What do you do if you're fave chain is Republican?

Okay. I like eating at sit down chain restaurants. I am a sucker for appetizers and they are more likely to carry Dr Pepper than some independent place.

There are conflicting reports on whether or not Olive Garden has pulled its ad spots from David Letterman in solidarity with Sarah Palin.



The fantastic eatery is denying it. I hope they hate Sarah Palin as much as I do. And I don't really want to get into the nonsense of the joke was blah blah blah blah blah. Look, we need to just ignore her, okay?

THIS MEANS YOU, OLIVE GARDEN. YOU SHALL STAY MY NON-PARTISAN TREAT FOR YEARS TO COME. DO NOT GET INVOLVED WITH THAT CRAZY LOON, JUST BECAUSE SHE CHOSE YOUR EATERY, LIKE, ONCE.

Got it?

OMG Blur onstage together is so beautiful!



I've been a little behind on all the concert footage coming out, but this stuff makes me really happy. Even though they're in another country touring, its still good to see them. And its good to hear that they still sound awesome!

Its also good to see that Think Tank hasn't completely gone by the wayside, with a performance of Out of Time:

And isn't it nice to hear the audience sing along with it?

OMG CNN Please stop filling my head with redundant info!



CNN has been catching flack for talking about Palin vs Letterman June '09 rather than the Iran election and subsequent violence.

Above is another piece of non-news. It isn't even news like Dick Cheney coming out in favor of gay marriage in a total flip flop. Republicans coming out in favor of gay marriage is very near to news.

But Melissa Ethridge in favor of pot legalization? Who didn't think she was for this? Who looks at that headline and says, "WHAAAAT? I have to read that!"

'Cause we know this. Pop culture inferences tell us this. We don't need this news, especially from you. You are supposed to be news. Or whatever. You are supposed to fill my head with some kind of knowledge, not shit I already know.
