    William K. Wolfrum’s Morning – July 8, 2010

    Mega-Shark vs. octopuss
    Only one thing can stop Paul the Psychic Octopus’ reign of terror – yes, I speak of Mega-Shark.

     

    News/Politics

    Mama Grizzlies: Sarah Palin touts a “Mom Awakening.” In other news, we’re all going to die. Painfully. And deserve it.

    Let the Courts Decide: Millions of gallons of oil free-spilling into the Gulf of Mexico, threatening, perhaps, the entire planet. And we have to go to court to stop deep-sea drilling. See above note for predictions of horrible death.

    More Death in Iraq: Seems like it’s pretty tough to run two (or more) concurrent wars.

    Sports

    LeBron James!: Will play basketball again soon. Somewhere. Of this you can be certain. But in other news.

    Spain topples Germany: Spain just plain outplayed Germany to earn the 1-0 victory and move on to the World Cup Finals. A Carles Puyol header did the trick for the Spaniards who move to their first final. With neither team having won a World Cup title, and starts littering the pitch, the finale between Holland and Spain on Sunday has lots of promise.

    NBA Socialism: The super-economically healthy NBA set its team salary cap at $58 million. Sounds like socialism to me.

    Entertainment

    OMG!: Megan Fox & Brian Austin Green’s Wedding Photo Revealed! (Always try to get something for everyone is my motto)

    Blogs

    Doctor Cleveland: How to lose a counterinsurgency, Part II.

    Gawker: It’s official, Paul the Octopus is psychic.

    Nukes of Hazard: Kingtson unloads on Romeny’s ignorance of nukes. A quote:

    “Romney’s screed is political posturing at its worst, almost certainly designed to get a leg up in the early stages of the race to the bottom that is the battle for the Republican nomination for President in 2012. Much like Inhofe and DeMint’s ranting, Romney’s raving would actually be funny if it weren’t for the fact that our national security is at stake.”

    Tweet of the Day

    “(Bill) O’Reilly has a body language expert on and reminds me that I am now a “Licensed Tweet Language Expert.” Just $1 a character.

    If I can't get Quinn to comment on a post prominently featuring Mega-Shark, I'm afraid I may have lost him.


    He's afraid that you're going to repost that video of an octopus eating a shark. It can be devastating to have your hero-illusions crushed. To Quinn, Megashark was like Jesus, Shiva, and LeBron James all rolled up in a giant chunk of animate cartilage.


    It's not that Mega and Me are above this or anything, it's just that we were watching LeBron's Special (what a joke!), and working on ours.

    We're gonna have chicks. 3X the win.


    I'm not sure what you know about the shark penis, but trust me that you do not want to be Mega's wing man. No questions, just trust me.
