This is an actual ad running right now on the LA Times website, in the politics section:
This Southwick guy has been nominated for some position that he has no business filing and since the Democrats are, you know, the Democrats, he’s probably going to get confirmed, despite the fact that he used to head up a posse that would hunt down run-away slaves and return them to their owners in the South. The campaign to kill his nomination is being run by Mark Twain.

Legendary Aussie band AC/DC (okay, this one is SFW) has staked its proverbial flag into the domain name, which was previously being used by a kinky porn site. Kinky like bondage, water sports and more of the like.
Why, after years of conceding the domain name to the porn site, would they reclaim the URL now? Like always, it’s for the children. Label manager Sam Horsburgh:
The young fans are so net savvy it’s the first thing they do. The push to get it back came predominantly because they knew there were a lot of younger fans coming through.
It’s really cute listening to your 10-year-old singing, “She told me to come/But I was already there.” You have to treasure those precious moments, people.

Kay Baily’s quitting the Senate to run for governor of Texas and then challenge President Hillary for most hated woman on the planet in 2012. Pretty sure who’s going to win that one.
Our very own little Annie is all grown up. Or not, as the case may be. But she’s gone and started her very own irreverent pop culture blog which we recommend you read religiously and learn from, because, well, Annie’s just so much more with it than you are. And probably us too.
Two awful tastes that never went great together, Michelle Malkin and The O’Reilly Factor have called it quits. Rather, Malkin broke up with O’Reilly, who has a serious thing going on with Geraldo, who totally hates Malkin…It’s probably the nastiest break up since Charlie Sheen and the chick who made out with Neve Campbell in “Wild Things.”
Inside Cable News received an e-mail from Malkin last Friday confirming her divorce from the Murdoch-owned news outlet:
From: “Michelle Malkin”
To: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Date: Fri, 12 Oct 2007 23:04:58 -0400
Subject: Re: Michelle no longer on the Factor?
I made the decision to quit appearing on the O’Reilly show in response to the poor handling of the Geraldo Rivera matter (the staged “apology” on The Factor was a complete farce). I won’t go into details, but please know that your support means a lot to me. You can catch me on other Fox News shows and read my daily blog posts and weekly columns at MichelleMalkin.com.
Best,
Michelle
All of this commotion because of a little threat that FOX News host and former journalist (zing) Geraldo Rivera made about Malkin:
Michelle Malkin is the most vile, hateful commentator I’ve ever met in my life. She actually believes that neighbors should start snitching out neighbors, and we should be deporting people. It’s good she’s in D.C. and I’m in New York. I’d spit on her if I saw her.
Gasp, folks. Gasp indeed. We’re not shocked by the spitting threat, but rather the fact that Geraldo almost sounds sensible. Or at least more sensible than Malkin, although we admit that doesn’t say very much.
Let’s look back, friends, and take a look back at Malkin versus Geraldo tape from July. There’s no spitting, but you can still see Malkin about to pop a blood vessle:
Take care, Michelle. Just because you’re not on O’Reilly anymore doesn’t mean we don’t need content at CW.

I have decided to make up for the last jibe at Pitchfork by complimenting them on their support of Black Kids and their “Wizard of Ahhs” EP. I haven’t heard this much deserved buzz about a band as I’ve heard for Black Kids in a long while. Even with only four recorded tracks, I will even go as far as to say that the EP is contemporary indie pop perfection.
“In Rainbows” may be “pay-what-you-want,” but Black Kids made their EP available unquestionably free on their MySpace page (although it’s also downloadable on iTunes, if you’re so inclined). “Wizard of Ahhs” is a brief introduction to the Jacksonville band, which is a God-honest unsigned band that is pretty much infiltrating the general indie music consciousness.
On an purely editorial note, I tested “I’m Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How To Dance With You” on the dance floor over the weekend; it definitely works.
