Weekend Babe

In honor of the late, great Bettie Page, here's a modern day vixen to get you going for the weekend.I'm seeing the Day the Earth Stood Still (with Keanu!) this evening and I'll have something about it in the near future. Kurt Loder already weighed in and it might be a huge turd. We'll see. Have a nice chilly weekend everybody.

Weekend Haps

• The stock market tanks
• Hillary Clinton seems to be a shoe-in for Secretary of State
• Anti-Prop 8 Protest at some wealthy Mormon's house in Seattle

Might sound like gloom and doom, but fortunately for y'all, after much googling, I found this classic 90s tune that I had stuck in my head. Check it out (there's also a chipmunk version):

It reminds me of a Tijuana dance club full of teens circa 1999. Good Times!

Super Fun Time Weekend Thread: Zombie Edition

Zombies stormed Wall Street recently to feast on the oversize, Ivy-leagued brains of investment bankers and traders. Of course, we're better off trusting flesh-eating zombies than the government to manage our retirement accounts. At least the undead aren't going on a taxpayer-funded vacation during a "house recess" every two months.

Anyone got any groovy Halloween pics or costume idears?

Super Fun Time Weekend Thread: Ashley Todd and Bad Avatar Edition

Surprise! The 20-year old McCain volunteer Ashley Todd, who tried to start off a race war or some bullshit with a Munchausen-like story about a 6'4" black man carving a B in her face, made it all up [KDKA-Pittsburgh]. I guess it wasn't that big a surprise, because Michelle Malkin and Wonkette already declared shenanigans last night due to her bizarre twitter account. That pathetic ruse was about as successful as my astro-turf campaign at This Ain't Hell.

Anyways, what's everyone got going on this weekend? Any badass Halloween paraphernalia in the works?
