hypocracy and the democrats
figures, the dems were outraged when republican lawmakers called for obama's birth certificate, but now it's ok to do the same thing to a new republican congressman? i hate politics. and barney frank.
p.s. you don't have to be born an american citizen to be a congressman, unlike the presidency.
Barney Frank wants to see Rep. Djou's birth certificate
Tongue firmly in cheek, Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) on Tuesday afternoon called on reporters to demand to see the birth certificate of new Rep. Charles Djou (R-Hawaii).
yes, that is barney frank grabbing some dude's ass.
As Djou was being sworn into office, Frank walked the hallway of the Speaker's Lobby off the House floor calling on the media to "do your job" and review Djou's papers.

A suicidal man engulfed in flames leaps to his death off the top of a pier of Freedom Bridge in Budapest, Hungary. Firemen tried to convince the man, aged about 40, to come down, but he finally splashed inflammable fluid on himself and jumped off. He died on the spot.
nothing to fear but fear itself. and invisible sharks.
i'm never going into the ocean un-armed again.
Sharks Can Become Invisible
In open water, there is often no place to hide. Some sharks have overcome this problem by making themselves invisible to both prey and predators, according to a new study.
Light trickery permits the optical illusion, described in the current issue of the Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology. The findings represent the first experimental tests of shark luminescence.
"I believe that what most surprised and excited me about this paper was the finding that the emission of light on the ventral surface of the sharks closely resembles the environmental light," Coelho said, "allowing the sharks to efficiently camouflage themselves by counter-illumination, remaining invisible to both possible predators and potential prey."

Andre Johnson: "I plan on being a Texan until the day I retire"
pay this man his f'in money.
Texans WR Johnson back without promise of new deal
Star wide receiver Andre Johnson returned to the Texans’ fold Thursday, sounding chastened after missing the team’s first three voluntary organized team activities and seemingly suggesting he wouldn’t skip future off-season workouts as a way of showing dissatisfaction with his contract.
“I didn’t feel right being at home,” Johnson said. “That’s not me. I never miss OTAs. I’ve always been here, so I came in. I’m man enough to say that it was (out of character for him to be a no-show). I’m disappointed about it. I talked to everybody (in Texans’ management). There are no grudges and I don’t have any grudges toward them. We’re just going to move on.
“You can’t really win against the organization. When you’re under contract, they can hold you to it. It’s up to them to re-do it, give you an extension or whatever. They really don’t have to do anything. But I’m past all that now. I’m here working and I’m going to continue to work and hopefully we can achieve our goal of getting to the playoffs and winning the super Bowl.
“Hopefully everything works out. That’s it. I plan on being a Texan until the day I retire.”

Muammar Gadaffi's army of all female, all virgin bodyguards
the one thing gadaffi got right..
Gadaffi’s army of all-female, all-virgin bodyguards
Libyan leader Muammar al-Gadaffi is a one of a kind dictator. The Guide of the First of September Great Revolution of the Socialist People’s Libyan Arab Jamahiriya is guarded by an elite corps of beautiful female bodyguards.
The bodyguards, who allegedly number over 200, are all trained in firearms and the martial arts. Gaddafi also claims that the bodyguards are all virgins. We can’t verify the veracity of that one, unfortunately. But it does make for some killer PR. In fact, a documentary was even made about them back in 2004.

9 characters you didn't know share the same voice
a good one below, rest after the jump.
The Top Nine Characters You Didn't Know Shared the Same Voice
Homer Simpson and Earthworm Jim
Dan Castellaneta is, of course, the voice of the most important animated fat guy of the last two decades, Homer Simpson (Peter Griffin can suck it). And though it's a role he's played for nearly twenty years, he's also kept busy doing guest spots on TV shows, making personal appearances...and voicing beloved video game character Earthworm Jim in his cartoon and TV show.

14 actors who almost played superheros
thank god tom cruise didn't play iron man, see the rest after the jump.
Dodged Bullets: 14 Actors Who Were Almost Superheroes
Close your eyes for a moment and imagine a world that doesn’t have Christian Bale playing Batman… okay, that would probably look like the weird and wacky ’60s when Adam West was prancing about in gray tights… or maybe the adventurous ’80s and ’90s when Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer and George Clooney all took turns at slipping into black latex bat suits, a few of which sported nipples.
Tom Cruise as Iron Man
it was long believed that Tom Cruise would not only eventually star as Stark, but also co-produce the character’s first foray onto the big screen. Cruise’s connection to an Iron Man movie goes back to just after the turn of the century, and intensified after Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man helped inject a new lease on life into the superhero genre.

specter out, paul in
last night was a very interesting night in politics. i'm glad that the turncoat arlen specter is out of the picture, and am excited to see what rand paul can do in kentucky (something we've been following for almost a year).
Arlen Specter out, Rand Paul advances, Blanche Lincoln fights on
The defeat of Arlen Specter – Pennsylvania’s longest-serving senator in history – and the victory of “tea party”-backed Rand Paul in his Kentucky Senate primary Tuesday signal a restless electorate disinclined to follow the wishes of the Washington establishment of both parties.
In Pennsylvania, the storied political career of Senator Specter comes to an end despite the backing of the president and governor, the latest evidence that political coattails are a myth in this age of the independent political operator. Despite final polls showing a tight race, Specter lost to Rep. Joe Sestak in the Democratic primary 54 to 46 percent. Congressman Sestak will face former Rep. Pat Toomey (R) of Pennsylvania in November.
In Kentucky, novice politician Rand Paul – son of the libertarian former presidential candidate Rep. Ron Paul (R) of Texas – decisively beat the GOP’s hand-picked candidate, state Secretary of State Trey Grayson, 59 to 35 percent. The Paul victory represents the largest win yet for the tea party movement, an antitax, small-government backlash that has energized conservatives across the country for more than a year. The Grayson defeat was also a defeat for Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell, who had recruited Mr. Grayson to run. In November, Paul will face state Attorney General Jack Conway, who narrowly defeated the more conservative Lt. Gov. Daniel Mongiardo in the Democratic primary.

jermaine from 'flight of the conchords' will play villain in MIB III
this is going to be hysterical.
Meet the New Villain in 'Men In Black III'
Flight of the Conchords stars Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie declined to return for a 3rd season of the HBO series, but they have been touring around the world and selling out most venues. Which bodes well for Jermaine now that he's tuning up to play the villainous Yaz in Men in Black III, the sequel that is being fast-tracked by Columbia Pictures.
