Dude, I don't even know.

Daily Show: Hypocrisy and sexism

Now that there is a female vice presidential nominee for the Republican party, many are changing their tunes. As always, the Daily Show is there to highlight political folly and to document blatant hypocrisy with video evidence.

Who you gonna call?

People magazine is reporting that Dan Aykroyd and Bill Murray are working on Ghostbusters III. In other news, the Catholic church has moved the Holy Ghost to and undisclosed location.

It's alive! The Honda Insight returns to the land of the living

After introducing America to the first hybrid sold here in 1999, Honda eventually laid to rest the Insight model in 2006. Since then, Toyota's Prius hybrid has taken the market, and Honda is resurrecting the Insight, replete with a full redesign including more room.

Tired of ridiculous energy bills? Then use those old "wood scraps, yard waste, and corn cobs" etc. you have lying around the backyard to your fiscal and metaphysical advantage.

Gustav threatens GOP convention

Hurricane Gustav is showing that while he may not be a Democrat, he's certainly not a Republican as he threatens to disrupt the RNC Convention in St. Paul, Minnesota this week. Looks like the Focus on the Family voodoo practitioners accidentally got their "God bless the GOP" and "God rain down thy fury upon the Democratic Convention" prayers mixed up.

Divine justice? I won't go quite so far, but it is certainly a healthy dose of irony for the week.
