Chromeo’s remix of Treasure Fingers’ “Cross the Dancefloor” hit iTunes, and it is fantastic. I am totally shocked at how bulletproof their music is- they can do no wrong with any of their music I’ve heard. Don’t take my word for it- check it out for yourself. To hear them is to become an instant fan.

What a debate. Not since the days of Super Mario Bros has so much national attention been fixated on a plumber. Joe better enjoy his 15 minutes, and hopefully he can parlay the attention into purchasing the Plumbing company he works for- Newell Plumbing and Heating. If he does, then he will finally have to get his plumbing license.

Apparently he is enjoying his 15 minutes, because he is keeping silent on who he will vote for. Why does this sound familiar? Ohh….This is turning into the movie “Swing Vote“. Sigh. One more month, one more month. Keep telling yourself that, and maybe the election hoopla will just pass by quietly. Fingers crossed!!

I love Wired magazine. In fact, I recently extended my subscription through the next three years. So when I received a letter from Wired, I excitedly thought through all the possibilities. Perhaps it was a simple ‘thank you’ form letter. Maybe it was some sort of special offer. Perhaps even a gift. Nope- just an offer to subscribe to Wired. Huh?!? I should’ve known better.

Is it September yet? What?! October already?! Holy @#$%! Sorry for the delay. As I emerge from my sleep chamber, I figure I would look back at some of the news we missed.

My last post looked at Obama’s Vice Presidential pick and speculated on McCain’s choice. By now, Sarah Palin is firmly ingrained in America’s consciousness. We were all thrown for a loop- she’s certainly no Waldorf or Statler.

I congratulated Mad Men for its Emmy nominations, and now I get to congratulate the show for its ‘best drama’ win! Congrats to the cast & crew who bring us this terrific show! Cheers to you and to the upcoming adventures at Sterling Cooper.

I made a joke at Clay Aiken’s expense back in July. After his coming-out, the joke may be in poor taste. But seriously- did you see that picture?

June’s Ghost in a Bottle post was outright cynical, and I have since realized the error of my ways. My bottle arrived last week and I can confirm that it contains mischievous spirits. Yeah right- I wouldn’t waste money on that crap. Maybe Chinese baby formula, though.

Alright- well there’s a wrapup of the last few weeks. See you in December. (kidding!)
