         <title>Something You Probably Didn&apos;t Know About Eric Slocum</title>
         <description><![CDATA[Eric Slocum, of KOMO fame, apparently is <a href="http://ericslocum.typepad.com/ericslocum/2008/08/the-loves-of-my.html">batting for the other team</a>.  And I'm not talking about KIRO.

What!?  Next thing you know they'll tell me that Dan and Kathi aren't happily married!

         <title>To Protect and Serve... Themselves IV: Texas Cop Doesn&apos;t Care About Dogs.</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<a href="http://www.komonews.com/news/27118464.html">Oh boy.</a>

<blockquote>
A San Marcos, Texas, police officer has been accused of inappropriate behavior during a traffic stop which may have lead to a dog's death.

Officer Paul Stephens spotted driver Michael Gonzalez speeding down Interstate 35 and pulled him over for clocking 100 miles per hour....

Gonzalez and his girlfriend said they were speeding because they were rushing their choking teacup poodle Missy to an emergency veterinary clinic for treatment....

"You're driving down the highway at 100 per hour," he said sternly. "It's a dog, it's OK. You can get another one. Relax"</blockquote>

Gonzalez had to wait fifteen minutes on the side of the road, during which their dog died.  Stephens was found not guilty of misconduct.

So, I'm curious.  What would Mr. Stephens do if HIS dog was dying.  Would he hop in his patrol car and drive 100MPH down the freeway to the vet?

P.S. I asked the San Marcos police chief this very question.  I also noted that Mr. Stephen's actions, and his superiors inactions, are the reason police are no longer portrayed as Joe Friday, and are instead represented by Chief Wiggum and Lt. Jim Dangle.]]></description>

         <title>Awesome Advertising Mashup: Chicken McNugents</title>
         <description><![CDATA[Here's an idea to help McDonalds increase sales.  Create a special Ted Nugent-themed Happy Meal, featuring Chicken McNugents.  They would be just like regular nuggets, except shaped like guitars, musical notes, guns, and the NRA logo.  Or alternatively, to save money, they could just be regular McNuggets with a different name.  Probably nobody would notice the difference.

<img src="http://www.moonbattery.com/archives/ted_nugent.jpg">

They could also adopt the tagline "McDonalds doesn't kill people, people kill people!"  Or better yet, "McDonald's doesn't kill people... just eating it does."

This blog is the most genius blog in the world.]]></description>

         <title>Broken!</title>
         <description>I came into the bedroom today and noticed an eerie quiet.  OH NOES!  The box fan broke.  The box fan runs 24/7.  It&apos;s not that we need it on when we&apos;re not here, but rather that we just don&apos;t notice it running.  We started using it because we live behind a supermarket, and it drowns out the noise at night, but now we can&apos;t sleep without it.  I hope someone has box fans in stock even though it&apos;s nearly freezing out.

UPDATE: Apparently box fans are a SUMMER item.  We plugged the A/C unit in and are running the fan on it, but it&apos;s pretty much not noisy at all.</description>

         <description>Penn Gillette, of Penn and Teller fame.  Seen in the Taco Bell drive-thru in Mukilteo.  Well, provided that Penn Gillette drives a 1997 Buick Skylark.  Also, it technically MIGHT have been a woman.  I&apos;m just not sure.</description>

         <title>New Christian Movie</title>
         <description><![CDATA[What would happen if you took the storyline of Prince of Egypt, but replaced it with the inferior voice acting of Christian Slater, and computer animation stolen from Civilization III.  This is the answer:

         <title>WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!</title>
         <description><![CDATA[I do not believe in alien UFOs.  The idea is ridiculous... they would have been caught on tape in today's video obsessed world anyway.  But...

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="450" height="370" wmode="transparent" data="http://www.liveleak.com/player.swf?autostart=false&token=833_1186752934"><param name="movie" value="http://www.liveleak.com/player.swf?autostart=false&token=833_1186752934"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><param name="quality" value="high"></object>

That's very well done.  And then another from another angle.

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="450" height="370" wmode="transparent" data="http://www.liveleak.com/player.swf?autostart=false&token=1c5_1186798461"><param name="movie" value="http://www.liveleak.com/player.swf?autostart=false&token=1c5_1186798461"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><param name="quality" value="high"></object>

These seem WAY too good to be amateur fakes.  What is going on here?!

UPDATE:  Looks like the entire things are CGI.  There are duplicate palm trees in several places.  Nice work!
