1,001,010

No, the post title isn't binary. It's the number of views of "100 Movies, 100 Quotes, 100 Numbers" as of this morning. The video breached into the seventh digit late last night.

I'll be posting a little one year anniversary reminiscence later on next month.

Up for a trip to Cambodia?

Busy as usual. Here's some more abandoned places for you to explore:

Even "Onward Christian Soldiers" need some stress relief.

Oh, for crying out loud!

Some very strange conservative activists, apparently with far too much time on their hands, launched an initiative last November to limit U.S. troops’ access to adult materials. It never occurred to me that policy makers would take this seriously, but apparently, they are.

To quickly recap for those just joining us, Congress banned sales of sexually explicit materials on military bases 11 years ago, but the Pentagon continues to allow base stores to sell magazines such as Playboy and Penthouse, which officials don’t consider explicit enough to prohibit.

The American Family Association and the Alliance Defense Fund, two religious right groups, demanded the Congress and Defense Secretary Robert Gates takes steps to scrutinize materials, including magazines and films, sold to the troops and their families.

It's bad enough that these Republican dickwads won't give them the proper equipment, extends their tour of duties, and denies them proper pay and benefits. But given that these brave soldiers are dodging bullets and shrapnel for your sorry asses, the least you can do is allow them to clean their pipes!

Which Six?

Uh. Submitted without comment:

On Sunday, Tony Zirkle, a Republican candidate for Indiana's 2nd District, took time out from saving the economy by shredding vintage Playboys (of course!) so he could attend a 119th birthday celebration for Adolf Hitler. He claims he was only there to talk about his experience as a state's attorney in Indiana, his wacky theories about pornography, and to preach the gospel, so of course his being there had absolutely nothing to do with his segregation plan that would allow blacks to "have six states, so instead of having one half-black senator, well they would have 12."

The Coen Brothers Oscar Reel

Well, if there's any justice, the Coen Brothers will one day get a lifetime achievement Oscar as well as a clip show at least as long as all the boring ones they do these days. I nominate this homemade one to save the Academy a little labor.
