Buddy the Elf: “I’m singing! I’m in a store and I’m singing!”

Posted on by TL

I think I’ve seen Elf three times so far this almost-holiday season, and I love it.

Every time I see it, I laugh harder.

Enjoy Buddy the Elf singing:

Buddy: "I’m singing. I’m in a store and I’m singing! I’m in a store and I’m singing!"
Gimbel’s Manager: "Hey! There’s no singing in the north pole."
Buddy: "Yes, there is!
Gimbel’s Manager: "No there’s not!"
Buddy: "We sing all the time!"
Gimbel’s Manager: "No there’s not!"
Buddy: "Especially when we make toys!"

FOX News Chicago Surveys 193% of Republicans for 2012 Presidential Race

Posted on by TL

FOX News Chicago recently released results showing who 193% of Republicans favor for a 2012 Presidential run.

Yes, that’s 193%.

From NBC Chicago:

When you give something your all, you give it 100 percent. Unless you work for My FOX Chicago – then you give it 193 percent.

During a Friday broadcast, Fox News’ local Chicago affiliate reported on the results of a recent Fox News/Opinion Dynamics poll. Anchor Byron Harlan said that Sarah Palin currently has the most support for a 2012 presidential nomination among Republican candidates.

“When it comes to landing the nomination, Palin is at 70 percent, about a third higher than this past July,” said Harlan. “Mike Huckabee stands at 63 percent. Mitt Romney’s 60.”

But rather than use an appropriate bar chart, the accompanying graphic displayed a pie chart. Mathematically, pie charts have to total 100 percent.

FOX’s pie figures add up to 193 percent.

We know math is difficult, but come on.

To make matters worse, the opinion poll never actually asked respondents whom they supported as a presidential candidate.

According to their own published results (PDF link), telephone pollsters asked 900 registered voters if they had a favorable or unfavorable opinion of a list of names. The numbers Harlan reported are the “favorable” ratings among voters who identified themselves as Republican (approximately 324 voters).

FOX News: Fair and only 93% Unbalanced.

Jon Stewart responded to Sean Hannity’s apology saying nothing is worth sitting through Hannity’s show. And then there was this, narrative courtesy The Huffington Post:

Stewart went on to praise Ramin Hedayati, the young producer who caught the Hannity flub. (Full disclosure I know Mr. Hedayati personally.) "He" came came out on stage to take a bow and despite having graduated college in 2002, Ramin looks surprisingly old and begged Stewart to kill him so he could stop watching Sean Hannity’s show.

It was worth it. Watch the above video. Stewart even suggests a wonderful new slogan for FOX News: "WE ALTER REALITY. YOU ARE SOLD A PRECONCEIVED NARRATIVE."

Good catch to Mr. Hedayati.

Woman Robbed While Urinating in Public; Witness Also a Urinator

Posted on by TL

I would love to talk to the officer who wrote this one up.

From ENEWSPF:

A woman reported two bags stolen from a bench at the bus stop at the corner of Victory Drive and Main Street shortly after 10 p.m. on October 23. According to the complainant, she stated that after getting off the bus, she set her bags down on the bench at the bus stop, and went into the bushes to urinate, leaving her bags unattended. When she came out of the bushes, she noticed that her bags had been taken from the bus stop bench, and observed a black female dressed in a dark hooded sweatshirt walking away from the bench with her bags. Another passenger on the bus reported that he also got off the bus, went into the bushes to urinate, and saw a woman dressed in dark clothing take the two bags from the bench.

First, I cannot imagine myself ever witnessing a crime and having to tell the officer taking the report that I was in the bushes taking care of urinating — at least not since my college days.

The victim and the witness were not ticketed for “pubic elimination of bodily waste,” as the charge would stand (and even that sounds funny), most likely because of the theft.

Still, I think I’ll to avoid that bus stop.
