Minute 91

Fantastic 1-0 finish advances U.S.

"We embody what Americans are about. We can moan about [inexplicably, inexcusably terrible calls] or we can get on with it, and we kept going. We believe, man."

"We're not done yet."

-Landon Donovan


Landon Donovan catapulted the Americans from leaving the dance early to winning their group. With one goal.  Whenever I need a reminder of American resiliency, or whenever I just need to feel better, I will watch that golden goal in the 91st minute.


"We're not done yet."

Why I Love, Have Loved, and Always Will Love Joe Biden



How's that for a big mouth?  Joe Biden said exactly what the President feels but is too Vulcan to say.  And if the White House is smart, they'd get Biden a louder mic (for once).

And in related news, the three stooges issued a rebuttal to the same statement, so earnestly articulated by Joe "Sorry For The Shakedown" Barton, that Biden denounced above. Quick to point out that Republican members of Congress are in fact like, really in touch with real America, the GOP House leadership referred to the oil spill as a "natural disaster." A natural disaster. Just like a potential GOP-controlled House.

Carte Blanche

Here sorta Senator Blanche "Jinxy Minx" Lincoln of Arkansee speaks with an animated pumpkin of sorts.*  I'd make a $100 donation to the Bill Halter campaign** to know what's being said. Probably something like "There now, Aunty Blanche will get you your own derivative too." Consider the absent caption a blank card with which you may fill in whatever sexual fantasy you fancy.***

Strike A Pose

Obama is depicted here gracing the Hill with his majestic presence, saying things like "Hey there" and "How are you." Meanwhile, third shift Capitol Police officer and part-time model got excited. Yo Darrell take it easy man. Put your guns away.

For The College Graduate

Starting your career in a troubled time is a challenge. But it is also a privilege. Because it's moments like these that force us to try harder, to dig deeper, and to discover gifts we never knew we had--to find the greatness that lies within each of us.
-President Barack Obama

From a graduation card my aunt and uncle gave me.

"So, don't ever shy away from that endeavor. Don't ever stop adding to your body of work."

Mmm Mmm Good

During last night's exciting ACORN Vote Bowl, news of CNN anchor Campbell Brown's departure from the ratings-challenged network was released along with the identity of her replacement host, former New York governor Eliot Spitzer Dupree Mayflower Hookers. In tendering her resignation, Brown was refreshingly frank about her reasons for leaving the show of her namesake:

"The simple fact is that not enough people want to watch my program, and I owe it to myself and to CNN to get out of the way so that CNN can try something else."

Good for you Campbell. I've always been a fan of yours, even though I've never really listened to the words coming out of your mouth. You've always been the cougary Megyn Kelly, which is another way of saying I wouldn't know whether I'd want to bone you or just tape your tongue to the side of your mouth. Your fiery NO BULL I AM A SERIOUS REPORTER MMKAY? demeanor has always struck me as just painfully cute and endearing, like a middle-aged mom attempting to utilize her hitherto meaningless degree in English by writing novellas between chauffeuring the kids to lacrosse practice before yoga class. With your radiant smile, swept bangs brunette hair, your flawless porcelain skin, deep brown  eyes and your adorable squirrel cheeks, no man can help but fall in love with you immediately, mostly because you look like you would cook us something if we were hungry.  You are a piece Campbell Brown.  So much so that I have declared thee our third Attractive (I suppose former) Anchor & Cutie Correspondent honoree. You have joined good company.  God bless you darling. I will miss not watching you.



Rawr.
