GI Joe (Gone Insane)

September 18, 2008. In an interview on ABC’s “Good Morning America,” Biden said wealthier taxpayers would indeed pay more under the proposals of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama. Under his plan, people earning more than $250,000 a year would pay more in taxes while those earning less — the vast majority of American taxpayers — would receive a tax cut.

“We want to take money and put it back in the pocket of middle-class people,” Biden said. Of those who would pay more, he said: “It’s time to be patriotic … time to jump in, time to be part of the deal, time to help get America out of the rut.”

Shut up, Joe. You are a f*#%ing idiot.

September 10, 2008 "Make no mistake about this," Biden responded. "Hillary Clinton is as qualified or more qualified than I am to be vice president of the United States of America. Let’s get that straight. She’s a truly close personal friend, she is qualified to be president of the United States of America, she’s easily qualified to be vice president of the United States of America, and quite frankly, it might have been a better pick than me. But she’s first rate, I mean that sincerely, she’s first rate, so let’s get that straight."

Wait, keep talking, Joe. You are a f*#%ing idiot.

I am rubber and you are glue. Whatever you say bounces off of me and sticks to you.

Give 'em hell, veep.

Inspired by Boxhead & Roundhead

I'm inspired to dust off the blog here by some creative work I just discovered on YouTube. Heck, I was inspired enough to leave my first public comment on YouTube for anything I've EVER watched there. Figured it was worthy of reference in JabberDrew.

Conceptually and technically, I think these are flawless. There is such a sublime mix of childhood nostalgia evoked for me. The wonder and texture of Where the Wild Things Are, a Seuss-ian abstraction of shape, and the magical flourish of a Vince Guaraldi-esque soundtrack. Come to think of it, there is a certain Snoopy and Woodstock-like relationship at work there, I think.

I had the girls watch them yesterday, and it was so cool to see them instinctively respond to the subtlety of expression and nuance of gesture. For kids addicted to SpongeBob, it was really interesting to see them engage. They were as transfixed as I am. Emelie even reflected that it "was better that they don't talk"...a pretty insightful and amazing comment, I thought.

There appears to be a new one in the works, but here are the six episodes I can find to date. Enjoy...











And my favorite one...
