I'm MADD about GTA4!!!

Question: Mothers Against Drunk Driving is demanding that Take Two slap an AO rating on Grand Theft Auto IV because players can:

a. Execute police officers
b. Bang and then stab hookers
c. Carjack and then run over soccer dads
d. Drive drunk

But at least there's no explicit sex in this one.

We should all be damn glad that the press has had the stones to call bullshit on McCain's and Hillary's gas-tax-holiday plan (which they themselves stole from Bob Dole).

Friedman's take ("Dumb As We Wanna Be" -- way to paraphrase 2 Live Crew, Tommy boy!) was best:

This is not an energy policy. This is money laundering: we borrow money from China and ship it to Saudi Arabia and take a little cut for ourselves as it goes through our gas tanks.

The McCain-Clinton gas holiday proposal is a perfect example of what energy expert Peter Schwartz of Global Business Network describes as the true American energy policy today: “Maximize demand, minimize supply and buy the rest from the people who hate us the most.”

And what's this? A politician is airing an ad about not cutting taxes? Dogs and cats living together!

Yeah, that's nice. But where is his flag pin?

Now if you'll excuse me, my GTA4 arrived in the mail today. After I play for a while, I'm going to plant some flowers, volunteer at a leper shelter, and then maybe feed an adorable kitten.
