Lazy Sunday Roast Monkey

It rained on and off all day today so I stayed indoors. I downloaded the last episode of Battelstar Galactica where they change several basic premises of the series in the space of an hour, listened to the ever increasing amusement that is the weekly Ronald D. Moore podcast, drank whisky, ate Chinese, watched Audrey's interrogation on 24, made plans with my mother and talked crap with my father as he worked on his hobby... all without feeling guilty about not going out and catching rays, for there were no rays to be caught.

I instant message-d with my favourite internet friend of the moment and she told me last week's White House press dinner didn't get much coverage Stateside, unlike this side of the pond and all over the internet.

Evil fuck that he is, I have to give Dubya miniscule props for laughing at himself in the above clip. Have I Got News For You this week had a caption competition using a still of the President and Steven Bridges (his impersonator). The winning slogan? "Blair Make-Over Now Complete".

Bush wasn't laughing later when The Daily Show's Stephen Colbert told him to ignore his low approval ratings because they were based on reality and reality "has a well-known liberal bias". Now that's what I call a roasting. Click around YouTube.com to find footage from a camera trained on the motherfucker as he squirms with discomfort throughout Colbert's routine. Schadenfreude's best when a warmongerer is the only one suffering.
