Have you seen the new flick The Undefeated<\/em> yet? It’s a documentary about Sarah Palin<\/a>. According to the Los Angeles Times<\/a>, and it’s still awaiting it’s first positive review (from a professional critic). This really makes me want to see the movie. I wonder if it really is that<\/em> bad, or if critics’ preconceived notions were just confirmed. In reading the article, it appears to be the former – even conservative news outlets are giving it bad press. Best line in the article:<\/p>\n

blogger Kirsten Boyd Johnson said the film opened “to exactly the amount of excitement visible on the faces of trapped subway car passengers standing next to someone who has just [passed gas].”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But if you want to read a funnier article – about a journalist who pushed through the crowds of Harry Potter fans in order to interview attendees at the Sarah Palin flick, READ THIS<\/a>. Turns out, the journalist was the only person in the theater.<\/p>\n

IMDb users, meanwhile, have afforded it a score of 1.6 out of 10<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here’s a positive review of The Undefeated<\/em><\/a>. It’s from Ben Howe, a friend of the director. Howe says he was “blown away.” He also says that, after watching the film, he felt shame. My guess is he masturbated through it.<\/p>\n

I’m putting this on my Netflix queueueue.<\/p>\n

So I guess this isn’t really about today<\/em>, but since I finally figured out how to extract the image from my cellular telephone and get it onto my computer today, then technically it has something<\/em> to do with today. Here goes…<\/p>\n

I was driving southbound on Snelling Avenue in Roseville last week, and I suddenly found myself driving behind an SUV. Specifically, it was a dark green Mazda Tribute<\/a>. After a minute or so, I noticed the vehicle’s license plate. It was a vanity plate, and (since I now have a phone that allows me to take photos) I just had to snap a picture of it. Here it is:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nOkay, so I know that cell phone cameras (well, mine at least) are not known for taking the best quality pictures. But it was the best I could do. In case you can’t read the plate, it says: JEHOVAH.<\/p>\n

Wow!<\/p>\n

How exciting!<\/p>\n

I never would have guessed that Jehovah drove a tribute. When I was growing up, I was taught that the Almighty God drove something more akin to this:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nBut, facts are facts. And the fact is: He Who Causes To Become<\/em> drives a Mazda Tribute. In a way, this makes sense. Since he has unlimited resources, he probably doesn’t care that he’s only getting 11 miles to the gallon. And while Dodge’s Omni<\/a> is probably a more appropriate vehicle name for a deity, I can see why a selfish megalomaniac like Jehovah would find “Tribute” to be fitting as well.<\/p>\n

After taking this photo, I just had to see what God looked like. I know that Exodus 33:20 says that no one can look upon God’s face and live, but I figured that, like everything else in the bible, that verse is probably false, too. So I decided to chance it.<\/p>\n

Anyway, you heard it hear first, people: Jehovah’s ‘image’ is that of a clean-shaven black male, approximately 30 years old. He drives a Mazda Tribute.<\/p>\n

And he has vanity plates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
