Evil or stupid?

FOX News’ latest ploy is to “follow the money” on the proposed ground zero mosque. Which is all fine and good: it’s a reasonable question. But what they DON’T report is that the main funder of the proposed mosque is also a major funder of FOX News.

Job Stewart and The Daily Show reports.

From the dregs of Youtube…

Happy Monday. I offer this infected scab for your mental-picking edification. The description of this movie makes avoiding this snippet an impossibility.

“TV Movie of the Week starring Shaun Cassidy and Linda Purl. The WORST movie ever made about mentally disabled people with some of the WORST acting EVER.”

SIDE NOTE: I remember seeing this movie on The Movie of the Week when I was 9-years-old. My brother and I watched it on the old black-and-white my parents kept in a back bedroom. I never did see the ending, because it went on past my bedtime.

But my 9-year-old self thought it was sad that the couple couldn’t get married. My 40-year-old self wishes I could get those two hours of my life back.

Take anything you want. YAY!

This video is addicting. I have no understanding of why the guy is wearing his bandanna backwards, or why the cheerleaders are so happy with their declarations.

Friends, Internetters, Countrypersons: Help Build MoHA

girlmonkey — Fri, 06 Aug 2010 19:29:36 +0000

I am soliciting art. Preferably, humorous art. Or bad art with a good story.

I was listening to NPR this morning, as they interviewed the curator of the Museum of Bad Art. And the idea struck me…

Every month, Fresno hosts a monthly art experience called Art Hop. Essentially. bunch of venues pop up— whether one-time event related or permanent showings—and display art. But I feel there is something missing in this presentation: humor.

I want my venue to be different.

Let art be appreciated if it’s funny. Or off-key. Or missing the point, but that then brings up a whole new point…

I want to host a Humorous Art venue, where the art connoisseur can view quirky art—or funny art—whatever, whilst enjoying a Dixie cup of Pabst Blue and Twinkie bites. And the idea of a MoHA (Museum of Humorous Art) showing was born.

The setting will of course be very swank and high end. That’s the delicious part of the theatre of it.

My point: If you are an artist, if you have funny art, or bad art or can send bad art— PLEASE CONTACT ME.

Important: Your art must have a story. A funny story.

Looking for:

* Sculpture

* Installations

* Paintings/drawings/renderings

* Taxidermy

Interested? Contact me.

Know someone who owns bad art? Or who creates funny art? PLEASE help spread the word!

This might be the funniest thing ever; at least the funniest thing I’ve read all week. In the humble words of Peter Griffin, GET READY TO LAUGH.

Okay look, just like any other mother out there… I am over-filled with ridiculous pride when my kids do something amazing.

Case in point: This movie that was nominated at a local film festival.

I am a cat lover. And a kind person. So imagine my surprise when I realized I was horrible for laughing so hard at this.

If you’ve ever wondered why you don’t look or feel like the women in cleaning commercials, it’s probably because you’re not sexually involved with your cleaning products or wearing pearls while scrubbing tile.

Why “Herding Squirrels?”

girlmonkey — Fri, 09 Apr 2010 22:11:27 +0000

The title for this site came from something my dad used to say whenever my sisters and I got all our kids together. Trying to get a group of toddlers organized inspired a mix of desire, insanity and futility, which he likened to herding squirrels.

…And then a decade later I blend families with this awesome man. Suddenly, we have seven crazy squirrels all our own, all leaping to their own dances while my husband and I try to corral them down a path of success. Or, at least, out of our basement and away from the video games by the time they’re 40.

This video is exactly the crazy life my husband and I live. Only instead of felines, imagine vermin. Cute, skittish vermin.
