One messed up drawing. Honestly, I can’t believe somebody would actually do that whole thing in MS Paint. That would probably take me 20 years.

GOP More Satisfied with Sex Lives than Dems
Among the questions getting answered in an upcoming Primetime Live special:
Of those involved in a committed relationship, who is very satisfied with their relationship?
Republicans ? 87 percent; Democrats ? 76 percent
Who is very satisfied with their sex life?
Republicans ? 56 percent; Democrats ? 47 percent
The poll analysis also reveals who has worn something sexy to enhance their sex life:
Republicans ? 72 percent; Democrats ? 62 percent
When asked whether they had ever faked an orgasm, more Democrats (33 percent) than Republicans (26 percent) said they had.
Democrats are more likely to fake it, ‘eh? <flamebait>I’m willing to bet that Republicans are more likely to lie on surveys like this, but the Dems are always worried about identity so they’re probably more likely to fake it so they can look good</flamebait>. Really, they’re both just screwed up.
Thanks Josh for the link.

New York Times Comes to Bend
I think this New York Times article perfectly describes what I miss about Bend:
According to the author William Kittredge, who grew up on a ranch in southeastern Oregon, “Out West we see a society in the midst of reinventing itself.” In Bend the transformation is complete. The last of the huge sawmills closed a decade ago. In its place are a Victoria’s Secret and an outdoor amphitheater. Hardware stores are hard to find; Pilates instructors are not. In short, in Bend it is out with the old and in with the New West.
I miss the old style of this town. I miss my old hardware stores (nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing, can replace Masterson St. Claire). I miss being able to ski and golf here for less than $20 for each. I miss being able to walk through Drake Park at night and not fear for my life. I miss not having jackass neighbors. I miss my old diners. I miss my small town.
I do like some of the stuff they’re doing to Bend, some of the stores that are opening, but I can’t say that I can afford any of it. Maybe it’s just some of the elitist attitude around here that bothers me. Maybe I just need to quit my complaining and whining and go back to work. Yeah, that’s the ticket.
The Keyboard for Chatroom/IM Idiots
I think the best feature about this keyboard layout is that it doesn’t include an “@” so the idiots that talk like that can’t e-mail anybody. Link via b3ta.
Kids Watch Too Much TV
Are we going to have to start advertising veggies on TV so that when a kid sees a carrot, they actually know what the heck it is?
“Sir, Have You Been Drinking Tonight?”
I’ve actually never watched Reno 911, but after seeing this hilarious video clip, I might have to start. Thanks to my parents for this link.
Wal-Mart Finally Does Something Right
If you’ve read this site long, you know my feelings about Wal-Mart, but they’re doing one thing right: They’re trying to get the major record companies to lower their prices so they can sell $10 CDs. Full Story.
Gmail Disk Drive for Windows
I already mentioned the ability to pull this off in Linux, but now somebody has made it so Gmail can appear as a drive in My Computer. Right on! Link via Waxy.
The Atkins Folks Deserve It
TGI Fridays has an Atkins-friendly menu in their restruants. The folks at Cockeyed decided they needed to replace the Atkins menus in the restruants with ones of their own. Since they were just pieces of paper behind plastic sleaves, it was not only possible, but very entertaining. They made description changes (Buffalo Wings now says “Buffalo wings with bleu cheese dressing and celery sticks. So delicious, you’ll want to throw up and eat it again.”). They even took product pictures as well for the new products they created, including products as the Bacon Churner (bacon-topped sticks of butter). They even had a disclaimer that some of their products contained animal blood. Then they sent the menus all around the country, and had some fun. Read all about it here.
