I know a fair number of liberals who reject Keith Olbermann for his blowhard tone (reminiscent of Limbaugh, Hannity, etc.) despite the fact that they might agree with his stance on the issues. But even if you find Olbermann objectionable (for whatever reason), you should hear what he has to say about California’s dreadful passage of Proposition 8.

This just in: Hell has frozen over
For once I agree completely with a segment on Fox News. I found this over on Wonkette.
As I mentioned earlier today, I supported Ralph Nader, for a time, in the 2000 election. I’ve pretty much had it with him ever since then. Gore lost Florida by a few hundred votes, and it’s worth noting that in that same election, over 90,000 Floridians voted for Nader. There are plenty of arguments you can make as to what was the turning point in Bush’s “victory” in 2000, but in my mind, this has always been the one: Ralph Nader’s 90,000 votes in Florida. End of story.
Except it’s not the end of the story. For a third-party candidate, Nader actually had a respectable showing nationwide in that election, even buoying interest in the Green Party. But since then he has continued to run ever more irrelevant campaigns, with rapidly dwindling support. Yet he persists, not so much deluded that he might actually win the presidency — he knows he can’t — but deluded that what he’s doing isn’t having a net negative effect on the country.
And then there’s this, the piece from Fox News last night:
Uncle Tom??? Are you kidding me? Ralph, please go away. You have nothing left to contribute to this country.
And now back to our usual inanity
If you’re getting tired of my political rants, my dissing of Sarah Palin, my man-crush on Barack Obama, then welcome back to business as usual here at room34.com.
Three words: Ho. Ly. Crap. Although I played my fair share of Super Mario Bros. in the late ’80s, I was too old for the Saturday morning cartoons. But now my son isn’t, and they’re selling them on DVD at Target.
I always enjoyed the little quasi-calypso ditty that accompanied Mario’s journeys in the Mushroom Kingdom, but until now I never realized there were words.
Do the Mario!
Swing your arms
From side to side
Come on it’s time to go!
Do the Mario!Take one step
And then again
Let’s do the Mario!
All together now!You got it!
It’s the Mario!Do the Mario!
Swing your arms
From side to side
Come on it’s time to go!
Do the Mario!Take one step
And then again
Let’s do the Mario!
All together now!Come on now!
Juuuust like thaaaaat!
I can actually stand to listen to Sarah Palin like this
If she does get elected, I hope she hires this pianist to accompany her whenever she gives a speech.

Ben Affleck as Keith Olbermann
I like Keith Olbermann, but I can recognize how over-the-top he is. He’s not quite as unpleasantly antagonistic towards the right as Bill Maher, but he sometimes comes close.
Ben Affleck did a pretty good skewering of him last night on SNL, culminating in an absolutely brilliant “Special Comment” in defense of… “Miss Precious Perfect.” Watch…
Now, I just wish they’d post the Giraffes video by the Staten Island Technical High School A/V club.
