… but I’ve been busy tossing wads of virtual paper into a virtual trash can.
Don’t go there unless you have nothing else to do today, because you’re gonna be there a while.

American Idol – final four
What? They’re not going to ignore all the elephants in Paula’s dressing room?
So this week’s show is geared toward Carrie and Bo making the finals. Country? Carrie and Bo.
Fear Your Overlord!
The Talent from The Triumverate took it upon herself to draw an image of what I, overlord of the blogdodecahedron, must look in my full costume based on my previous description:
The New Look of IMAO
If you want to preview the sweeping changes to IMAO, there’s a test site set up.
See the new IMAO.
Thanks to Phin for hosting it until it becomes permanent.
You Dare Face the Cheney?
I saw this headline at FOXnews.com:
“Appeals Court Backs Cheney in Energy Suit”
Wow! That’s cool… so cool I didn’t click on the link for the chance it’s not about what I think it’s about: Cheney in some special energy suit – maybe like something from Tron – and able to power blast anyone in his way. No wonder the appeals court is backing such a fearsome warrior. I wish I had an energy suit.
Anyhoo, time for some headline fun! You know the drill, and, if you don’t, follow the lead of others in the comments.
Don’t Fear the Reaper
Some people seem to think IMAO is changing, and they fear this change. To help everyone out, I wrote this FAQ to cover the concerns I’ve been hearing.
NEW FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT IMAO
While Help Is Being Asked for Others…
Jackson’s Junction needs your help. The website is better than TiVO at grabbing useful news and blog related video for your convenience (including about every time IMAO has actually been mentioned on TV), but that is some costly bandwidth. Whatever solution Trey Jackson finds to keep the site going will be useful to we here at IMAO as well since we plan on some higher bandwidth productions in the future.
Blogs for Bush and PoliPundit need your help!
Do you remember 100 days ago when 2008 presidential candidate John Kerry promised to execute an SF-180 to release his military records? (Let’s forget for the moment the several times he also did so in 2004 during the presidential campaign.) Well, apparently John Kerry has forgotten because he hasn’t done it. If you know the real story behind John Kerry’s military service you know why. Anyway, Blogs for Bush and PoliPundit are coordinating an effort to “remind” him of his lack of diligence. Go to this website to print off the SF-180 and use the listed fax numbers to make sure that he has a copy of the form.

Totally True Tidbits About The Netherlands
George W. Bush is visiting Europe & Russia this week as part of the “See? I Told You So!” Victory Tour, although the official excuse is to mark the 60th anniversary of VE Day (or “Don’t Make Us Come Over There Again Day”, as it’s known in the US). Naturally, Bush’s visit caused thousands of smelly Euro-hippies to take to the streets in The Netherlands.
No, I’ve never heard of that country either.
So I did some Googling so I could present (in the extended entry) these:

Women: Please don’t read this post. Men: Avoid Canada.
Every time I go to Canada, I get into some kind of misadventure that is neither comical nor interesting. Much like Canada itself.
My latest misadventure to Canada was capped off by a walk past the Luk Fook Jewelry (whose company profile notes they: “operates 28 jewellery retail shops in Hong Kong, Macau and Canada, realizing economies of scale for group operations and the brand name effect”) store where my wife proceeded to drop an outrageous amount of money on wedding rings. Here are a couple of facts you should know:
- I’ve been married for five years and therefore already paid for my wife’s engagement ring, a wedding ring, and my own wedding ring five friggin’ years ago.
- Canadian “jewellery” isn’t any less expensive than American “jewelry” but is apparently spelled “jewellry” so as to show off its decidedly non-American Canadian-ness.
Why women are reading this post right now is not a mystery to me at all: I asked you not to read so of course–you’re reading… Yeah, I caught you and you’re busted, honey. Lemme talk to the boys again:
I wanna ask every married man that reads IMAO a question: If you walked past a Best Buy in the mall and decided you were gonna blow three grand on a new HDTV plasma screen (even though you already have a five year-old TV that works perfectly), would your wife back you up on that little impulse purchase or would she immediately call her girlfriends, her little sister, her mom, her aunt, and the Dr. Laura show to complain about how all you care about is the NBA playoffs?
Man, if it wasn’t for Tim Horton’s, I’d friggin’ despise Canada.
