I still can't imagine why this song isn't already an international phenomenon.
In what hits a 5 in my dumb shit-o-meter everyone's favorite animal rights organization (who has done some wonderful things) has once again acted a fool to prove a point. PETA has requested that Ben & Jerry's (of Ben & Jerry's Ice cream) replace all of the milk used in their ice cream with human breast milk. According to PETA, that would treat humans equal to the cattle and would benefit people because of the nutrients in breast milk. PETA notes that drinking milk from one animal over another isn't actually that different, so not that weird. As far as weirdness goes, I couldn't agree more. Drinking milk from cows is incredibly odd. I mean, we're talking about an animal that eats its own shit and we're drinking milk from it (I used to do stand up comedy and the cow milk routine went on for about five minutes.)
Yesterday, Bloggasm columnist, Simon Owens, sent me an email about my brief article about Michael Moore’s latest’s film “Slackers Uprising.” He recently wrote a freelance article for PBS that profiled Robert Greenwald, the brains behind Moore’s latest movie. I thought it worth reposting here.

Melonites,
For those of you that have been following the Frost Park Chalk Offs (which take place every Friday at noon), you'll know that this past Friday sported an unprecedented prize for the loser as opposed to the victor. That's correct, to the loser goes the spoils.
The thought of losing to win, however, didn't stop the Chalkies from producing a myriad of stunning pieces.

In what we can only hope doesn't become a major development in this year's presidential campaign, Paris Hilton has responded to John McCain's widely-panned "celebrity" attack ad. It's really pretty funny, so everyone should check it out. It's worth noting, of course, that while she sounds more intelligent and articulate on energy policy than McCain, her plan makes absolutely zero sense, just in case anyone was worried that Paris had suddenly become serious. She's got some great writers, though, the line "See you at the debate, bitches!" is just awesome.
