In terms of who’s an elitist, I think people have made a judgment that John McCain is not an arugula-eating, pointy headed professor-type based on his life story.
- John McCain Spokesman Brian Rogers

No, This is not from the Onion. It’s from the Washington Post. In what has been described as one of the most important national elections ever, one that will determine the future of this nation for generations, the level of political discourse has reached a new nadir.

Site of the Week: Hulu

The big problem with the internet is that it seems like it’s designed to make you feel like an idiot on purpose.

I don’t mean the fact that every question you post on Yahoo!Answers is answered by some snotty 12-year-old. I don’t mean that every time you try to do research you have your choice of either an impenetrable thesis or incorrect wiki.

I Mean the fact that even though you try to stay abreast of news and features, even though you subscribe to dozens of feeds, constantly google, search Technorati and have alerts automatically sent to your cell phone, you still come across a nifty, cool, useful and entertaining site after millions of other people already know about it. On the Internets, you’re always a Noob somewhere.

Take Hulu.com

Hulu is a free TV and movie Streaming site. Yes Free. As in , Get-your-fix-of-the-A-Team-right-now. As in no money down. Not $1.99. Not $.99. Free.

There’s a catch- The number of shows is inversely proportional to the age and DVD availability. A show airing today might only have the last couple episodes. A classic on DVD might have the entire first season. A show which is no longer selling might have nearly it’s entire run.

And, Of course they’re ad supported.

But this closes the deal: Embeddable content. That’s right. Embed your favorite show in your blog.

So, For Your viewing pleasure, here’s a classic Writer’s movie for Memorial Day Weekend:

The Worst Joke Ever

Posted by admin on April 28, 2008

Patty Whack was working as a loan officer at her local Bank. Times were good, and the banks were lending money to just about anybody.

However, one day a frog came in and hopped up on the desk.

“I need a loan,” the frog said.

Patty looked at the frog and thought about it for a minute.

“I’m sorry, but we don’t normally lend to amphibians. Do you have any references?”

The frog pulled out a sheaf of papers. “I have references, tax returns and Experian reports right here.”

Patty was flabbergasted that the frog was so well prepared.

“Well, do you have any collateral?”

The frog pulled out an ashtray with a picture of Niagara Falls and handed it to Patty. She took it and looked at it.

“What’s this?” she asked.

“An Ashtray,” said the frog.

Patty didn’t know what to do. The frog seemed to have all the paperwork, but she still didn’t know if she should lend it the money. She decided to ask her supervisor. She excused herself and went over to his office. and explained the situation. The Supervisor asked to see the Ashtray and she handed it over.

He Sighed and handed it back.

“It’s a Knick-Knack Patty Whack. Give the frog a loan.”
