Guy playing with action figures + youtube = awesome
Yeah, I don't get the math either, but you can't argue with results.

Maine: Your next big vacation destination.
Did you know it was legal for women to go topless in Maine? Yeah, me neither. But apparently, not only is it legal, but there was a protest aimed at making topless women in public socially acceptable.
Quote of the day comes from the protest's organizer, in relation to what were probably just supporters documenting the occasion for posterity.
And I say there's really no reason to tell them.

Simoneau, for one, had no regrets. She encouraged other women to take up the cause. And she said she wasn't going to let camera-toting men ruin her day, either.OK, obviously her keeping her top on would prevent people from taking pictures for prurient interest. You know that. I know that. These folks don't know that.
"Unfortunately, there's no way to deal with people taking pictures for prurient interest, but I feel the best way to deal with that is to just ignore it," she said.

The question is: "How can we out-dipshit ourselves?"
The questioners: The band of happy little closet dwellers at the Westboro Baptist Church.
The Answer: Protest the funeral of Ronnie James Dio.
They accuse Dio of worshipping the devil. You know, if it doesn't violate the First Amendment for them to protest the funeral, it probably wouldn't violate the First Amendment to stand right next to them and play Dio songs. Really, really loud Dio songs.
Like this one.

Wait, what now?
California taxes cause Captain America to flee to Europe.
Apparently the Captain America movie will be shot in London, because London is offering bigger tax breaks than California. Captain America, of course, being a good capitalist, is all over that. Besides, as a WWII vet, I'm sure Cap has a soft spot for the Brits.
We could try to reciprocate and swipe one of their heroes, but I don't think a Captain Britain movie is likely to be as big a box-office hit.

Does this sound dirty to anyone else, or is it just me?

It may be a throwaway pro wrestling post, but two posts in one day is still good, right?
WWE fan arrested for threatening to blow up the WWE's headquarters. His reason? He was allegedly upset over the release of diva Mickie James.
Mickie James is now coming out with a country music CD. Country music is very popular with the kind of people who attend Tea Parties.
Note to MSNBC - You're welcome.

Dawn Summers has a post about the improbability of "opposites attract" relationships working out. As she says:

Now, if one is talking about "anti-you" or "opposite," it depends on what you're talking about. If you're http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judge_Dredd and the opposite you're thinking about is Judge Death, yeah, you probably have a serious compatibility problem. Especially when Judge Death, in between bouts of trying to kill you, keeps gloating about not having to be in that crappy-ass movie. (Seriously, Rob Schnieder?) But Superman and Batman are opposites too, in powers, methods, and general outlook on life, and they actually work well together. (I have to switch from Judge Dredd to the Justice League because I don't know enough about the Judge Dredd comic books to come up with good analogies. I mean, come on, you think I'm some kind of geek?)
...
...
Don't answer that.
I've posted before about having married someone who wouldn't vote for me, in posts I can't find and am too lazy to search for. On one hand, you can think we're "opposites," because each of us believes in things the other is sure would doom us as a nation. To recap, she really, really wanted to vote for John Edwards. (Serious question for anyone who ever supported Edwards. How did that guy not redline your douchebag detector the moment he opened his mouth?) That we are too far opposite each other is certainly one way of looking at it. The other way is that you actually have a shared interest in politics, current events, and your different views actually help keep a conversation going. I, for one, always felt sorry for people who agreed too much. I mean, what exactly do they talk about?
And cut to the police car arriving.
My point, though, is that while obviously an enemy isn't someone you can really connect with, the thing that people forget is someone who's interested in the same things you are, but approaches them from a different view, isn't really an enemy.
At least, they didn't use to be.
It’s not just about politics either. If someone is truly your anti-you. They are AGAINST YOU! Take that in!I presume responding in a post on my own blog rather than commenting on Dawn's is an "anti-Dawn" kind of thing to do, to which I can only say - here's a picture of Xander playing with poker chips.

Liberal husband: Boy, that Sarah Palin sure is dumb.
Liberal wife: Yep. Dumb as a brick.
Liberal husband: Couldn't agree more.
(Long pause)
Liberal husband: Wouldn't kick her out of bed, though.
