The latest McCain ad features Paris, Britney.... and Obama. I guess this ad is targeted to the "I watch TMZ but quietly resent it and harbor negative feelings towards celebutard culture" demographic. Makes me yearn for simpler times, when politics focused on the more mainstream "soccer moms" and "Nascar Dads".
Where have you gone, Joe Dimaggio?

The most inattentive bloggers. Ever.
Dear Readers,
Thank you for your patience. We've been really lazy as of late (with good reason), and haven't been paying enough attention to our dear blog. The good news is that as difficult as it seems to build traffic, it is to lose traffic. So to the half dozen of you that have been with us since the beginning, we salute you.
So as long as I'm copping to being lazy... what's one more half-assed post? Below, a picture that made me laugh. Enjoy...

An open letter to Jerry Rivers
Dear Jerry,
We know that you're not aspiring to be Walter Cronkite.
We know what was in Al Capone's vault.
We know what happened to your nose back in the day.
We know that you made an ass of yourself in New Orleans and Afghanistan.
We know that you are on Fox News, after all.
But dude, come on. Running the video of the dead model's body? Even TMZ wouldn't do that...
Anyway, we hope you're having a good summer and The Hamptons, or wherever you're spending your holiday weekend, you crazy radical!
Regards,
Your Adoring Public

Caplickster: We Salute You
Last week Los Angeles' Troubadour theater hosted the Los Angeles Regionals of the Cuervo Black US Air Guitar Championships. We here at Flappy Days happen to know one of the contestants, and considering our current readership, there is about a 10 in 16 chance that you do too: Justin Caplicki, otherwise known on the Air Guitar circuit as "The Caplickster." The Caplickster took the stage last week clad in a silver cod piece, gold epaulets, a t-shirt advertising "Backstage Passes" - and I'm guessing a party of some kind - in his pants, and strike-anywhere matches taped to his fingers for the great finale of his performance of Van Halen's (what else?) "I'm on fire". And as you can see, he was, literally on fire. That's dedication to craft, folks. Caplickster made it to the second of two rounds, and came in 4th overall out of a pool of 20 competitors. Not good enough to move on to the semi-finals, but good enough to get a mention in the LA Weekly Online and to cement his name in the minds of air guitar fans everywhere. We'll be keeping on this guy - he's going places.
Caplickster - We Salute You.
