Today's Mighty Oak


Okay, big update for everyone, so here we go.

First up, this comes from Slog, and is fantastic:

Two weeks ago in his column, Dan Savage eviscerates Maggie Gallagher.  It’s wonderful to read, check it out.

Video Games will now have their own category in the Grammy’s!  Thank goodness.  Baba Yetu won last year for best instrumental (I linked to it before, and it deserves it, it is such a good song, especially the duet version).

Betty Bowers, America’s Best Christian, is back!  And now she’s addressing the masses:

Catholic Vandals in France destroyed “Piss Christ.” I’m not familiar with the work, but apparently it’s quite famous.  They assaulted a guard and attacked the photo with an ice pick, which just sounds viscous.  It always makes me sad to see art destroyed.

A few months ago, Gawker redesigned their family of sites, and they are horrible to try to navigate now.  Here’s a graph of their traffic, can you guess when the redesign went live:

It’s nice to see the Democrats actually go on the offensive for once, and the ad is a lot of fun (if not sad):

Also in politics, remember the phrase that those who protest the loudest against [insert any cause] are usually actually personally involved in [cause].  See: Larry Craig, et al.  Well, the Tea Party member of the state congress of Montana who tried to removed all equality for LGBT citizens?  Yeah, she’s a lesbian.  When will politicians learn that this pattern is clear?

Want to see something fun and cute?  Check out Cute Roulette.  It’s like Chat Roulette, but with (presumably) no penises, just lots of baby animals!

You’ll have to excuse me while I laugh.  Considering he is the man who after a rant of anti-Semitic slurs called a cop “Sugar Tits,” Mel Gibson has the gall to say he has never treated anyone badly, and certainly not for their religion or gender!

That’s it for now, have a great one!



So, sometimes I forgot how much of a sucker I am for a good strings section.  With that in mind, I give you the latest video from the Goo Goo Dolls for “NotBroken”

Buzzfeed has amazing Charlie Sheen quotes with baby sloths (much like they did with kittens and Mel Gibson not too long ago), my favorite:

Check out this amazing article about why video games should have their own dedicated Grammy.  “Baba Yetu” is amazing, although the live duet version from VGL is even better:

Tim Burton is set to do a new Hunchback movie!  That remains my all time favorite Disney movie, and I’d actually really like to read the book, so I’m interested in this.

Check out this awesome idea for a new Scrabble set:

This kind of flew under the radar, but Nickelodeon is bringing back classic cartoons with new episodes!  So hoping for Ahh! Real Monsters!

And the internet memes continue for Christina:

That’s it for now, media heavy update, but I’ll be back again soon, have a great one!
