AmericanIdle DaBoyZ gone Idle

It was just a matter of time before we all underwent psychoanalysis. The only real question was whether it was going to be some FBI study on the criminally insane or perhaps a more altruistic university research grant in hopes of improving humanity (by preventing future generations from growing up to become like us). At Typeanalyzer.com you can have any blog assessed and psychologically profiled. More on AmericanIdle.org after the jump.

This episode may be even funnier than the original Robot Chicken Star Wars show. Seth MacFarlane is back in three clips as the voice of Emperor Palpatine. All good stuff. [Adult Swim - Robot Chicken Star Wars II - full episode]

This was posted on Wonkette and I had to bring it over here after watching it. [236.com New World Order]
'Yes, America's new flag is just a white flag, but there's a picture of a burning American flag on it.'

Human Rights Campaign developed this exhaustive list of companies and how they relate to 'the homosexual agenda'. (I have not received a single memo or newsletter regarding THA and to be honest I'm a bit bummed). It's very straight(ha!)-forward: good comapnies are listed in green, less tolerant ones in red and yellow for in the middle. The 17 page PDF is available here. Special thanks to Colin for bringing this to my attention.

Man, even with increasingly obvious hints that this was a hoax she just continued to go along with it. This is both funny and painful. [Daily Kos]

So California, as usual, has a litany of bond proposals and propositions and so forth in addition to the national stuff. There are dozens of these props and bonds and on top of that I don't really know much of who is running for city council, supervisor, etc. here in San Francisco. A lot of people seem to get info from the local newspapers but I'm skeptical because I don't know who is paying what for advertising. So, here are a few sites I have found that I'm browsing over. If anyone living in California has other suggestions of where to look for real information, I'd appreciate it if you posted links.
First up: [SPUR - San Francisco Urban Development Research] This group seems to be composed mostly of architects and civil engineers who look at urban development in a more European way. IE, growth without sprawl and generally in a Green way. I trust these guys a bit more than the Sierra Club, which although well-intentioned can be a little too over-the-top at times.
Next, League of Women Voters. They've been around for a while and seem to do their research. They also are non-partisan and do not accept money from anyone.
Last up is San Francisco Tenant's Union. Some of you own property (lucky bastards) but I still rent so I took a peek here.
Any other suggestions please add on in the comments.

Ted Stevens is found guilty of all seven corruption charges. Yes, he will probably die of old age before the numerous appeals are done and yes, he probably won't do any real time even if he doesn't. Still, I wouldn't put it past him to implicate Palin in exchange for a plea bargain. [ABC News]

'Of course, not all conservative bloggers are convinced that Todd is lying. As Right-Wing propaganda "media watchdog" organization Newsbusters helpfully points out, there's actually nothing suspicious about Todd's wound if we simply assume that the mugger carved it into her face while she was hanging upside-down from a tree branch like a bat.' [Patriot's Quill]

Colin Powell has lost a lot of cred over the Iraq war but this is still worth listening to. Thank you General Powell, I think you make some very good points. [Meet the Press with Colin Powell]

Sarah Palin, as much as I dislike her politics, was actually a very good sport about this. [SNL featuring Sarah Palin]

People who comment on Wonkette post the most interesting links. NSFW [Nailin' Palin]

Think again. Disclaimer: This news segment comes from terrorist, Jesus slaying, sodomite, communist, abortion-loving A-rab media group Al Jazeera.

I have a new hero. At first glance this looks like just another wingnut site but after about thirty seconds you realize that the level of snark used puts Wonkette to shame. The site is exhaustive in its analysis of the Bible so if you like what you read bookmarking it is probably a good idea. I nearly pissed myself reading the Kids Page. [TrueChristian.com]

killermookie will remember this one. Here's a song made using a creative arrangement of dialogue samples from the old Speed Racer cartoon. Probably NSFW.

Well, you knew something like this had to be coming. Courtesy of Wonkette here is the Sarah Palin Debate Flowchart. (If one of you smarties wants to post the actual diagram here instead of the link go right ahead)

Oh sure, why not. Maybe the man who is arguably the most successful business investor of all time can shed some light on all this money/credit/subprime stuff. [Charlie Rose]

Wonkette fans have probably already seen this. Regardless, it's a funny preview of this year's Treehouse of Horrors.

Jon Stewart discusses the failure of the bailout... or rescue, or recovery or whatever they are calling that $700 billion these days.

So this is basically a glorified Mad Libs program that generates responses to various questions. You can find some really good ones if you have a few minutes. [InterviewPalin]

So we've dealt with a lot of DOOM! here this week so maybe it's time for a little perspective so we can actually enjoy this weekend.
