HAHA, YAY, LET'S DO JUST THAT! Ya know? Maybe she can stand up to the hilarious deranged terror propaganda machine of Rick Perry, just by laughing in its ridiculous Bruckheimeresque face. Those kind of monsters usually evaporate when you realize they're ridiculous.

That's just decent. But the thing about the game is that it kind of sucks, in terms of playability. (Though it rules in terms of gorgeousness-the visuals are awesome.) As a game itself, though, there's almost nothing there. It comes with so few tracks, it isn't terribly challenging, and in terms of a "game," as in, an advancing storyline, it is abysmal. Last week, Rock Band released a Queen ten-song pack, and in terms of playability and fun, those ten Queen songs are more than ten times the fun of Beatles: Rock Band. (EVEN IF IT HAS THE RADIO EDIT OF "FAT BOTTOMED GIRLS" INSTEAD OF THE ORIGINAL OMG FANBOYS GO NUTZ.) Now Queen is appearing in the forthcoming and utterly gay (AS IN BAD) Lego Rock Band, which, whatever, but really we must all unite to ensure that the rumored Queen Rock Band actually happens. Like we need Woody Allen to seriously put together a petition on this shit. Because then our lives will look like this, every day.

Roger Ailes. The Fox News honcho, who has an "aggessive, winning personality" according to Politico [sic], has neither of those three things. He is basically the Giuliani who swears more. I really hope he runs!
