Vicarious Halloween Vid

Posted on by

Stolen from Gawker. Not as much fun as my Halloween,  but theirs apparently doesn’t take several days of bed rest afterwards.

Gawker cover’s an event that needs no introduction, the Greenwich Village Halloween Day Parade. Watch as “hundreds of artists, 53 bands of different types of music, dancers and artists, and thousands of other New Yorkers in costumes of their own creation” take to the streets to celebrate this year’s theme “The Village Hearth.” If you’ve never been then this is a definite must-go event at least once in your life.

Everything after 1848. This should satisfy all you conspiracy theorists, and should put a spur in the sides of those of you whose blog posts didn’t make it to my illin’ issue. Got to work harder next time! Here’s the roundup!

the history of tentacle porn

I freely admit this doesn’t do it for me, but there must be millions out there it DOES do it for, and for those millions I freely post the History of Tentacle Porn. I do find it fascinating that most of this is a response to overly-specific porn definitions.

Ann Coulter, 45-and-counting, violated, awaiting probe

Posted on by

Can I write an incendiary headline or, like, what, eh?

Ann Coulter, gag me with a spoon!

Everybody’s favorite right-wing harpy Ann Coulter, 45, appears to have voted fraudulently in the last federal election. An investigation has begun, with which she has stated she will not cooperate. Is it too much to ask that she be jailed for contempt of court? Contempt for the democratic processs and the ideals of the American Republic doesn’t appear to be jailworthy any more…

From the Palm Beach Post via Gawker

An alleged voting violation by GOP pundit and bestselling author Ann Coulter will be investigated by Palm Beach County State Attorney Barry Krischer‘s office.

Arthur Anderson, Palm Beach County‘s elections supervisor, said today that he would refer the accusation that Coulter voted knowingly in the wrong precinct Feb. 7 in a town of Palm Beach election to the state attorney “within 48 hours.”

Anderson said that Coulter, since the allegations surfaced, made “efforts to distract and divert focus on the process regarding this complaint.”

PSA: extras for the Battle in Seattle

Posted on by

“Battle in Seattle”, an independent film about to go into production in the Vancouver area, is seeking activists with a passion for taking it to the streets when the cameras are rolling. Based on one of the most incendiary political uprisings in a generation, Battle in Seattle takes an in-depth look at the five days that rocked the world in 1999 as tens of thousands of demonstrators took to the streets in protest of the World Trade Organization. The film was written and will be directed by Stuart Townsend and will star Charlize Theron as a pregnant bystander who loses her baby during the riot.

We are offering an incentive of $12 a head to grassroots organizations who can provide us with a group, the hope being that that money can be of benefit to their community and cause. We need a great number of background performers, and would like to have as diverse a group, in ethnicity, age, gender and background as we can find.

The scene that needs the most people will be shooting on the weekend of November 4th and ideally, we would like to have a pool of extras we can call on throughout November. All food is provided, and we will be shooting almost entirely on weekends.

This is a unique opportunity to be part of the production of a film that will tell a story of profound global importance, a story the mass media suppressed and a story that is itself a movement for cultural transformation. We deeply appreciate your participation.

Feel free to forward this poster to all who might want to be included.

Best regards,

At last, I have received the schedule.

We need extras the 4th, 5th, 6th, 25th and 27th of November, The biggest days are the 25th and 27th, with the 27th (which is, inconveniently, a Monday) needing 150 people. Even if you can only get people for one or two days (prioritizing the big ones if possible) that will still get the incentive, and be a great help to us.
