			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="/images/in_or_out.png"class="left" />It&#8217;s October in the San Fernando Valley. The lawns are turning brown, it&#8217;s a crisp 80 degrees and everything is on fire.</p>
<p>It can only mean one thing &#8211; time to unload a pile of German covers!</p>
<p>So here they are. Track after steaming track, laying here like so many blood sausages on a commemorative Kaiser Wilhelm platter.  Everything from show tunes to pop songs, all in German, and some even performed by the original artists!</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve got some brand new German covers I&#8217;ve never posted (and I can only apologize for being tardy to the party) and a few you&#8217;ve heard before.  But just because you suffered through it once doesn&#8217;t mean you&#8217;re off the hook.</p>
<p>And now there is nothing left to do but sit back with a tankard of <em>Doppelbock</em>, and let the melodies wash over us like so much duty-free cologne.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="/images/somers.png"class="left"><em><strong>SUZANNE SOMERS: PATRICK SWAYZE SHOULD NOT HAVE USED CHEMOTHERAPY</strong></p>
<p>Suzanne Somers thinks Patrick Swayze could have been alive today if he would have used alternative methods to treat his pancreatic cancer instead of chemotherapy.</p>
<p>The former &#8220;Three&#8217;s Company&#8221; star, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1991 and rejected chemotherapy in favor of natural treatments, told a Toronto-based columnist that it was Swayze&#8217;s chemotherapy, and not cancer, that ended his life prematurely.</p>
<p>&#8220;They took this beautiful man and they basically put poison in him,&#8221; she reportedly said.  &#8220;Why couldn&#8217;t they have built him up nutritionally and gotten rid of the toxins in his body?  I hate to be controversial.  I&#8217;m a singer-dancer-comedienne. But we have an epidemic going on, and I have to say it.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>Ok Suzanne, two things:</p>
<p><strong>1. You are not a singer-dancer-comedienne. </strong></p>
<p>Oh, you might have been one or two of those things 40 years ago, but now you&#8217;re a saggy bag of Restylane who can&#8217;t get any press unless <a href="http://www.aprilwinchell.com/2008/08/20/suzanne-and-christina/"target="left">she exploits someone else&#8217;s cancer</a>.</p>
<p><strong>2. You don&#8217;t &#8220;have to say it&#8221;.</strong></p>
<p>Not everything that limps into that shriveled cortex of yours needs to be immediately vomited out into the media.  Not only is it not responsible, it&#8217;s just none of your fucking business.</p>
<p>How do you suppose Patrick Swayze&#8217;s family feels reading this?  The people who did everything they knew to save him, who suffered countless hours watching him die, how do you think they feel hearing that world renown cancer authority Chrissy Snow thinks he was &#8220;poisoned&#8221;?  </p>
<p>You have no idea, because it never occurred to you that anyone outside of your fake wellness evangelism exists, or has any feelings at all. How dare you presume to judge the way someone manages their own cancer?  What possible business is it of yours?  You might as well be standing outside a chemo clinic with a poster of a dead baby, spewing your ignorance through a bullhorn, you selfish moron.  Why don&#8217;t you just picket his funeral? That&#8217;s got to be worth a few minutes on Larry King.</p>
<p>&#8220;Why couldn&#8217;t they have built him up nutritionally?&#8221;  Well I guess that would have been one way to go, except that YOU CAN&#8217;T FUCKING EAT ANYTHING BECAUSE YOU HAVE CANCER IN YOUR PANCREAS, YOU STUPID PIECE OF SHIT.</p>
<p><strong>3. Shut your fucking mouth, you hypocritical, disgusting fuck bag.</strong></p>
<p>Okay, I realize I that&#8217;s three things, but this last one just seemed so important.</p>

