My family are big fans of Weird Al - the way I remember the story is that he tries to get permission from the original artist. Maybe he goes ahead and does the parody if they say “no” anyway. I read somewhere that Kurt Cobain said that he knew he had made it when Weird Al did the parody of “Teen Spirit”.
Off subject. This storm coming up the East Coast could play havoc with the football games Saturday. Good day to stay inside and watch with a beer.
Thanks for the link on the Nigerian/Obama Campaign money scandal. I did some research on Dr. (Mrs.)Okereke-Onyiuke and she is a real piece of work. She was arrested on money laundering in 2006....and still in charge of the Nigerian Stock Exchange!!!
SARAHACUDA WILL BE THE FIRST WOMAN PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES....and Everybody knows it even if they won’t admit it!
Are there games tomorrow?
Weather.com says the storm comes through tomorrow.

You think that’s bad?
I love to monitor this atheist’s blog for quotes. This is the latest from P Z Myers:

Palin scares me, but what worries me more is that we will screw up again and hand the executive office over to another gang of losers, and we can’t afford that anymore. Now look at the open thread http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2008/09/palin_open_thread.php I set up last night, and you’ll see why I’m concerned. What did people do? They got distracted by irrelevancies, such as the opportunity to exercise a little macho sexism, and then that turned into a nasty, full-blown knife fight with everyone snarling at each other. This is exactly what the Republicans want, writ small on this little tiny island of the blogosphere.
That’s not how we’re going to beat back the troglodytes.
Palin is a stalking horse for failed social and economic and military policies. We don’t want to get drawn away from the important message of defeating those bad policies by the temptation of cheap shots at her appearance and sex, especially because those cheap shots make her look like a sympathetic victim and help advance the Republican agenda.
So please, think. Casual sexism plays into the hands of the bad guys on both sides. What frightens me most is that Palin got up and lied and said nothing of substance, and people are so distracted by the fact that she has breasts that the lies were allowed to slide by. This is how the Democrats can self-destruct, once again.

You finally got one right, PZ. This IS how you will lose.
Even totally united behind Gore in 2000 and Kerry in 2004 you couldn’t beat a dumbass draft dodging reborn alcoholic George “Shrub” Bush and his snake-oil sidekick Dick Cheney of all people. That’s pretty pathetic. This round you’ve got an even worse candidate that half of your own party thinks stole the nomination by cheating and dirty politics. Your party is shattered up the middle and you have the worst candidate in all the decades I’ve been paying attention. I knew Jack Kennedy and your nominee, PZ, is no Jack Kennedy.
Now the culture war is still on, the players are all the same on both sides, except this time we have an honest-to-God centrist war hero, even if he is an elitist beltway insider, and a little unheard of cutie, obviously a political savant, who in 30 minutes won the hearts and minds of every heretofore apathetic God fearing blue collar flyover family all across the nation and made them start caring about who wins this election not to mention is stealing a lot of the Hillary voters who wanted nothing more than a woman in the Whitehouse. If McCain wins then Palin, sooner or later, is going to become the first woman president of the United States as by the time she’s up for election to the top spot there won’t be any question of lack of experience. You are basically looking at teh American Margaret Thatcher. Get used to her. She’s going to be in your face for the next 16 years. It’s all over except for the tears and anger from your side that you were f*cked yet again. Write that down.
Only in the event of lightning. A deluge of rain could come and it will still be “PLAY BALL!”. If you ask me, those games are even more interesting to watch.
That picture of his low tires is a hoot.
Thanks.
LOL—Obama called them the “Niddley Lions”?
That picture of his low tires is a hoot.
Thanks.
damn skippy!
LOL Obama LOL!
MSNBC guest Congressmen Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) ”we know what Obama’s judgment on these issues, he’s been asked questions on the campaign trail”
was that something like clinging to guns and God??
Sure wish it would make a left over the mountains. Trees here in North-Central WV are starting to take on Oct. colors.
I doubt Hillary wants to admit it.
