Pop Bites for Oct. 7

October 7, 2008 //

1. Google wants to help keep you from firing off drunken e-mails at 4 in the morning.

2. Hulu is one place where you can watch tonight’s presidential debate in streaming video.

3. Speaking of tonight’s debate, we’re live blogging here at etruth again at 8:30 p.m. EST.

4. Too bad it’s only Tuesday — here’s an Indecision 2008 presidential debate drinking game. (I like this one: Every time McCain refers to his running mate, stand up, face Russia and finish whatever bottle is in front of you.)

5. And this casting list gets curiouser and curiouser: Anne Hathaway and Helena Bonham Carter are the latest stars to sign on for Tim Burton’s upcoming Alice in Wonderland.

Didn't you get the memo?

Didn't you get the memo?

A smiling John McCain next to a headline (and an American flag, natch) declaring, “McCain Wins Debate” appeared in the online ed of the Wall Street Journal this morning. It has since been removed but will live on eternally in this screenshot.

McCain told Glamour magazine this look was one of his ultimate fashion "don'ts." Seriously.

At long last, the “suspense” is over — McCain’s gonna show up.

Pop Bites for 9/26 – Get her new single, cuz Britney’s “Got Your Crazy”

September 26, 2008 //

1. I missed the Grey’s Anatomy premiere last night, basically because collective whiny-ness amongst the cast (in real life and in script) has taken its toll. If you missed/skipped it, too, here’s a rundown.

2. “Who is Rosh Hashana, anyway?” I wonder if the person who sent that question to a DreamWorks exec still has her job.

3. If you’re daring, rip Britney Spears’ new single, “Womanizer”, here. Some unforgettable lyrics? “What’s that I’m crazy? I got your crazy.”
You sure do, Britney.

4. Oh man, here we go: John McCain’s top economic adviser claims McCain invented the BlackBerry. Somewhere, Al Gore is wishing he’d thought of that.

5. Ed McMohan will be the new face of Freecreditreport.com — the 85-year-old will be rapping in viral videos. Hmm.

Make the most of your US Presidential Debate-watching experience.

September 25, 2008 //

If you’ll be watching John McCain and Barack Obama verbally spar in the US Presidential Debate this evening, here are a few techonologically-savvy tips to get the most of out of the experience:
• Don’t just tune in to the tube. Visit etruth tomorrow, click on this story headline and do some “live blogging” of your own — get a discussion going about whichever issues the moderators throw at the candidates. You’ll have to register with our site, but it’s free (you can even create a user profile while you’re at it).
• Don’t watch the debates alone. If you’ve got the time, throw a “DebateWatch” party: The Commission on Presidential Debates recommends gathering your friends, picking a group leader and going over pre-planed discussion questions afterward, i.e. “What topics or issues discussed in the debates were most useful or informative?”
• Embrace Web 2.0 technology. Twitter will feature plenty of 140-character-or-less “tweet” updates on tonight’s debate happenings. If you join the site, you’ll be able to follow journalists, pundits and regular viewers alike as they observe. Notable Twitter users include Time.com blogger Ana Marie Cox and MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann.
• Forget TV. Watch the whole dang thing online, if you want: University of Mississippi is Ground Zero for the debate this year, and will offer live streaming coverage of the event on its web site. Click here to catch “Debatecasts” past and present.

PB’s for 9/25: McCain Stands up Letterman. Dave proceeds to catch him in the act.

Johnny Depp is Willy Wonka and Sweeney Todd and Captain Jack and Mad Hatter.

Johnny Depp is Willy Wonka and Sweeney Todd and Captain Jack and Mad Hatter.

1. Johnny Depp has signed on to do a fourth installment of Pirates of the Caribbean. Considering the considerable length of the third one, this makes me a little bit nervous. Depp will also play the Mad Hatter in Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland. Perfect.

2. The Simpsons will embark on their 20th season this weekend. Guest stars include Seth Rogan and Jodie Foster.

3. John McCain canceled last night’s appearance on Letterman because he was “racing back to Washington” to take care of the financial crisis. But he actually put Washington on hold to interview with Katie Couric instead. That Maverick. Such a rascal.

4. Speaking of rascals … this man broke wind on a police officer and was subsequently charged with battery.

5. And lastly, MySpace has partnered with Amazon to launch an interactive music service:

Starting in a few hours, MySpace members will be able to create an infinite number of playlists, each containing up to 100 songs. In addition, any song in the entire catalog will be searchable by song, artist and album, as opposed to the current set-up that requires visits to band pages in order to add songs to playlists. Members will be able to follow their MySpace friends’ latest playlists through a simple news feed interface.

McCain suspends campaign.

September 24, 2008 //

John McCain is taking a break from the campaign trail to fix the growing American financial crisis. This also means he wants to delay Friday’s debate against Democratic nominee Barack Obama.

Wasn’t McCain saying our economy was just fine — or at least fundamentally sound — like, a week ago?

Times like these, I wish the good old Dr. Gonzo were still alive. Talk about leaving the party early — Hunter S. Thompson would’ve had a field day.
