Brian McFadden is more psychopathic clown than lovable larrikin:

Brian, I do get what you’re trying to put across in this video of ‘Twisted’. “Look at me with my craaazy mates. We just went to this craaazy costume party. Now we’re going craaazy in…

I’m ‘Burnin’ Up’ for the Jonas Brothers, hee hee!:

This video is a double-cheese whammy. It’s like the video-within-the-video is intentionally “ha-ha” cheesy. But then let’s not forget this is the Jonas Brothers, who are also just…

“

Those who are lit by that passion are the object of envy among their peers and the subject of intense curiosity. They are the source of good ideas. They make the extra effort. They demonstrate the commitment. They are the ones who, day by day, will rescue this drifting ship.

They never watched the clock, never dreaded Mondays, never worried about the years passing by. They didn’t wonder where they belonged in life. They were phenomenally productive and confident in their value.

“It’s possible Chinglish will be more efficient than our version, doing away with word endings and the articles a, an, and the. After all, if you can figure out “Environmental sanitation needs your conserve,” maybe conservation isn’t so necessary.”

“I’m pretty sure I ain’t a queer. And I’ve never had queer thoughts, but I do have several queer buddies who called me and asked me to help. I think it’s blasphemy to put this on the ballot and try to divide God’s children for political gain. God loves them queers every bit that he loves the Republicans.”

“Mudcat, who describes himself as “an old-timey Democrat: pro-gun, pro-God, pro fiscal conservatism,” is tired of teaching remedial Mudcat Math to deaf ears in his own party. It can be distilled as The Twofer Strategy: If you get a rural white voter who otherwise would have voted for McCain to switch to Obama, his vote is worth twice as much as a vote from your standard “liberal pinko commie” or your MTV Rock-the-Voter, since Obama not only accrues one vote for himself, but also takes one away from McCain. Campaigns that court the base while ignoring voters who could be won over are “hunting squirrels they’ve already killed.””

Sun, 29 Jun 2008 12:53:28 +1000

“The [mainstream] media are covering so many issues as though there’s two sides to every issue. And that’s one of the problems. So instead of the main purpose, and highest goal of journalism is ferreting out the truth, suddenly it’s become let’s show you both sides, and then you make up your mind. A sort of Pontius Pilate approach to issues.”

- Ariana Huffington on one of her biggest issues with traditional media, in this conversation with Guardian’s editor Alan Rusbridger. Earlier in the talk Ariana points out that Huffington does “take a stance” on certain things.
