We are just off the plane from south of the border, and boy, do we have a fantastic outlook on life. 2007 promises to be a hysterical (if not hysterically depressing) year, and we’re soo ready for it. Things we have to look forward to:

• More Iraq bungling, this time of the bipartisan variety
• The endless fun of presidential pre-primary season
• New Transformers AND a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Movies
• Theoretically, College Graduation
• The return of the Culture Warrior weekly podcast

We would rather be  duct taped into a razor-wielding testicle guillotine  than have to accidentally catch a few seconds of this steaming pile of pig shit of television program, even if by mistake. Our only hope is that our species dies out before this thing makes it to the airwaves.

Ah, yes. So it is possible for media corporations to find new programming out here in the wilderness of the World Wide Web. It makes us wonder why all the communications conglomerates are so focused on shutting the internet down instead of treating it like what it really is: a goldmine.

An astute social observation of our own, plus music as always after the jump.
