people think the U.S. will be the victim of a terrorist attack. An identical percentage thinks it likely that a biological or nuclear weapon will be unleashed somewhere else in the world.
Seventy percent of people in the U.S. predict a major natural disaster in the country and an equal percentage expects worsening global warming. Also, 29 percent think it likely that the U.S. will withdraw its troops from Iraq.
35 percent predict the military draft will be reinstated.
35 percent predict a cure for cancer will be found.
25 percent anticipate the second coming of Jesus Christ.
19 percent think scientists are likely to find evidence of extraterrestrial life.
So there you have it. Aliens are going to cure cancer by warming up the planet, but then attack us, so we will need to remove our troops from Iraq and have a draft, but Jesus will come back and lead us to victory. You heard it here first.
