LazyTown: This is a Finnish kids' show re-done for Nick Jr. starring a neo-Power Ranger athlete ("Sportacus") who must spend his days teaching the hideous puppet populace of LazyTown how to not be slugs. As usual, boring parents everywhere are turning against it, just as they did against Barney and Teletubbies and everything else that young kids glom onto. After reading a blog mention of the show, I made sure to check it out today on Nick... and it's not all that great, actually. But Sportacus himself is undeniably awesome, and he deserves recognition if only for spending his workdays leaping and backflipping in front of a greenwall. At the least, you have to watch the preview video, which does a better job of presenting the concept's crazy verve than the actual half-hour show does.

johnkerryisadouchebagbutimvotingforhimanyway.com: I couldn't have said it better myself. John Kerry is a douchebag, and yet I shall vote for him. This site presents one person's take on the current US war de politic. And it rather neatly covers my view: all politicians are lying, dirty scumbags and the only thing we can do as voters is punish the ones that do wrong and take a chance on the next guy. Unless we're voting for Sportacus. Sportacus is awesome.

Skeptic's Annotated Bible: Be honest; you have never read the Bible. No one has. 99% of all Christians flip through it, give up, and go buy a little inspirational quote calendar instead. If you did read it, you'd uncover all sorts of disgusting passages, utter nonsense, and obvious contradictions. This site lays them all bare, and should be required reading for anyone heading into a Bible-based argument against one of those stupid Fundies.
