The Daily Plunge

I don’t have anything in particular to talk about this evening, but here’s what I found when I went trolling for links…

Whoopi Goldberg: I forgot to mention this a few days ago, but it looks like I spoke too soon about Whoopi Goldberg. She doesn’t think Mel Gibson is a racist, racist. Goldberg believes the Tea Party has racist elements, but Mel Gibson’s rants are just the product of alcoholism, kind of like Reggae is just the product of marijuana.

Speaking of Mel Gibson, it looks like at least some of the tapes that have been released have been doctored. It seems like a stretch to believe the tapes could be edited enough to manufacture all those quotes; however, why would they bother editing the tapes? My suspicions were aroused by all the Old Spice ads peppered throughout.

Roman Polanski: It appears the Department of Justice under the mismanagement of Eric Holder botched the case by not relaying key information to the Los Angeles DA. I’m sure there’s a logical explanation for this, but my guess is the DoJ is more concerned about pursuing a nonsensical lawsuit against Arizona to be worried about child rapists at large.

Way-too-early presidential polls: Everyone knows it’s way too early for 2012 polls, but that doesn’t make them any less interesting. President Obama is polling below most of his prospective Republican rivals. The most shocking aspect of the poll is that he’s tied with Sarah Palin. That’s sure to send the left into a rabid conniption fit, not that it takes much to do it. All it really takes is two words: Sarah Palin.

Apple iPhone 4: Apple has really botched the PR with its new phone. The issue with the antenna has cause a lot of embarrassment. Steve Jobs is throwing together a damage control press conference tomorrow. Let’s just call it what it is…  iDamage Control. BTW… What the hell are we doing with antennas in the 21st Century anyway?

Old Spice Commercials: Finally, I can’t help but point out genius marketing when I see it. The new Old Spice ads are fantastic. I found myself saying “swan dive” and chuckling to myself quite a lot today. No wonder I almost got fired.
