FWIW, I am following the Republican Convention only so far as I can by listening to Stewart and Colbert and following political cartoons.

I Misspoke—What I Meant To Say Is ‘I Am Dumb As Dog Sh%$ And I Am A Terrible Human Being’
By Rep. Todd Akin (R-MO) August 20, 2012
As a politician, I often find myself in situations where, unfortunately, I express a certain thought or idea poorly, or find my words taken out of context. Indeed, that is what happened this weekend. Upon reviewing the impromptu remarks I made Sunday afternoon, I can now see that I used the wrong words in the wrong way. I would now like to set the record straight with the American people and clear up some confusion about what it was I intended to convey.
You see, what I said was, “If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.” But what I meant to say was, “I am a worthless, moronic sack of sh%$ and an utterly irredeemable human being who needs to shut up and go away forever.”

Or this one:

It’s a tough call.

You know, I’ve never been a fan of the zombie genre.
I’ve never sat through a whole zombie movie (though I do want to see the genre bender Shaun of the Dead), and I really don’t get the whole zombie walk thing.
However, the ziomnbie protest of Fred Phelps’ twisted bigoted family is a genius:
Counter-demonstrators dressed as zombies outnumbered protesters from the Westboro Baptist Church at a military base near DuPont, Washington over the weekend.
Melissa Neace, 27, launched a Facebook group to organize the zombies event after she learned that the radical ant-LGBT church would be picketing Joint Base Lewis-McChord near Seattle.
“We wanted to turn something negative around, into something people could laugh at and poke fun at,” Neace explained to The News Tribune. “It was the easiest way to divert attention from something so hateful.”
Over 200 people committed to attending the event on Saturday, which she called “Zombie’ing Westboro Baptist Church AWAY from Fort Lewis!”
Of course, this is completely unrealistic.
Zombies eat brains, and they’d starve if they had to depend on Westboro Baptist.

Twilight vs. Buffy
Full disclosure: I did watch Twilight, it was my daughter’s choice for movie night, and one of the rules is that we all watch, and I saw the Buffy movie, but I never watched the TV series, but I love this:
