2009, as Simplified by That Simple Google Wave Simplification

Years from now — when the world is one smoldering rock and the only vestiges of our culture that have survived are Arby's roast "beef", that Kanye West I'mma let you finish… meme, and the United Empires of Google — everyone will use Google Wave to mark passages of time, like this…

…but for now, I still don't understand what the hell is going. Is a new "Wave," more like an email or an instant message? Can I kind of merge my Wave account with my Gmail account? And why would I ever even want to do that?

Download Your Free Arianna Huffington Halloween Mask!

As we're sure you already know — being the cut-out Halloween mask aficionado that you are — the Huffington Post was super-nice enough to provide everyone with free, downloadable, last minute Halloween costumes of Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck, Rod Blagojevich and Kanye West, the most important people in American culture.

And that got us thinking: Maybe we should also give back to society in a similar fashion. And that's just what we did.

So, here's an even last-minuter Halloween costume: Behold the Arianna Huffington Halloween mask.

Just dilute this mask in eleven million parts water, drink it down, and you're ready to go Trick or Treating!

It's fun and good for your chakra.

Jimmy Carter on Kanye West (Wait, What?)

Jimmy Carter wins…

Former President Jimmy Carter took a swipe at rapper Kanye West's behavior at Sunday's MTV Video Music Awards, saying it was "completely uncalled for" and "his punishment was to appear on the new Jay Leno Show.

That guy is on a roll, picking off assholes one by one. (Though, I do think that punishment might have been a bit excessive.)

But, also, think about this: Kanye West — Kanye West! — has now been publically dissed by two U.S. presidents in one week. And he did that without threatening to explore the production of nuclear weapons.

Just goes to show you: We all have a chance of making our dreams come true. God bless America!
