From this week's "What Do You Think?" segment in The Onion: "When dealing with genocide, you must ask yourself, "What would Hitler do?" And then, you know, do the opposite."

It's hard to escape the parallels when your own president says stupid shit like the following: "Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we." This is an actual quote. In their ongoing defense of civil liberties, the Bush camp has also decided that protesters are tolerable only if they remain invisible behind large concrete barriers. Or, if you want to actually, physically attend a rally, you can just sign a declaration of your support.

Speaking of Nazi fuckheads, Ralph Fiennes has been cast as Voldemort in the upcoming Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Speaking of big concrete barriers, Pink Floyd's The Wall is being developed into a Broadway musical. And speaking of Nazis, barriers, and civil liberties, Gana la Verde (basically translates as "get the green") is a new Mexican reality show wherein participants compete for the services of an immigration attorney in attaining a Green Card(!!!). Finally, speaking of foreign nationals, republicans, and antisemitism, these brilliant "Borat from Kazakhstan" segments have to be seen to be believed: one and two. Thanks to Stereogum for the links.

Finally again, this music video by The 'Hoff will prove beyond all doubt that he is the one, true GOD. And Radiohead fans (or just fans of really great animation) will go poo-poo in their pants when they watch this unbelievable short film set to an accoustic "Creep." Enjoy in good spirits, you adorable little poo-poo pants, you.
