that guy over there...

fun with amazon: i guess we didn't like bush...

so my random clicking just now lead me to this barack obama:  the man and the moment calendar.  it looks like a nice wall calendar with some very elegant shots of the president.  oddly, the calendar had a review.  who would review a calendar i thought?  the answer?  some cunt named l. mckeever:

"This was given to me as a present, glad I didn't pay the $1.54 for it. If you wait another month or two it will probably be free w/free shipping."

this review actually got me annoyed.  you're glad you didn't pay $1.54 for a calendar?  calendars are expensive!  she gave the calendar one star.  i had to comment that her review was simply some right winger shitting on anything that has to do with the president.  i pointed out that even if she hated him, it still functioned as a calendar and was therefor worth at least 2 1/2 stars.

but using her line of thought i decided to search "george bush calendar." 

presidential (mis) speak 2004 calendar: the very curious language of george w. bush

$4.98

2008:  george w. bush out of office countdown wall calendar

$12.99

pardon my president 2009 desk calendar

$6.99

believe it or not, they didn't try to stretch into 2010.  i mean, couldn't they have done a  2010 "days since he left office and we've been so deliriously happy we've accepted everything obama has done even though most of it hasn't been all that great and just kept talking about how great it was...hell we even sort of like hillary because obama told us to" calendar?

i guess that'd be too hard to fit on a box.

how about an obama  2010 "times he said 'umm' because he went off prompter or someone asked him a non scripted question" calendar? 

oh, i guess it's disrespectful to make fun of the president again...

fun with amazon: living green...

so i finally went through and got an amazon prime membership.  why?  because in my many marathon sessions of randomly clicking links because my body was tired but my brain was not ready to sleep i wind up finding a lot of really neat really cheap stuff on amazon (and porn!).  in my tired state i often think "i'm going to buy this widget because it costs $2 and even though i'll never use it or even really look at it, i just have to buy it because it's $2."  it's kind of like my friend brian's theory on t-shirts "if a t-shirt costs $5 you have to buy it."

the problem with my wanting random widgets is that while the widget may cost $2 shipping is often $6 or $7.  amazon prime takes care of that.  

today my random clicking led me to the 2010 history channel this day in history calendar which for $2.53 will make a lovely part of my cousin danielle's christmas present (SURPRISE!!).  that click led me to the living green calendar.  which led me to the whole point of this post. a two line joke that thinking about it, isn't all that good...
