Offbeat: Autotune + cute kids + finger biting = Amazing.

  • It’s official. You can autotune anything. For some reason, what should be a silly little one-off video turns into something vaguely more epic when you add autotune to it. These kids know how to turn a finger-biting incident into a bedroom jam.

World: Hugo Chavez on revolutionary: “We thought he was a cannibal”

  • We thought he was a cannibal … I don’t know, maybe he was a great nationalist, a patriot.
  • Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez • Describing “Carlos the Jackal,” a Venezuelan “revolutionary fighter” jailed for a series of bombings, hostage situations and assassinations. He’s been jailed in France since 1997. But that’s besides the point – this line by Chavez is hilarious on its face. source

U.S.: For Patrick Kennedy, no shirts, no pro-life stance, no service

  • The bishop instructed me not to take Communion and said that he has instructed the diocesan priests not to give me Communion.
  • Patrick Kennedy • Regarding the crappy service he got recently when he tried to get communion recently. Providence Bishop Thomas J. Tobin said that Ted Kennedy’s kid, a Rhode Island representative, wasn’t worthy of communion because he was pro-choice. And he told all of his pastors to do the same, Kennedy says. Tobin’s rep has no comment on the denying-Pat-communion part of this debate, but denies the pastor-telling part. source
