Jon Stewart Eviscerates The 'Birther' Movement

"In a lengthy opening segment, Jon Stewart took on "birthers" last night, mocking their internal leadership and the media figures and politicians who support them. If you don't know by now (which is totally possible as a rational adult who does not engage with the lunatic fringe) "birthers" think that our president is not an American citizen, but instead a citizen of Kenya, who, through a massive government and familial conspiracy, tricked the American people into electing him.

Despite OVERWHELMING evidence that Barack Obama is a U.S. citizen, "birthers" have created a media frenzy of late that has prompted conservative representatives to introduced the so called "birther bill" that would call for presidential candidates to provide their birth certificates before running. There has been some very responsible reporting on the subject, if you can ever call engaging crazy people responsible, by Rick Sanchez, Chris Matthews and others who called these people crazy and showed copies of the president's birth certificate amongst other documents proving he was born in Hawaii."

I'm in awe. Not just because HELLO ROCKBAND BEATLES, but the animation is a-freaking-mazing.

I urge everyone to take some time out of their day to watch this and read these reviews which started the glorious Three Wolf T-Shirt phenomena.

Hoy, estoy escribiendo mi español composición de sobre Snape. Translation: Today, I'm writing my Spanish essay about Snape. My teacher said we just have to tell him a story about anything/anyone, and Snape > Cinderella.


Besides that, I'm obligated to mention that DEFIANCE and FANBOYS are MUST SEE movies for everyone on my flist.

Words seriously cannot do Death Cab for Cutie performing live justice.

They have six-going-on-seven albums and somehow they managed to play all the songs I love and wanted to hear, new and old alike. When they opened with Marching Bands of Manhattan, I teared up because I was so happy. Ben Gibbard's voice is PHENOMENAL. And! He shed serious weight and looked amazing. It looked like Nicholas Harmer (bassist) also lost some weight. They (tried to) closed with Bixby Canyon Bridge, but we went crazy and demanded an encore. It took them so long to come back onto the stage, I almost didn't think they were but they did. They played not one, but three more songs. Then they properly ended with Transatlanticism.

There will be pictures later.

I can die happy now.

Today's a sad day. Frankie Manning passed this morning from pneumonia at the age of 94, just one month shy of his 95th birthday. I know probably no one knows who he was, but he's like one of the founders of Lindy Hop, a form of swing. Lindy Hop performers like Frankie Manning do incredible aerials and make it look effortless. He was still dancing in his nineties.

I want to keep dancing all my life, too.



(Frankie Manning is the one in the overalls who dances with the woman dressed in a maid outfit, jsyk.)

I do love me some dark humor.

Here's a game for everyone. Guess which post secret applies to Mari!

Also, I'm ridiculously looking forward to Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs just because of that trailer. Yeah, I'm still a kid.

I almost didn't get up out of bed for my 8 AM class today, but I'm glad I did. Otherwise I would've missed this:




You should all know that outta_my_head is my hero. ♥ She made me NPH icons! :D

Dumbledore break dances. Hermione jerks. Death Eaters do the thriller. This is all you need to know to be persuaded to watch.

Summer: Happy Summer loves Marissa Day!
Marissa: You're mistaken. It's Marissa loves Summer Day!
Summer: OH. OMG. I forgot! It's Mutual Love Day!


In other news, I danced tonight and I'm way out of shape. This needs to change Spring quarter.

Comment to this post and tell me which of my characters (past or present) I am most similar to and why. Then repost, and I will tell you the same!


I'm with outta_my_head on this one. It'll be amusing to see how responses vary considering how some of you have only seen me write as one or two characters, whereas others have seen much more than that.

Dear Google Books,

You are amazing. I love you and your search bar that allows me to go straight to the information I need. You let me read books I don't want to waste my money buying for one-read only. You save me the hassle of scrolling through pages of pages looking to glean the information I need for this paper. I'm forever in gratitude.

EXTREME ADORATION,
Me
