Facebook newsfeed and similarly legitimate news sources are all abuzz with praise for Tina Fey's Palin impression on the last SNL. As a huge Fey fan, an avid SNL viewer (despite substantially diminishing returns) and a part-time Palin impressionist myself, I am shocked that the response has been so positive. Aside from the resemblance? Not so hot, T.T. And the skit? The writing did little to scratch the surface of how awful Palin is for women. Alas, compared to the rest of the episode ("Seriously, do you smell that peppah?" standing out as the runaway catchphrase of the evening), how can I complain?
Alas.

Why I Oughta...Inform Your Music Tastes!
"Whatever You Like" is the new "Sexy Can I" which was never the new "Love in this Club."
On a related note, it's weird that music videos were such a rapidly changing, popular platform for innovative filmmaking for a good chunk of time there and then suddenly they stopped getting more interesting. Now we've just reverted back to booties, boobies and boozies.

You know what's not darnd? Our economy.
But you know who's the darndest? John McCain. In an adorable attempt to reassure our country that we're not tumbling into Great Depression II, he opined, "People are frightened by these events. Our economy, I think still, the fundamentals of our economy are strong," before a cute little addendum of, "But these are very, very difficult times."
What. a. cutie.
You know what I say to that? "Aw, fuck you!"

Why I Oughta.....Turn You Into An Actual Series!
I LOVE 'llectuals!
If this were a show, I'd watch it all the time. David Foster Wallace? So apropos/too soon! How can we make it a real show????
POYKPAC is a really funny group. But this is the best video by far. Amazing: "It's all happening on The Peeb!" and the announcer's change of voice-tone during "Gettin' Head" — so perfect.

Welcome to The Darndie Awards!
You know how the kids say the darndest things? Well, so does the rest of the world. In fact, tons of darnd things are said and done every day! Here's where we find, catalogue, and analyze them!
Imagine if, after Bill Cosby showed kids saying the darndest things, the actually most darnd thing — the absolute DARNDEST thing — was recognized with an award. That award would be a Darndie.
Here's how to figure out if something is darnd. Imagine saying "Aw, you're the greatest!" while making your hand into a fist and moving it from right to left in a swinging motion. You know how people do that? Now, with the same tone and inflection, say "Aw, fuck you!" That's what you do when something is darnd.
We'll be finding the darndest things in pop culture, politics, and our daily lives. It'll be non-stop awards.
Some regular features you'll find here:
– Aw, Fuck You!
– The Daily Darndie
– Why I oughta...
That last one is a little vague. We find that the best to preface statements is to say, with Jackie Gleason fist and old-timey gangster voice, "why I oughta..." and then whatever you feel like. Example: "Why I oughta......give you a thumbs up!" with fist followed by thumbs up. Get it?
