AFL-CIO Posts tribute to Pete Seeger, screws up photo

d’oh!

I tend to think that Pete would get a kick out of it though.

I let them know about it:

 

Oy! They need to hire me; I would at least get the tributes right! 🙄

Update: Can’t be no worse than me. In the process of writing the post, I posted embed code in the visual editor! I think me and the AFL-CIO both need more coffee! 🙄

Video: Megadeth does…. a Christmas Album?!?

This is pee in the pants funny! I almost fell out of my chair laughing at this.

The Video:

The story:

On Monday night’s edition of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Megadeth appeared in a sketch promoting their upcoming Christmas album, Thrashing Through the Snow: A Very Megadeth Christmas.

Don’t worry, last-minute shoppers — it’s not a real album!

Dave Mustaine, Chris Broderick & Co. were joined by Jenny Lewis, who accompanies the band on a metal version of “Baby, It’s Cold Outside.” But we think you’ll enjoy all the holiday classics on the (again: fake) album.

I have to say that seeing Dave Mustaine… in a sweater is too funny. 😀 Anyone who knows anything remotely about Mustaine and Megadeth knows why.

Video: It’s all fun and games…..until someone gets shot in the head

D’oh!

The Story via New York Daily News:

Seconds later, a volley of bullets ring out, and the dance floor is suddenly covered in bodies.

Three people who had just been grooving to the wildly popular tune lie motionless on the ground, bleeding from their heads.

Guests scream in terror and flee the carnage as others begin tending to the wounded.

England’s The Sun reported three were killed and one wounded. The gunman was attempting to fire the AK-47 into the air in celebration, according to the paper.

The video could not be independently verified.

This happened in Yemen. 😯 Not much for gun safety there, are they? 😉

Reminds me of this here, sort of…:

Except it’s much, much worse. 😯

or this:

(on second thought, maybe not that video…)

All the more reason to… STAY SINGLE! 😯

Yes, Yes, I know….Gallows humor. 😛

Hilarity at HotAir.com

Maybe it’s because I am half asleep. But, I happened to stumble across something that almost made me fall out of my chair….laughing!

I happen to follow my RSS Reeder’s feed over to HotAir.com and was reading the story. This when I noticed the ad, up there on the right side, top.

Increase your made man hood at Hotair.com! :lol:
Increase your made man hood at Hotair.com!

I really realize that HotAir.com does not have control over those ads. But, I never expected to see that kind of ad, with a woman who sort of, kind of, in a way…..looks like Michelle Bachmann.

Too funny! 😀

What some people do for money

This one just makes me shake my head….

The Story:

Shepard Smith, the endlessly endearing (and easily angered) Fox News anchor, has likened the right-wing channel to a “family,” with president Roger Ailes as its domineering father. Which makes it only slightly awkward that in early 2012, the 49-year-old anchor started courting an attractive young production assistant who worked under him on Fox Report With Shepard Smith. Now they are a couple.

Gawker has learned that Smith is dating a 26-year-old Penn State grad and Fox Business producer named Giovanni “Gio” Graziano. According to multiple sources with knowledge of their relationship, the couple met sometime after Graziano started working at Fox Report in October 2011 as a production assistant. He’s the man with whom Smith frequents Bathtub Gin.

“Yes, that’s Shepard’s boyfriend,” Katya Minskova, the Bathtub Gin waitress Smith berated in March, confirmed to Gawker when shown a photo of Graziano. Another source who had seen them together at the Chelsea speakeasy confirmed Graziano’s identity as well. Both sources say they saw Graziano and Smith together at the bar on multiple occasions, and that they appeared to be romantically involved.

While Smith and Graziano’s boss Roger Ailes, a notorious homophobe, was apparently kept in the dark about the relationship—“higher ups had no idea,” a source close to Graziano said—the pair doesn’t appear to have gone to great lengths to keep the workplace romance from their co-workers.

I know, I said I was going to clean my act up here a bit; but this one here, is just too darned easy:

This story just brings this little pre-rap days tune to mind, this is from 1984:

Others doin’ it for the money :  Erik Wemple, Joe. My. God. and The Other McCain

Obviously they did not ask me this poll question!

Personally, I would take the sex myself. 😀

Our love of coffee is so strong most people would rather have a caffeine fix when they first wake up than sex, a new survey has found.

The study by Le Méridien hotel group discovered that 53 per cent of its guests favored coffee over sex as the perfect way to start the day.

The research showed worldwide addiction to coffee was so great 78 percent of respondents would abstain from alcohol, social media or sex with their partner for a year rather than miss out on coffee for the same amount of time.

In other news: Shepard Smith spaces out, and AllahPundit admits the obvious

First Shep:

and Allahpundit:

In an age where the hallmark of bleeding-edge tech is smallness, he chose to boldly go where no anchor has gone before with 55-inch touchscreens, which must be murder on the eyes of the staffers huddled over them two feet away. I will say, though, that the sheer volume of content they appear to be sifting through reminds me a lot of the evolution of the blogging experience over the last six or seven years. At first I was a cable-news and RSS man; then came Facebook; then came Twitter; and amid it all, new news sites and blogs worth monitoring seemed to sprout up every day. Trying to juggle it all while cranking out posts sort of feels like the bit here where Shep starts scrolling aimlessly through remote video feeds while keeping up a semi-coherent monologue. So there’s my official excuse for half-assed content going forward. It’s not that I’m an idiot, I’m just really distracted. (And kind of an idiot.)

Heh. I have no commentary for that one. 😆
