HOLY CRAP WILL YOU LOOK AT THAT THING!

SAN JOSÉ MINE, Chile — The first of 33 miners who had been trapped underground for two months ascended to the surface here early Wednesday morning, the beginning of the end of a rescue operation that has inspired the nation and riveted the world.

The first miner, Florencio Ávalos, 31, traveled up a narrow, nearly half-mile rescue shaft in a specially designed capsule that officials had been testing for much of Tuesday. When he emerged, rescue crews broke out into huge rounds of applause. (via)

what are you doing tonight?

in other la roux news

did you see her new video? it's about as boring as this song.


did you hear kanye rap on the remix?

remember when kelis covered it?

woah.

way-ull-st. obviously....proven witch christine o'donnell and her campaign thinks you're some kind of idiot, drunk on 3 month-old internet phenomena. she just released this commercial, which feels like a paranormal activity 2 trailer, until they bring in the big guns:

"hide your will, hide your lights, 'cause he's taxin' everything out here."

that's right. the dumb bitch thinks we're going to be won over by a subtle nod to song of the summer, "the bed intruder song" by soon to be legendary hip hop artist, antoine dodson, which features the fantastic lyrics:

"hide your kids, hide your wife, hide your kids, hide your wife. and hide your husband, 'cause they rapin' errybody out here."



you are so dumb, christine. you are really dumb.

chilean miners rescue

they are about to be rescued any second now... but have you seen the one man elevator they are putting down there to pull them out one by one? i have so many questions. they say it takes like 20 minutes to pull somebody out. how do they pick who goes last? what if you freak out 7 minutes in? that bottom escape hatch doesnt look too promising either.

UPDATE: i just read the article where i got this image. it actually answered a lot of my questions. thank you internet!

yesterday in presidential news

barack obama was at a political rally in philadephia. two things: 1, somebody threw a book at the president that narrowly missed him, 2, somebody took all of their clothing off. weird day to be president i imagine. via.
