Guess who’s not going to be vice president? That’s right– South Carolina governor, Mark Sanford. The state of South Carolina should be oh-so proud, with Sanford doing his best Lauren Caitlin Upton impression. Kudos to Keith Olbermann’s Countdown for this brilliant mashup.
“Lucy, the Daughter of the Devil” (Loren Bouchard, H. Jon Benjamin) - perhaps one of the funniest shows ever to air on [adult swim]. Already done with its first season, and perhaps already done with its last season - it looks like [adult swim] may not pick “Lucy” up for a second season. Perhaps because it is a little too controversial at times: DJ Jesus (the second coming) and his love interest Lucy (the Daughter of the Devil) live the 20-something hipster life with their friend Judas, while Lucy’s father makes regular attempts to overtake the world. Plus a never-ending supply of priest jokes.
The credits of “Lucy, the Daughter of the Devil” are funnier than an entire season of “Family Guy.”
“Kick ass! If somebody tries to stop the march to democracy we will seek them out and kill them! We must be tougher than hell! This Vietnam stuff…it’s not even close! It is a mindset! We can’t send that message! It’s an excuse to prepare us for the withdrawal! This is a series of moments and this is one of them! Our will is being tested but we are resolute! We have a better way! Stay strong! Stay the course! Kill them! Be confident! Prevail! We are going to wipe them out! We are not blinking! ”

Yes, today’s the day. Take a shorter shower, ride your bike to work, and arrive late and sweaty with shampoo residue still in your hair. Or you could just watch this clip from the Daily Show– Jon Stewart is always down to put Mother Earth in her place.
“And I’ll have a vanilla . . . one of the ‘vanilla bullshit’ things. You know, whatever you want . . . some ‘vanilla bullshit latte cappa-thing’. You know, whatever you got. I don’t care.”
Last week’s episode of NBC’s “30 Rock” featured a fictitious reality TV show called “MILF Island” (clip below).
“Holy Hot Mamas!
But who will be the final Mommy You’d Like to . . . you know . . . ?
Twenty MILFs, fifty eighth grade boys, and no rules!
And tonight . . . one winner!
Welcome to MILF Island!”
It has a nice iTunes Store feel to it, but without having to buy anything - TV shows, podcasts, movie shorts, all free and all playing smoothly. I recommend you download it (it’s free!).
Also, this is perhaps the smoothest-running 1.0 version of anything I’ve ever used (apparently bug-free).
[update from Heywood]: According to you a YouTube comment, this is a clip from a British TV comedy called ‘Drop the Dead Donkey‘. Still; pretty freakin funny.
Saw it in the store and bought a bag. A note to the potential consumer: opening the bag smelled like a giant barbeque fart.

I took this screenshot after last night’s UNC-Duke men’s basketball game. Take special note of Dick Vitale’s hyperhidrotic sweat glands… I mean, who sweats through his own tie?
