the blog quebecois

Via Tim Blair, one of the funniest things I've seen lately.

Actually, the funniest thing I've ever seen I just wrote and then I lost it in a browser crash.

Trust me. It was hilarious.

If you haven't seen it yet, check out Allah Is In The House. It's as politically incorrect as you can get; and it's also as funny as hell.

I also think that the professional Muslim whiners are going to try to get it shut down, and I'll also bet that Blogspot caves.

The Vacation President by Susan Madrak

Vacation, all I ever wanted
Vacation, had to get away
Vacation, meant to be spent alone
"Vacation," GoGos

He's away again. He's away a lot, and always when something challenging is happening - say, when the country we invaded is sort of falling apart. His people insist it's always a "working vacation," but still. Could he be a little less insensitive to the rest of us? I mean, I haven't had a real vacation in five years.

"But Suze, you've been unemployed for at last half of the last three years. Isn't that a vacation? What do you need a vacation from?" asked one of my friends in a rather snippy voice. (She's an Aries, and thinks a vacation is a sign of weakness.)

In boxing terms, this is I believe described as "leading with your chin."

Rick Mercer as quoted in the National Post:

I ask you: Is there anything more pathetic than sitting indoors while the sun is shining reading a blog written by Monte Solberg?

Why, yes; yes there is: reading Rick Mercer's blog.

Shock-comic Tom Green once had Drew Barrymore. Now he's got a blóg. Make of that what you will.

Apart from a few clips on TV, I've never seen Green's act. But he did manage to make Mike Bullard sick to his stomach once, so that's gotta count for a few points.

Ken Jennings, primarily known for his 74-game, $2.5 million run on Jeopardy, has now embarked on the road to certain stardom: Yes, he's started a blog.

It's actually a pretty good one; witness this post about an all-too-common problem.

Hanan at Grow-A-Brain recently had his 5-millionth hit and is celebrating with a contest of sorts: Leave a comment, even just a "Hello!" at this post. When he gets 500 comments, he'll select one at random and give $100 to that person. Really.

There's still about 100 spots available, so get cracking.

Al of Londoun ys aflame wyth newes of the grete entertaynment of 'Serpentes on a Shippe,' the which ys perfourmed ech daye by the menne of the gild of beekeeperes (and thus ys ycleped a 'b-movie'). Ich haue just nowe retourned from a trippe to see yt wyth Litel Lowys and Tommy Vske. Whan ich was ther, Tommy founde for me a copye of the romaunce in fyve chapteres on whiche the performaunce ys based, and Ich shal pooste yt heere for yower redyge. (This writer hath a verye good style - ich am reallye jealous. Oon daye, peraventure, ich shalle write sum thyng of Arthur; and yet, the matir of Troye hath alwey ben easier for me.)

If you couldn't get enough of The Canterbury Tales in English 101, good news; Chaucer's got a blog. (On Blogger, the cheapskate.)

Old Geoff's keeping up wyth the tymes, thogh. His Amazon Wish List includes NWA's Straight Outta Compton and the first season DVD of Pimp My Ride.

In trying to summarize Iowahawk's satirical vision, filtered through note-perfect parodies of pop culture, I usually give up after the third beer or so and just recommend you go read the whole thing. In this case, from his archives, the evisceration of Ward Churchill, the Grey Owl of our time. (With the proviso that Owl more-or-less comported himself honorably.)
