Tales of a Shrink

I stayed up past my bedtime to watch Elusive Peace: Israel and Arabs, a documentary about peace negotiations between Israel and Palestine last night, which was fascinating. I learned that Bush told Palestinian leaders that he is on a mission from God to change the face of the Middle East. The White House denies this, but who are you going to trust... George W. Bush, or the Palestinian Authority? (Well, actually, that's kind of a toss-up.) Go here to read the story.

Funny, but not safe for work.

The classic War of the Worlds, in 30 seconds and re-enacted by bunnies.

A Jesus-themed milti-tool. It even has a fish-hook remover, which is, you know, ironic or something.

Very realistic video of plants with eyes, tentacles, and beaks. Creepy.

Update: I didn't see this one before, but I think it warrants editing the blog.

If you're following Detroit politics (and why wouldn't you??), you know that the current Mayor, Kwame Kilpatrick (nickname: "Hip-Hop Mayor"), has taken a lot of heat over the past for years for corruption, inept government, and cronyism. Perhaps he wants to be president someday. Anyway, the election is just a couple of weeks away, and Kilpatrick is trailing way behind the competition, so he's desperate for anything that portrays him in a positive light. To that end, he is trumpeting his most recent endorsement--from beauty salons and barber shops. That's right... the same people who gave us The Undisputed Hair Salon and Mr. T's Grooming Center are endorsing Kwame for mayor. Go here for the story.
