SF IV National Tournament
SF IV is beautiful in the hands of elite players. Justin Wong played an awesome Rufus and won the National Title. Daigo bested him in Exhibition. I don't think this was a formal International competition so we'll have to wait till EVO 09.
As stated from SRK
It was a crazy night in San Francisco as a 2 month long national tournament concluded. Justin Wong was crowned the Gamestop National champion, and then shortly after had to face off against 3 extremely good SF players. Iyo the Japanese national champion, Poongko the Korean national champion, and Daigo the world reknown SF player. All four players battled it out round robin style.
Daigo the beast went undefeated as he won with his trademark character of Ryu. He has been awarded a free trip to Evo to compete against the top players in the world.
See everyone at Evo 2009!

I laughed my ass off at the Borat movie. I can't wait to see this! DAY ONE.
Richard Dawkins Rap
Rap starts around a minute in
Video was made by some creationist folks, but it ends up making Dawkins look like a bad ass instead!
"Yeah he's the Dick to the Dawk to the PhD,
he's smarter than you he's got a science degree!"
Enough Dawkins/Atheism for now...
Dawkins reponds on his site:
If anyone can understand a single word of this, don't bother to translate, just tell me whose side it's on. I get the feeling (same with South Park) that there are people out there who assume that something that is obviously MEANT to be funny therefore must BE funny, and they immediately shower it with accolades such as "Wow", "Hilarious", "Awesome" and, most side-splitting of all, "LOL".
Sorry, I seem to be showing my age. Enjoy yourselves LOLling away.

SF IV obsession
Wow. I don't think I've put this many hours into a single game since CSS or TF2. My win % will start coming down now that I've been meeting and friend-ing some people with super-SFIV ass kicking skills. On one hand I have an irrational desire to have a high win % but on the other I want to play with people better than myself.

Wow this is horrible.
The "National Organization for Marriage" got YouTube to pull the leaked audition tapes of their false "victims" from their anti-gay ad.
Thankfully some people grabbed the vids while they still could:

A potential parody ad from a reddit user:
There's a storm gathering.
The clouds are dark, and the winds are strong.
And I am afraid of black people.
Some who advocate for 'inter-racial' marriage have taken the issue far beyond multi-racial couples.
They want to bring the issue into my life. I might have to watch my children marry someone who's not white!
My freedom will be taken away, if negroes are allowed to marry with whites.
I'm a California doctor. If inter-racial marriage is legalized, I might have to allow negroes or wetbacks to see their white loved ones.
I am a member of a New Jersey church group. We are punished by the CIA, because we cannot support racial equality.
I am a Massachussets parent, helplessly watching as public schools teach my son that all people are equal, and that love transcends petty boundaries.
Some who advocate for 'inter-racial' marriages have not been content with inter-racial couples, living in sin. They want to change the way I live. By allowing other people to marry.
I will have no choice. Because of new freedoms for others.
The storm is coming.
But we have hope. A coalition of concerned, hardworking whites of every creed and nationality are coming together in our hatred of black people, to protect our sacred tradition of marriage. Visit nation for marriage .org
