If the leader of our democracy is a jerk, and we put him there…

I have been known to write at length on American politics, but I’ll spare you this time.  I’d rather get a bit visual:

Something (awful) for the weekend

I like to say goodnight to Sunday with a bang, and here it is.

Genius.

You see kids, stealing can be fun.  If it wasn’t for terrible, blog-inspired theft, I might never have found my new favourite version of “Runnin’ with the Devil”.

Someone pitched Seagal on a train. Someone bought it.

I want to thank the very cool people over at Draplin Design Co. for making me aware of an online archive of every movie poster, ever.
As promised, they ruined my week.  My favourite thing about the archive is that I can now save valuable time the next time I want to post something ridiculous/awesome like [...]

Now I’m just cheating…

Don’t worry, I plan to actually write again, but I had to link to this, because… well, I feel it’s self-evident.

I am really really tired but for the sake of cheaply avoiding not writing in the blog for two days, here’s a fine piece of blatant reposting:
