Vote for Votto

Reds first baseman (and Canadian citizen) Joey Votto needs your help. See, for some reason, even though he's leading the NL in home runs, in the top 5 (total guess) in RBIs and batting average, and playing for the NL Central-leading Reds, he's not on the All-Star team.

You can help change this.

Instead of looking for amputee porn or video of fat people falling down the stairs, go to this link and sign up. you can put in a fake email or one you never use, then just put in the stupid code to prove you're not a bot. After that rigorous process, you can vote 2,000 times.

If you want to be nice and vote for someone from the AL, go for Kevin Youkilis. He might play for the assface Red Sox, but he's from Cincinnati and graduated from the same hallowed high school as the author of this blog.

So Vigilant, You Betcha

Good to see the McCain staff is screening their phone calls well. Apparently VP pick Sarah Palin was duped by some frenchies pretending to be french president Nicolas Sarkozy in a prank call.

I love how 'the president' saying he liked having, um, relations with his wife and a reference to porn didn't tip Palin off. Maybe she was too busy keeping an eye on those pesky Russians.

You can listen to the audio here, but be patient. It takes a minute to download.

Besides wondering how the hell the Secret Service couldn't screen that call correctly, I'm really curious to know whether she has any idea what 'C'est La Vie' actually means. Maybe her personal shopper can tell her.

UPDATE (11/4): Apparently these guys were Canadians, but they're from quebec, so they're French Canadians. Which makes them my brothers, I think. Go canucks.
