The video not only utilizes the "America, Fuck Yeah" theme, but also "Freedom Isn't Free," also by Parker and Stone. The trailer parody is an absolute scream and I bet that you can't watch it only once.

Wisconsin Republicans stunned the nation today when they published Governor Scott Walker?s anti-union bill in seeming violation of a restraining order. The legislation was enjoined from publishing by a judge who ruled that Republicans violated the Open Meeting law when passing it. By publishing their anti-union legislation and turning it into law, Scott Walker and the Republicans may have killed the bill.

Last year's Deepwater Horizon oil spill dumped an estimated 2.6 million gallons of oil A DAY into the Gulf of Mexico - you'd think someone would have gotten on that faster. Oh, they did? Fire on the Horizon explains what took so damn long.

Radiohead to Release Free ?Newspaper? in Conjunction With The King of Limbs Release
http://feeds.digg.com/~r/digg/news/popular/~3/qUoUQ-jZ4So/radiohead_to_release_free_newspaper_in_conjunction_with_the_king_of_limbs_release
If Radiohead wasn?t one of the most talented and uncompromising mainstream music acts since The Beatles, they?d surely be subject to mockery for being more gimmicky than a can of Coors Light. While no one will complain about their ?pay what you want? policy on In Rainbows, Thom Yorke?s occasional bouts of needy art-student eccentricity can distract us from the fact that, well, he?s a brilliant songwriter.

Ah, Libya. We always knew we'd get around to military action in your deserts too. See, we can't, so to speak, "invade" you the way we'd normally do because we've got all of our troops over in Iraq.

350 000$ For A Domain Name

How much can you pay for a domain name? Registering a new domain name for one year costs just a couple of dollars. Even a registration for 10 years can cost less than $100. So buying a domain name for $350,000 may seem more than just a little over the top for some.

http://feeds.digg.com/~r/digg/news/popular/~3/0FANpYASl44/why_obama_s_libya_war_coalition_is_the_smallest_in_decades
President Barack Obama has touted his emphasis on multilateralism in the U.S. military intervention in Libya, but, for political, operational, and legal reasons, Obama's "coalition of the willing" is smaller than any major multilateral operation since the end of the Cold War.
The Cable compiled a chart listing all the countries that contributed at least some military assets to the five major military operations in which the United States participated in a coalition during the last 20 years: the 1991 Gulf War (32 countries participating), the 1995 Bosnia mission (24 countries), the 1999 Kosovo mission (19 countries), the 2002 invasion of Afghanistan (48 countries), and the 2003 invasion of Iraq (40 countries), at the height of the size of each coalition. As of today, only 15 countries, including the United States, have committed to providing a military contribution to the Libya [...]

Evangelical shift on gays: Why 'clobber scriptures' are losing ground
http://feeds.digg.com/~r/digg/news/popular/~3/KTFiJTKzJF8/evangelical_shift_on_gays_why_clobber_scriptures_are_losing_ground_2
Jay Bakker (Son of Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker) says that religious people for far too long have used selective ?clobber scriptures? to condemn gays and lesbians. A closer look at the teachings of the full biblical narrative, he says, leads us away from this position. ?The simple fact is that Old Testament references in Leviticus do treat homosexuality as a sin ... a capital offense even,? Bakker writes. ?But before you say, ?I told you so,? consider this: Eating shellfish, cutting your sideburns and getting tattoos were equally prohibited by ancient religious law.?
