As I learned from my brother today, the new Survivor season has a twist. The new season will have four tribes, divided by race. All I have to say is, what could possibly go wrong? Rush Limbaugh was kind enough to put together a deep, insightful and cogent analysis of the upcoming season. Rush has all of his money (that he didn’t spend on drugs) on the Hispanics to take it.

…our early money is on [the Hispanic Tribe] anyway, because these people have shown a remarkable ability, ladies and gentlemen, to cross borders, boundaries — they get anywhere they want to go. They can do it without water for a long time. They don’t get apprehended, and they will do things other people won’t do. So, our money, early money, is on the Hispanics.

What Rush eloquently points out here, is that all Hispanics are illegal immigrants. Am I reading that wrong? He goes pretty easy on the Asian Tribe, he doesn’t even call them oriental.

The Asian — the Asian-American tribe probably will outsmart everybody, but will that help them in the ultimate survival contest?

I am not sure what exactly he wanted to say about the African American tribe. He stutters a lot when he is being stupid.

The African-American tribe, tough to handicap on this one, because you just — it’s — it’s — there are many characteristics here that you would think give them the lead and the heads up in terms of skill and athleticism and so forth.

…

I mentioned the swimming comment only because it’s not going to be fair if there is a lot of water competition in this. It just isn’t. It is not a racial or racist comment at all.

His analysis points out that the White Tribe will get the raw end of the deal, as they always do.

The white tribe put everybody else on some kind of benefit program, but the benefit program, of course, will not be enough.

To understand this last comment, you have to realize that Rush, apparently, does not believe that any minorities pay taxes. But that is not a racial or racist comment at all.

So, whatever you do, please don’t use this one example to say that the Republican Party has had a little bit of a racism problem lately.

I have always said that the best ideas come from Italian porn movies. Well, here is more proof that my theory just may be correct. First written by Piero Umilani in 1968, Mah NÃ Mah NÃ remains incredibly popular.

It has been on The Office, The Benny Hill Show, Dr. Pepper ads and has been sung by everyone from Sandra Bullock to Cake.

By far, the best version has to be the one by Bip Bipadotta and two Anything Muppet girls.

Joe Lieberman, Connecticut’s senator for the past 18 years, has been getting to me lately. For those of you who do not spend your time watching Connecticut Democratic Primary races and results I thought I would do a little review on where I think the guy went wrong.

I was never a really huge Joe fan to be honest. Yeah, he was the VP nominee back in 2000 (even though he kept running for his senate seat at the same time), but that was back when democrats were trying to prove that they were not the party of blowjobs. Nothing about Joe Lieberman makes you think he gets blowjobs. His voting record looks OK, but when it came down to the really important things; Schiavo, Alito, the war in Iraq, he really went the wrong way . What really pushed him over the edge was this statement :

“It’s time for Democrats who distrust President Bush to acknowledge that he will be the commander in chief for three more critical years, and that in matters of war we undermine presidential credibility at our nation’s peril.”

That made me wonder, why not tell the president that it is at our nations peril every time he undermines his own credibility? No, instead Joe decides to tell Democrats not to oppose the President. Saying the President can’t handle the War on Terror or Iraq is to the nations peril? Because really, nobody wants an “opposition” party.

To be fair, that statement helped Joe create history. He managed to do what nobody in politics can do, lose as an incumbent. He is one of four incumbents to lose their parties nomination in the last 26 years. This is the one place I like where Joe is going. If he manages to get one less incumbent re-elected, then I am all for it. But, his first move after losing the Democratic primary to his challenger Ned Lamont was so Kevin Federline-esque, it is amazing. Nobody wanted Joe at their party, so he started one all his own! Joe is still running, just under the Team Connecticut Party. Nobody can kick him out of the Team Connecticut Party. He should have called it “The Federation Records Party”. So that is the plan, run in the primary, and if you lose, just say you are not a Democrat.

I thought he was bad as a democrat, but he has gotten worse as a republican, he just started acting stupid.

“If we just pick up like Ned Lamont wants us to do, get out by a date certain, it will be taken as a tremendous victory by the same people who wanted to blow up these planes in this plot hatched in England,” Mr. Lieberman said at a campaign event in Waterbury, Conn. “It will strengthen them, and they will strike again.

Come on Joe! Everyone knows that Al-qaeda only supports Green and Reform Party candidates. He seems here to be suggesting that the 60% of Americans who want us out of Iraq are strengthening terrorists. I really believe that people are not confusing what is going on in Iraq with the War on Terror. I’d appreciate if Joe could spell out the connection between Iraq and the recent arrests in Britain. Oh, and taking talking points from old men who shoot people in the face? Way to keep yourself relevant. This is the kind of stuff that gave Cheney an 18 point approval rating.

I really hope this guy loses his Senate seat. I am hoping this will start to change the whole “both parties are the same” idea. When Democrats start acting like Republicans have been, Democrat voters get rid of them. Lieberman’s Presidential campaign’s “Joementum” in 2004 should have told him that people didn’t like what he was saying. Even if he did manage a three way tie for third place in one state.

The story

The 18-year-old actor was charged Thursday with misdemeanor counts of driving under the influence, marijuana possession and driving under the influence with the special allegation of having a blood-alcohol content of .15 percent or higher. He also faces a vehicle code infraction of being under the age of 21 and driving with a blood-alcohol level of .05 or greater.

When reached for comment, Osment should have said, “What the fuck did you expect? I am 18 and have no limit on my credit cards. Alcohol and a little pot? You should just be happy I am not doing blow off the ass of that Hermione chick from the Harry Potter movies.”

The first reaction I had was a mix of why is anybody surprised and why was he driving a ‘95 Saturn?
