10 Things to Think About on a Friday

Not a bad week, was it folks? I had cocktails and oysters at Kingfish on Monday, followed by a Skylark trip, said goodbye to 425 on Tuesday night, enjoyed the couch on Wednesday night and had pho on Thursday. What better way to get to Friday, PFest and an entire weekend off? None I say, none! While you're limping along like a limp puppy towards 5pm, here's a few things to ponder, and of course, given the time of year and the year itself, quite a few election related things here...

1) Radiohead has finally released figures on what it made from its famous In Rainbows online release. What I find interesting is that even though most people downloaded it for free, it still made more money than 2003's Hail to the Thief.

2) I mentioned a few weeks ago that we had the new and widely anticipated Dr. Dre album to look forward to in the next few months. Turns out Eminem's Relapse isn't far behind...

3) I love eating. But how many of you could realistically even dream of eating a 15 POUND burger?

4) It's good to see that even in the midst of this election, McCain and Obama can joke around with each other. I especially like Obama's comment about being able to see the Russian Tea Room...

5) So let me get this straight...McCain and Obama mention Joe the Plumber like 40 times in the debate on Wednesday. Joe the Plumber can't buy his business under the Barack Obama tax plan. But wait a second...he isn't a licensed plumber, and he owes the state of Ohio back taxes? Did McCain actually even meet this guy?

6) McCain, run a negative ad? No way! He wouldn't do that. He told us in the debate that he was not running an negative campaign. He wouldn't lie to us. Of course, no one ever said that automated calls attempting to tie Obama to a terrorist were negative!

7) McCain to YouTube: "You need to treat politicians, especially my campaign, different from your other users. After all, I could be President one day." YouTube to McCain: "Go fuck yourself."

8) Note to strip club patrons...watch out for flying shoes.

9) At first I thought this was just a picture...then I realized that different things happen when you click on items...nothing like playing around in Sarah Palin's oval office...

10) A word to the wise...if you're going to break up with someone and change your relationship status on Facebook, make sure you haven't been dating a murderous maniac.

That's it. PFest here we come.
