Compliments of Shasta via YouTube. One take, top shot videoclip for the band zZz’s song Grip.

Happy birthdays this week to O-Town (the mirror), the Rocket (the kindred), Mace (the reality) and my brother Anand (the knowledge): I can’t live without you, and I’m blessed you keep on living with me.

Steve Smith recently released the sweet new v3.0 of his silky smooth CSS2-basedWP Tiger Administration plug-in for Wordpress. Quick install revamps the whole admin area UI for your Wordpress installation.

If you don’t know what I’m talking about…don’t worry. Folks usually don’t. But if you do…go download it and revel in the fact it doesn’t even come close to working in IE.

Rod Wheeler, ex-DC cop and current Fox News commentator, was recently allowed to report via Bill O’Reilly’s televised forum:

“Well, you know, there is this national underground network, if you will, Bill, of women that’s lesbians and also some men groups that’s actually recruiting kids as young as 10 years old in a lot of the schools in the communities all across the country…And they actually carry a number of weapons. And they commit a number of crimes.”

Cop Rod goes on to report that these killer lesbian gangs are recruiting straight kids, turning them gay through forced sexual acts and then turning armies of killer kiddie dykes upon unsuspecting, upstanding midwesterners.

In addition to the mid-60’s era stock footage of teenage white girls smoking Kools and waving box cutters, I believe the Bride of Frankenstein and oompa loompas are also mentioned as being involved:

Hi, media watch dog groups? It’s me, Margaret. Isn’t there some sort of “The First Amendment Wasn’t Intended to Protect National News Outlets from Alerting the Masses that Santa Claus Exists and Is Also a Child-Sodomizing Vampire” legislation we can lobby to outlaw this sort of ludicrous pseudo-news theatre?

C’mon dude. Freedom of speech can only go so far. If this ain’t the homophobic equivalent of crying ‘Fire!’ in a crowded movie house, I don’t know what else would qualify. Fox News is no longer just creating a slightly warped reality for uneducated Americans to believe in…they’ve traveled far, far past the point of harmless xenophobic fiction. They’re now unabashedly & maliciously promoting hatred based on sexual preference.

Next on a very special Fox News exclusive report: Cop Rod has a tail and horns he hides under his afro!
