EXCLUSIVE!! MUST.CREDIT. IMAO.US!!!!
Has there been counter-protest photo blending by the Instapundit?
I know Prof. Reynolds likey da protest babes. But tweaking their um, images to make them more titilating? Well, surely something like that is below Reynolds. But a call like that’s for a far more trained eye than mine. Let me show you the goods.

Guess what I just finished writing?
An In My World™! I’ll post it tomorrow. Now, I need to work on some more posts as this should be another busy week at work.
I hope you all really appreciate I’m spending my Sunday night writing posts for you guys; if not, then why don’t you go start a diary on the DailyKos!
I’m a big Firefly fan (remember when I had Jayne endorse Bush?), gotten my sister, my mother (I spent a vacation in Sun Valley staying in our hotel room watching all the episodes with them on my laptop), SarahK, and my brother Joe foo’ the Marine hooked on the series (he’s watched the 14 episodes of it multiple times while in Iraq – probably has already seen the movie on a bootleg Iraqi DVD), thus I was very excited at the opportunity to go to a press screening in Orlando this Tuesday so I can see it early and put up a review (and hopefully SarahK will have the podcast review before it comes out on Friday). Ends up, as of now, I am not guaranteed a seat.
What? You mean I may drive all the way to Orlando on a weeknight – taking all those tolls and gas costs – and not even get to see the Firefly movie Serenity?
Grace Hills Media is calling this press screening for bloggers the “Serenity Blogger Bonanza” (ugh – still, it’s nice to seem them trying a blog publicity campaign) and has a few requirement to earn our chance at the screening.
Fine. I’ll jump through a few hoops. Anyhoo, here’s the film’s synopsis:
Joss Whedon, the Oscar® – and Emmy – nominated writer/director responsible for the worldwide television phenomena of BUFFY THE VAMPIRE, ANGEL and FIREFLY, now applies his trademark compassion and wit to a small band of galactic outcasts 500 years in the future in his feature film directorial debut, Serenity. The film centers around Captain Malcolm Reynolds, a hardened veteran (on the losing side) of a galactic civil war, who now ekes out a living pulling off small crimes and transport-for-hire aboard his ship, Serenity. He leads a small, eclectic crew who are the closest thing he has left to family –squabbling, insubordinate and undyingly loyal.
I don’t think that’s particularly very good, so I’d like my readers who are fans of the series (and those who have seen the movie already) put better explanations of the series and movie (spoiler-free) in the comments.
There, that’s one hoop jumped through. Now, I’m going to e-mail them and explain to them I am Frank J. and there isn’t a bigger blogger in the Orlando area you could get involved with this. Hopefully, I can get confirmation before Tuesday night.
If they don’t let me in, though I will swear in Chinese, but I’m going to hype the movie, because, if you’ve watched the series, you’d know why this needs to be a blockbuster. If you haven’t seen the series, go rent DVDs now. Actually, just trust me and buy them; you’ll want to show them to everyone else just like me.
Oh, and before I forget (another hoop), here’s the official movie site where you can watch the trailers for the film. They’re shiny (that means really good, for the uninitiated)!
Man, I want to see this film… and NOW!
It looks like I’m going to be really busy for a while, but, since I love my readers, I’ll use some of my weekend to pre-write posts. I’ll even write ahead on Superego for the first time (I’m just thrilled anyone likes that).
BTW, we’re still restructuring for the next IMAudiO. It will make a triumphant return… hopefully next week.
With the dozens of tree branches and scads of leaves scattered in the streets in this part of town, it looks more like a pack of drunk Mexican gardeners went on a rampage here before running out of tequila and passing out.
And not even a Category-5 pack of drunk Mexicans, either. We’re talking dull shears, really weak tequila, and some really lazy drunk Mexicans.
So go ahead and blame whomever or whatever for this storm, John Q. Public, I’m going to blame the Mexicans.
Millions of people evacuated, only needing to be moved back in.
Thousands of abandoned and stranded cars.
Millions of gallons of gas wasted.
Billions of dollars in lost production.
A few dozen people dead from the evacuation.
A fire or two in Galveston.
Some trees knocked down here and there.
But it was all worth it to guarantee that the Motley Crue concert at Toyota Center was cancelled.
Okay, folks… how will this all be blamed on Bus?
My guess is that Haliburton will get the contracts to widen the freeways. Oh, and Donald Rumsfeld secretly owns a stake in many major bottled-water companies.
I’ve guess I’ve been blogging for long enough to be out of my blogging diapers now.
Now I guess I’m just going to run around leaving smelly surprises everywhere. Basically like I do here, now.
What can you rescue in a 4 man boat if you take 3 people with you and one is your personal photographer?
Look who is being featured on the Pajamas Media (name to be changed) website.
Another very busy day for me. I’ll try to make time for my IMW and Superego (does everyone get the title now… not that anyone asked a question about it before) update, but hopefully the other bloggers can give you the quality humor you’ve come to expect from IMAO, the primary news source for people in the know (you like our new slogan?). Unfortunately, some of those bloggers are fleeing hurricanes.
BTW, they keep talking about how the hurricane is weakening from a Category 5 to a Category 4 on the news like that’s such a great thing.
“Hey, we thought a nuclear bomb was about to go off a block from you, but ends up its just an atomic bomb!”
We all saw what a Category 4 did to New Orleans (I’ve only personally dealt with Category 3 storms), so keep America in your prayers… and especially Laurence Simon, IMAO’s token Jew.
Today antiwar activist Cindy Sheehan announced the paperwork to change her name legally to Hurricane Bushisawarcriminal has been filed.
Citing an extreme low pressure region behind her eyes, she predicts that she “will be the most devastating blast of hot air to strike at an American president in recent time, at least since what happened to Clinton.” She added, she has no plans to dissipate while over land either and intends to be very unpredictable.
“You’ll definitely want to closely watch me, Hurricane Bushisawarcriminal, since neither logic, facts, reason nor prevailing wind of current opinon control my movements”
, she stated.
The following probability cone was released in conjunction with the announcement.

Shiny!
Thanks to sandor at the zoo telling me about the opportunity, I’ve signed up for the press screening of Serenity in Orlando on Tuesday (I haven’t been this excited to see a movie in a long while). Any other bloggers going to be going to the Orlando screening?
