Bam! Obama for President.
The Illinois Senator wowed everyone, even Republicans last night as he graciously accepted the Democratic Party’s nomination for President of the U.S. to the A. Okay? Okay.
He managed to work in quotes from Martin Luther King Jr.’s famous “I have a Dream” speech and even the play “A Raisin in the Sun.” Obama’s landmark acceptance speech was made 45 years to the day after Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his inspirational speech in front of the Washington Monument.
I’m sold. I have a ticket to the all you can eat buffet of hope and I’m going to fill my plate with Obama.
Still the Republican convention is a week away and Marc thinks the Republican V.P choice will be a hot, young, good-looking guy that’s stupid as rocks, just like Dan Quayle. And why not? It worked once and we know how the Republicans continue to work from the same playbook year after year.
Or Ben Johnson. Remember him? Back in November of 2007 he was all over the blogs for his over the top video of him talking about how he loved to send meat to the troops. You know, support the troops, and stuff.
We’re so glad to be back in the Windy City of Chicago, where the air runs free and Feast of Fools proudly calls home.
Listen as our blogtastic pal Michael Lehet joins us to talk about how windmills may be destroying those sweet bat aveoli. I know it sounds like some Chef Boyardee pasta in a can gone horribly wrong, but a new study shows that windmill farms might be hurting those insect eating, eco-friendly bats.
What should we do? Burn those eco-unfriendly but bat-friendly fossil fuels?
Cows have a good sense of direction and you may too- if you’re blindfolded. Scientists from the University of Duisburg-Essen looked at thousands of images of cattle on Google Earth in Britain, Ireland, India and the USA.
They were able to tell that many cows naturally face north.
Thanks to Paul for sending us Disney’s Song of the South, a bizzare and over the top Disney film (spoiler alert) with an ambiguous ending which depicts a young boy getting run over a bull and possibly going to heaven, where all his pals and animal friends frolic around him.
An Oregon nurse kills her own assassin with her bare hands. Later it was revealed that the assassin may have been hired by the woman’s husband.
Listen up people, this show just might save your life!
Hey anyone going to Saugatuk, Michigan? E-mail us and let’s hang out. This weekend Tracy Tyler, Marc Felion and I are heading up to the Fire Island of the Midwest to say goodbye to summer with thousands of gay men.

Now can we talk about the Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin? Boy were we wrong for Ben “Turkey Jerkey” Johnson as VP!
Yeah we didn’t see that one coming at all did we? Oh well, perhaps in 4 more years!
I heard my shout-out! Yay! Naff Naff Naff Naff!
NAFF’s for everyone!
I still want Ben Turkey Jerky for President.
Wish I was there with you guys! (Posted this in the forums, but I really want to share this here too…) I’m really excited because it looks like we’re all going to come together to put in a REALLY good candidate into the Oval Office.
But you MUST register to vote, and you MUST vote. Every person counts. Do you really want to tell future generations that you skipped voting in THIS election?
I was also in tears realizing that last night in some ways Martin Luther King Jr.’s dream came true.
So the “song of the south” video, while a little off color, but typical in that time is a little odd, it reminds me of a wonderful Tracy Morgan skit from SNL which takes a great satirical look at this same clip….
