In our never-ending quest to find something to put on the iPad that will amuse the cat we came up with this: something quite mesmerizing.

I strongly recommend you download the hi-def version and watch that.

The first Stinquer who can tell me why I chose this particular picture to accompany this post wins a romantic weekend with noje to experience the Bakersfield Birkenstock Music Festival: Socks Optional! Two days, and nights, of fun and adventure at the glamorous Days Inn.

We usually ignore political ads — unless they’re really, really silly — but this entry, from Karl Rove’s Billionaire Boys Club, caught our attention. It’s supposed to frighten us that The Preznident of These United States is selling us out to the Russkies. But every time we watch it, he comes off looking fucking cool. Might be the tux. Or the counterproductive insistence that Barack Obama is really 007.

We lost track of Keef after he went to Current, mainly because we can’t get Current in Sandy Eggo, and last we checked, the podcast version only contained clips.

And, heck, we haven’t been above throwing spitballs at him on occasion.

But one of the highlights — if not the highlight — of our Accidental Blogging Career came the night Keith Olbermann featured our mock Christine O’Donnell billboard on MSNBC’s Countdown. And for that, we’ll always be grateful.

We know. We know the candidate Barack Obama, what he was like: the antiwar, government nig — uh, the — fuh — the, uh — America was a source for division around the world, that what we were doing was wrong, and we need to pull out, and we need to pull back.

Our call? Safe at home. But while we’re there, “We need to pull out” would be our choice for out-of-context soundbite.

Our guest colloquists are Mitt Romney, George H.W. Bush, and Barbara Bush, performing at Mr. Bush’s ninth-floor office in Houston.

“Thank you, Mr. President. It’s an honor to be here in your office and in these, uhh, Cabinet-style chairs. Is that right?” Romney asked.

“Exactly,” Bush said.

Romney: “Is this the chair you sat in as President?”

Bush: “I think, well—”

Barbara Bush, to Romney: “You’re in the President’s chair.”

Bush: “They’re all, I sat in all of them. I had to buy them all, as a matter of fact.”

This is a Bacon Coffin. It sells for $2,999.95. It’s offered as a promotional stunt by a company that markets bacon salt. And it must be effective, because, well, this is a Bacon Coffin.

We’re showing you the Bacon Coffin because it’s a real coffin. We know the Bacon Coffin is a real coffin because the company’s Facebook page features a photo of the company owners buying the real coffin from Costco.

“An effort to tax strippers and adult businesses to help pay for a reduction in the state tax on coins, bullion and investment income has failed for the year… The bill sought to impose a 20 percent sales tax on items sold at ‘sexually oriented businesses,’ and to require strippers to pay a privilege tax to work in Tennessee.” [KnoxNews, via Redmanlaw]