<p>There are a lot of things that are wrong with this country right now.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s an unchecked media, trafficking in fear and misinformation for profit.  Politicians more beholden to lobbyists than their constituents. A growing climate of cruelty and violence, and the death of intelligent discourse.</p>
<p>But nothing comes closer to destroying America than celebrities naming their children.</p>
<p>Think about it.  We&#8217;re not just talking about Apple and Talullah Belle and Moxie Crimefighter in group therapy in 2012. There are people in this world who are profoundly influenced by decisions the celebrities make. There are even people who subscribe to GOOP without irony. </p>
<p>That means there are people in the world <em>right now</em> who are naming their children the way the stars do. In the future, there will be entire cities of people named after household objects and types of produce.</p>
<p>&#8220;The chair recognizes Edward Cullen Cherimoya Voldemort Kardashian.&#8221;</p>
<p>Is this the future you want?</p>
<p>And while we&#8217;re on the subject of dipshit celebrities, explain this fucking quote to me:</p>
<p><center><img src="/images/cardigan.png"></center></p>
<p>Oh, okay.  Got it.  </p>
<p>I might have thought you wanted to spend your life with someone you were deeply connected to.  Someone who shared the same vision of the future.  Someone who was less invested in what your dreams were, than you actually achieving them.</p>
<p>Turns out it was all about the <em>cardigan</em>.  You and Fred Rogers.  Mazel Tov.</p>
<p>I hear they&#8217;re registered at Talbots.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="/images/911/terrorattacks.JPG"class="left">To commemorate the 8th anniversary of Patriots Day, I&#8217;m once again posting an extensive, handpicked assortment of Nine-Elevenalia.  </p>
<p>I must preface this post by saying that <strong>I did not create anything you see here</strong>. If you read my blog with any regularity, you already know I&#8217;m not that creative.</p>
<p>No, every file is real, which means I&#8217;m only the curator of this exhibit.  If you&#8217;re offended by anything you see here, or you think it&#8217;s too soon, or you knew someone who knew someone who almost died that day, or you have proof that the Jews all got an email warning them to stay home that day, or Building 7 was actually made of sugar, I don&#8217;t know what to tell you.  Start with the man in the mirror.</p>
<p>Anyway, there is a lot of crap here, so I&#8217;ve taken the liberty of grouping this garbage into the following categories:</p>
<p><img src="/images/911/categories.jpg"></p>
<p>Let&#8217;s roll!™</p>
<h2>• gifs </h2>
<p>This was probably the most prolific category of Nine-Elevenalia, and I&#8217;m not surprised.  After all, in this MySpace-age world we live in, everyone needs a sparkly way to say, &#8220;Thanks for the add!&#8221; or &#8220;Sorry your friends died in that building thingy.&#8221;</p>
<p>While there are thousands of glittery memorial snowglobes and weeping eagles on the internet, I have contented myself to show you just a handful.  Please download them and put them all over your Facebook today, if only to annoy the terrorists in your extended network.</p>
<p><center><img src="/images/911/America.gif"></center><br />

