I always thought kids were anarchists. But with these hilarious outfits from The Retro Baby Store - Generation Z Babies are about to “go off their rockers” even more. Pre-school teachers beware!
Party At My Crib!
I like to hit the bottle!
That’s how I roll!
Ok, maybe the headline is a bit mean - but come on HRC - the time has come for you to step out of the primary race and let my man Obama enjoy his time in the sun! After the amazing turnout in Indiana and the Obama victory in North Carolina last night, I am one enthusiastic Obama supporter. And this little piece of propaganda sent to me by Mr. Andre Blackman nearly made me fall off my chair:
Aha! A new favorite holiday! World Fair Trade Day - the largest coffee break ever! What a beautiful idea - let’s bring all the over caffeinated souls together, get hopped up on caffeine and try to change the world!
Actually, the event looks pretty cool and meaningful (unlike most of the things I write about):
World Fair Trade Day
Saturday, May 10, 2008
3:00 PM - 5:00 PM
Cafe Collage
1346 T Street, NW, Washington, DC
Fair Trade Certified™ coffee and other samples of fairly-traded products will be distributed, including Fair Trade Certified™ sugar and chocolate, provided by Alter Eco USA, Fair Trade Certified™ Numi Teas, and Sencha Natural’s Green Tea Mints and Green Tea Bars, with Fair Trade Certified™ green tea extract and Liz Lovely cookies and snacks with Fair Trade Certified™ ingredients. A special screening of the film “Black Gold,” a documentary about global coffee trade, will be played throughout the afternoon.
Grammarphobs unite in the true absurdity of this sign:
How about we get the English language down first before demanding it as the official language of the United States? Sigh.
Yes, I know, it is different. Don’t be alarmed - Absurdities! is just trying to get a face lift. I wanted three columns and this is the best I can do (for now).
Let me know if you have a preference on the old design vs. new design.
So, I have sort of realized that my passion for music and politics have totally converged with Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign. Thanks to my friends at RH2028, we have yet another one for the record (pun intended) by Taz Arnold (AKA TI$A), the front man to underground hip-hop group SA-RA Creative Partners.
Just repeat after me: “This is for real and not for play, Imma vote Obama way. We good, we voting, [and] we throwing it up.”
The music video titled “Vote Obama” features cameos from Kanye West, Jay Z, Chris Brown, Travis Barker, Shepard Fairey, and Apple of The Black Eyed Peas. Sit back, enjoy and please don’t be like the Obama Girl - go out, register to vote and actually cast a ballot.
Thanks to a friend for showing me the silver lining to the future of the Washington, DC metro and pointing out Greater Greater Washington’s WMATA fantasty map:
Personally, as a DC resident, I’m not sure how I feel about the grand Metro extensions out into the ‘burbs, but I guess as long as I can get to work everyday - more love for Washington, DC and less cars on the road is a plus. I do wonder, however, whether the popped-collar mafia in Georgetown will object to a Metro stop (gasp) within their cobble-stone paradise?
Only time (and a lot of tax payer money) can tell.
He’s baaackkk. Corey Worthington that is - the Audacious Aussie who threw the massive rager at his parent’s home back in January. Thanks to Sajalicious for pointing out the news of his single, “Fight for Your Right (to Party)” making headway into the music scene via Inthemix.
Instead of lighting fires at his parent’s home, the petulant S.O.B. is apparently trying to one-up the Beastie Boys with a cover of their 1986 song that defined my rebel-without-a-cause streak in middle school.
Unfortunately, the club mix sounds just like it is - a hungover Aussie kid doing Karaoke at his parents house. Not catchy enough for my tastes, I’ll stick to the original. And besides, three dudes in sunglasses is way better than one.
In other Worthing-tool news, it is speculated that he will make an appearance on Big Brother and has been offered a job as a party promoter. His single, already receiving criticism as a spin-off of a cult-classic, is available at www.youmenow.com as of Monday, May 5th.
At the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival held in Indio, CA Roger Waters, a former member of Pink Floyd, reportedly “brought Coachella to a close with an epic two-set performance that included playing all of “Dark Side of the Moon” and unleashing a giant inflated pig into the night sky.“
Never mind the fact that Waters performed “an elaborate, almost retrospective concert Sunday featuring music from throughout Pink Floyd’s catalog” - he let loose a giant pig into the night sky! Even more amusing is that the underbelly of the pig read “Obama” with a check box alongside.
Yet another musical tribute for Prez-hopeful Barack Obama. HRC is eating dust when it comes to the Votes for Notes Campaign. (Not sure if that really exists, but it sure seems like it).
The AP story reports that the pig was led above the crowd from lines held on the ground, and as Waters drew the festival a close, flame bursts exploded off stage setting the swine onto an outer space mission into the night sky.
Now that is some serious canvassing efforts - I wonder if there are any super delegates from Mars?
Well, I’m not sure what you were all doing last night, but in between sipping some delicious red wine and staying out of the DC downpour, I was lucky enough to be included on the Twitter queue of Leslieann44 as she reported live from the White House Correspondent’s dinner. She attended the event as a loyal sidekick to Howard Mortman, and her incredible updates kept this Dionysian Princess well-amused into the wee-hours of the morning. This is the first WHC that has been Tweeted live - so it is almost like being part of Internet-Political history! How absurd is that? I’m wondering if there are actually any letters left on the keys of Ms. Bradshaw’s Blackberry Pearl this morning after the massive amount of tweeting she did last night - good job girl!
Leslieann44 covered the WHC the way it should be - with high brow commentary on the fashion, the faux pas and the politics of the evening. Here are some of the highlights - it’s almost like an E! show at the Oscars, except Beltway style:
“Bush shares a black and white picture of 5 Bushes in a bathtub. Um, awkward trtl!! And, full frontal nude of Jeb at age 6.”
“Omg Helen Thomas. I held the bathroom door for her just now. She is so kick ass.”
“David Corn of Mother Jones gets the stud of the night award. Why? Escorting Morgan Fairchild. Also-She took her pic with me! Blonde buddies.
“A very impressive officer in all sorts of bling just turned to me and said: I am so hot, I am wrapped in polyester. “
“Liberal media bias crowd check: more folks clapped when asked if a Democrat. The Republicans all booed. All 26 of them.
“Morgan Fairchild at my 2 o’clock, at Reuters. Looking great for 65. You go gurl!”
Thanks again to these fine folks from New Media Strategies showing off their stuff at the WHC. I can’t wait until next year when I can project the Twitter updates on to a big screen, grab a bag of popcorn and Twitter-experience the fun all over again.
