Maru the Cat for President in 2012!

I was reading a great article on Salon.com by Alex Pareene along the same lines of the article I linked to yesterday about Republicans turning to conservative bloggers and talk show hosts for legislative advice.  In that article, the writer referenced a NY Times column that makes a weird suggestion for how to elect our next President.  Pareene gives us a look into the future if this weird idea were to come to pass that had me dying with laughter:

Faced with a legislative system with too many veto points and a polarized national electorate regularly splitting their votes between the right-wing party and the incoherent party of "everyone else," Friedman suggests that we elect a third-party president via Web poll. Yes!!! THAT WILL SOLVE EVERYTHING. Someone with no power base in either party, selected by Reddit users. Can't you just imagine how President Maru the Box Cat would be able to cut through this "partisanship" and get things done with "leadership" from the "radical center"? This Web poll third party will be the Amazon.com of politics, in that it will kill the Borders of politics. (I think the Borders of politics, in this example, is the labor movement. Sorry!)

 For the uninitiated, this is Maru the Cat:

Hilarious suicide attempt from the movie Cyberbully!

I just finished drying the tears in my eyes after watching this video.  Not because it's sad but because it's freakin' hilarious.  Now, before you jump down my throat and ask how a suicide attempt can be hilarious, just trust me. I would never make fun of suicide.  I know from personal experience that it's not a laughing matter.  However, this POS is sooooo badly written, acted, and directed that it's hard to take seriously.  The humor begins at about 2:08 in the video and it brings up so many questions.  First, how long was she struggling to get that bottle open?  Unless, her friend, the mother, AND the paramedics were right around the corner, she had to have been trying to open that damn bottle for about 20 minutes.  Also, where so these people live? Who just leaves the house open for any ranting teen to just barge in.   Sigh.  Rarely have I ever watched something where I've been close to tears on moment and then laughing hysterically the next.   That, my friends, is a work of unintentional genius!
(Thanks, Gawker!)