9/11: The Day America Cried.</p>
<p><center><img src="/images/911/angels.gif"></center><br />
 <img src="/images/whitespacer.jpg"><br />
Or wait, maybe it was the day the angels cried. </p>
<p><center><img src="/images/911/eagle.gif"></center><br />
<img src="/images/whitespacer.jpg"><br />
Hang on, it may have been the day the eagles cried.</p>
<p><center><img src="/images/911/eagleglobe.gif"></center><br />
<img src="/images/whitespacer.jpg"><br />
It was also the day that giant eagles sat on snow globes that covered Manhattan.</p>
<p><center><img src="/images/911/eagleremember.gif"></center><br />
<img src="/images/whitespacer.jpg"><br />
The eagles were really busy that day. </p>
<p><center><img src="/images/911/eagleflag.gif"></center><br />
<img src="/images/whitespacer.jpg"><br />
Oh, I remember all right.  Giant God damned eagles, swooping down with flags.<br />
Freaked me right the fuck out.</p>
<p><center><img src="/images/911/heroeship.gif"></center><br />
<img src="/images/whitespacer.jpg"><br />
Thanks for the &#8220;heroeship&#8221;!   </p>
<p><center><img src="/images/911/heros.gif"></center><br />
<img src="/images/whitespacer.jpg"><br />
Uh oh.  Here come the tear&#8217;s.</p>
<p><center><img src="/images/911/escort.gif"></center><br />
<img src="/images/whitespacer.jpg"><br />
They weren&#8217;t blown up.  They were <i>escorted!</i><br />
Come on, it was fun! God even gave them corsages.</p>
<p><center><img src="/images/911/godbless.gif"></center><br />
<img src="/images/whitespacer.jpg"><br />
Anyone have any idea what the hell this means?</p>
<p><center><img src="/images/911/widow.gif"></center><br />
<img src="/images/whitespacer.jpg"<br />
Classy. I think Cafe Press has this on a thong.</p>
<p><center><img src="/images/911/forgottenrose.gif"></center><br />
<img src="/images/whitespacer.jpg"><br />
NEVER FORGOTTEN.</p>
<p><center><img src="/images/911/myname.gif"></center><br />
<img src="/images/whitespacer.jpg"><br />
NEVER FORGET YOUR NAME.</p>
<p><center><img src="/images/911/potter.gif"></center><br />
<img src="/images/whitespacer.jpg"><br />
NEVER FORGET TO USE THE HARRY POTTER FONT.</p>
<p><center><img src="/images/911/forget.gif"></center><br />
<img src="/images/whitespacer.jpg"><br />
NEVER GOING TO BE ABLE TO READ THAT.</p>
<p><center><img src="/images/911/wait.gif"></center><br />
<img src="/images/whitespacer.jpg"><br />
Hey all you dead guys checking your Facebook in heaven?  Wait for us, ok? kthxbai</p>
<p><center><img src="/images/911/smoke_blessed.gif"></center><br />
<img src="/images/whitespacer.jpg"><br />
tl;dr</p>
<p><center><img src="/images/911/triumph.gif"></center><br />
<img src="/images/whitespacer.jpg"><br />
And also fireworks.  And heroeship.</p>
<p><center><img src="/images/911/bestwishes.gif"></center><br />
<img src="/images/whitespacer.jpg"><br />
Best wishes on this special day! There&#8217;s cake in the break room!<br />
<img src="/images/whitespacer.jpg"><br />
<img src="/images/whitespacer.jpg"></p>
<h2>• music </h2>
<p><img src="/images/whitespacer.jpg"><br />
Of all the tragedy came out of 9/11, nothing is sadder than <a href="http://blog.wfmu.org/freeform/2007/09/365-days-254---.html"target=_blank>these</a>.<br />
<center><img src="/images/whitespacer.jpg"></center><br />
<img src="/images/whitespacer.jpg"></p>
<h2>• tattoos </h2>
<p><center><img src="/images/whitespacer.jpg"></center><br />
When selecting a tattoo design, it&#8217;s important to choose something you would enjoy looking at for the rest of your life. </p>
<p>Unless you put it on your back. Then it&#8217;s your wife&#8217;s problem.<br />

<h2>• inadvertantly offensive </h2>
<p><img src="/images/whitespacer.jpg"><br />
You could make the argument that some of these images were designed to provoke an emotional response, but I think they stop short of pure trolling, which is the gold standard.  I also think some of this was pure stupidity, which is not the same as being an asshole.</p>

I&#8217;m sure there are many hundreds of files I missed, but this is all I have the stomach for, and it&#8217;s almost 9/12.<br />
<img src="/images/whitespacer.jpg"><br />
I hope you see at least one new thing here, and that you never forget whatever it was that you were supposed to remember.<img src="/images/whitespacer.jpg"><br />

<img src="/images/91109bonus.jpg"></p>
<p>Trying to make a couple of bucks on 9/11 is one thing.  </p>
<p>Trying to get some bullshit advertising award by doing unauthorized, unsolicited work for a charity and making them look like ghouls in the process is something else entirely.</p>
<p>This year&#8217;s Twin Douchebag Award goes to . . . </p>
<p><strong>DDB ADVERTISING, BRAZIL</strong></p>
<p>For this spectacularly horrific and ultimately meaningless bit of batshittery.</p>
