Not just the evidence of the second and third photos, which are subtly wrong in that freaky Lovecraftian cosmic-terror sort of way. Not just the way that “rourke” is now a verb.

They threw him out 59-0:
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich has been convicted at his impeachment trial and thrown out of office.
His removal comes nearly two months after his arrest on charges of trying to sell Barack Obama’s vacant Senate seat. He becomes the first U.S. governor in more than 20 years to be removed by impeachment.
…and AoSHQ reports that they’re apparently setting it up so that he’ll never hold office in Illinois again.
In light of that: Blagojevich likes literary references. I’m making one under the fold. Continue reading Blagojevich stripped of office, any reason to keep his mouth shut.
You probably already knew about it. Thanks to skipping around Ain’t It Cool News, now I do to. The movie is going to be directed by Andrew Stanton – click on the name to see why the animation fanboy behind you is cooing, or just contemplate the mystical and wondrous Power Word: “Pixar” – but apparently it’s not going to be animated:
Discussing the move from fully 3-D animated movies to live-action, Stanton added: “I think that’s the only way. I mean, there are so many creatures and characters that half of it’s going to be CG whether you want it to be [or not], just to realise some of these images that are in the book. But it will feel real. The whole thing will feel very, very believable.” Continue reading Animated “John Carter of Mars” movie scheduled for 2012.
…but when it comes to movie poster design, they’re kind of nuts.
This is a movie poster for Weekend at Bernie’s
No, really.
You heard it here first.
Why am I predicting this? Well, to start off with, it’s not like getting it wrong is going to embarrass me or anything – I’m just this guy on the Internet, remember – so why not? Anyway, I’m figuring that the revision is going to happen, based on two factors.

If you’re not outraged, you’re not paying attention.
I got the tip from fellow RedState gonzo blogger absentee that Susette Kelo’s house – the one that the Supreme Court ratified the City of New London;s taking away from her, in what was frankly not liberalism’s finest hour – still hadn’t been replaced by anything. If that post by This Woman’s Weblog is accurate, it sure looks like it:
As you know, Susette’s little pink house and the homes of her neighbors were seized through eminent domain in a landgrab sanctioned by the U.S. Supreme Court. New London promised to put a glitzy new private development project on the land, but now, nearly four years after the ruling and $78 million in taxpayer money spent, literally nothing has been built on the land; it remains vacant, the neighborhood bulldozed.
Continue reading Kelo’s Little Pink House is still a bulldozed lot.
Which I like, even if it is designed to be a wallpaper and not a blog background. I mean, I liked the old one, too; but I found out that it wasn’t actually public domain after all and the artist never got back to me.
Still, if somebody has a good one that is public domain – or that the artist doesn’t mind me using – by all means, feel free to present it.
If you haven’t familiarized yourself with DHMO.org yet, please do: it’s a invaluable website that gives you the facts about a silent threat. From the FAQ:
Dihydrogen Monoxide (DHMO) is a colorless and odorless chemical compound, also referred to by some as Dihydrogen Oxide, Hydrogen Hydroxide, Hydronium Hydroxide, or simply Hydric acid. Its basis is the highly reactive hydroxyl radical, a species shown to mutate DNA, denature proteins, disrupt cell membranes, and chemically alter critical neurotransmitters. The atomic components of DHMO are found in a number of caustic, explosive and poisonous compounds such as Sulfuric Acid, Nitroglycerine and Ethyl Alcohol.
To give you an idea of just how widespread this problem is, consider this: when Charles Sullenberger landed his plane safely, his primary concern afterwards was making sure that all of the people in his charge had as little exposure to DHMO as possible – and that plane was positively dripping with the stuff, thanks to the crash knocking things around.
Yes. It’s that much of a threat to us all.
It was also a political kind of day. So here’s a Babylon Five video clip:
…and let me go see what else happened today.
“Come, man!” cried Carthoris. “We are not dead yet. Let us hasten to the avenues and make an attempt to leave the city. We are still alive, and while we live we may yet endeavour to direct our own destinies. Of what avail, to sink spineless
It’s not up yet at THOMAS, but really: it’s the thought that counts. From Representative JOHN CARTER OF MARS!… err, actually, Texas’ 31st district (and a Republican, of course), we have this fun little bill:
All U.S. taxpayers would enjoy the same immunity from IRS penalties and interest as House Ways and Means Chairman Charles Rangel (D-NY) and Obama Administration Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, if a bill introduced today by Congressman John Carter (R-TX) becomes law.
Carter, a former longtime Texas judge, today introduced the Rangel Rule Act of 2009, HR 735, which would prohibit the Internal Revenue Service from charging penalties and interest on back taxes against U.S. citizens. Under the proposed law, any taxpayer who wrote “Rangel Rule” on their return when paying back taxes would be immune from penalties and interest.
Via AoSHQ, where they’re just as aware as we are that the Democratic Congress would never dare let this become law. After all, where would the country be if the proletariat was able to access the same considerations and exceptions currently enjoyed by the aristos running the place? – Still, nice point there, Warlord.
