Scurry to Anchorage ‘06

In Alaska, the gubernatorial race has taken a few strange turns. There is now a golden retriever in the race. The dog’s name is Brinkley, and Brinkley’s owner needs a hobby.

And yes, this really is a real story.

Pun time:
–There’s one candidate who’s sure to fetch a lot of votes.
–Talk about wagging the dog.
–When Brinkley sees pork politics, he screams, IT’S BACON!
–Bet on this dog in the race.
–This is one dogged campaign.

It’s shilling time

I suppose that I have no scruples. The Sci-Fi Channel has the entire pilot for The Amazing Screw-On Head on its website. Get at least halfway through the show, and it’s pure money. After watching it today, I wholeheartedly support the show, as David Hyde Pierce is a show stealer. And a zombie.

Coincidentally enough, it’s not too different of a role from what he played in Frasier.

South Park dodges "Tom Cruise stink"

This press conference is why Matt Stone and Trey Parker deserve your praise, idolization, and virgin daughters (I plan to have three, so we can each have one).

Key quote: “Stone said they dodged the news media back in May when the ‘Trapped’ episode was scrubbed because ‘you didn’t want to be in a headline with him and start getting that Tom Cruise stink on you,’ even though they were on the other side of the argument.”
