In what has quickly become a mini-meme among Battlestar Galactica aficionados, John McCain and Sarah Palin are being closely compared - both in appearance and political profile - to two of the show’s main characters, troubled alien Col. Tigh and President Laura Roslin.
If you ask me, the only
“toaster” trotting around Washington has
got to be
Laura Frakking Bush. As far as I’m concerned, she’s got nothing but two dead eyes, a pained smile, and some excellent inner wiring.

Five years after his father’s body was initially found and cremated (without the authorities conducting an actual DNA test), one man witnessed his dad alive and well…on daytime TV!
It’s quite an amazing story, especially now that John Renehan has reunited with his father, helping him piece together his past. Less amazing? An urn filled with the ashes of a stranger. That’s, like,
begging for nightmares.

The Church of England may start a chain of wine bars to update their brand and attract new worshipers.
The bars would be decorated with stained glass and “episcopal purple.” No word yet on whether the wine would be made out of water on site, or just, you know, purchased in bottles.

If you’re going to watch the VMA’s on Sunday, better whip up a batch of Britney’s famous Cheetos chicken casserole.
Everyone knows celebrities don’t cook for themselves! I just wanted an excuse to post Britney’s Cheetos chicken casserole recipe and see if anyone had the balls to actually make it (and then eat it).

A resort island in Germany builds a house aptly named ‘The World Stands on Its Head.’
This whimsical townhouse looks like something out of Alice in Wonderland.

From a BBC public service campaign to promote condom use in India, it’s…a downloadable ringtone consisting of people repeatedly singing the word “condom.”
It’s part Mozart chorale, part barbershop quartet, entirely amazing. And no, I can’t explain the parrot.

Nancy and Ann Wilson, John Cougar/Cougar-Mellencamp/Mellencamp, Van Halen and Jackson Brown ask McCain to stop using their music.
Seems the Republicans can’t even steal their way out of their white stodginess. I say all for the better. If I see one more Democrat dancing to Fleetwood Mac I’m gonna slit my wrists with a cracked Rumors LP.

People share their stories about the clothes they wore the last time they had sex.
How much does your outfit affect your game? Seems like if you’re drunk enough, a pair of crocs could easily be mistaken for some sexy Louboutin pumps.

A new exhibit at the Museum of Sex is a celebration of the “diversity of animal sexual behavior”.
This statue of the Deersome is just one of many amazing animal sexual experiences that are on display at the museum. It’s like if all the humping animals I ever saw on TV crept out of my dreams, only to coalesce in one place. Naturally, that’s New York City baby.

Movie Buzz
Two producers from ‘The Office’ are writing the script for ‘Ghostbusters 3.’
The sequel will reunite the original cast, and the Judd Apatow cabal may be involved in some way that I’m too excited to understand in detail. Ghostbusters! Yay!

A chart from Wired in 2005 shows how Star Wars influenced the later development of movies, games, TV programs, and other forms of entertainment.
We love a good chart! This one doesn’t concern
penis sizes or
things to say during sex, but sometimes you just wanna nerd out
without your cock out.

Rumor has it Us Weekly is losing subscribers over this cover story on Sarah Palin.
The magazine’s publisher is an Obama supporter, which Us editors insist is irrelevant. Celebrity magazines: they’re just like us! In that they can’t hide their partisan bias.

A Radaronline editor just happened to be at a Las Vegas strip club, where he managed to get some shots of Michael Phelps grabbing some stipper’s ass.
But everyone’s saying the same thing…wouldn’t
you head straight to Vegas after 8 Olympic gold medals?

The brewing discontent of the cupcake-haters.
We’ve already seen them
banned in schools. Will the expansion of Crumbs, a cupcake place that’s growing at a Krispy Kreme-like pace, turn more people against the lowly cupcake?

A tasty, healthy treat from Portland, OR.
If they could cut it open and add a Philly cheesesteak, then we’d be talking.

Yes, it’s what The Daily Show is known best for: recognizing hypocritical blowhards in politics. But this clip, in which Jon Stewart so effortlessly lambasts right-wing luminaries Karl Rove and Bill O’Reilly as they bemoan the alleged sexism being faced by Sarah Palin, is a must-see.
And to think: it’s very likely the interns sifting through endless footage at
The Daily Show who are quietly rocking the political stratosphere. Go get ‘em, kids.

An international robotic program for kids ages 9 to 14 is a sort of geek olympics.
It’s like the math olympics for the new generation. I’m sort of jealous that geeks are becoming more and more accepted in society. We never had it this good when we were kids!

So maybe not all Republicans can spell, but they sure know how to draw a fine asterisk.
Now imagine for a second if that same man were voting for Obama…
Barack Hussein Obama. That’s, like, a dyslexic’s worst nightmare.
