The News You Need, As You Wrote It

I picked this up from neonnurse. If you haven't tried it yet, you really need to.

Okay. Go to this link:

www.topfx.com/cgi-bin/mixmaster.cgi?layouturl=http%3A%2F%2Fcnn.com%2F&contenturl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.livejournal.com%2Fusers%2Fwomzilla%2F. It will probably make you laugh.

Then edit the URL to use your own lj user name. If you're like me, it will make you laugh a whole lot and wake the rats.

Actually, you can blend any two URLs by going to this page. The particular results acheived above were produced by blending http://www.cnn.com for layout and http://www.livejournal.com/users/womzilla for content. But be creative--try http://www.pinkpussycat-productions.com/pages/865249/index.htm and http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2004/01/20040120-7.html instead.

Howard Dean: The Dance Remix

Via the LA Times:

I cannot imagine why anyone would think Dean's speech was shameful or embarrassing. Politicians are supposed to have personality.

Patrick quoted Tom Tomorrow:

If I were in the Dean camp right now, I'd be trying to pull a little jiu-jitsu--turn that "yeaarrggh" thing around, make it a joke, embrace it. Open campaign rallies with that remix that's floating around the 'net. Hand out t-shirts to volunteers which just say "YEEAAARRRGGH" across the front. Maybe have Dean open speeches with some mildly self-deprecating joke: "I've taken a lot of kidding for my speech in Iowa--but if you think I was hollering then, wait till you get the bill for Bush's spending spree!"

You can't make it go away, but you can turn it around.
