Paging Fox News.

The Observer reports that Barack Obama's family might have owned slaves. Surely some of you guys can spin this:

It is a question that few thought a man aiming to be America's first black President would ever have to answer: did your family once own slaves?

But that question is now likely to be asked of Senator Barack Obama, who is bidding for the 2008 presidential nomination of the Democratic Party, in part on the appeal of his bi-racial background.
As the son of a black Kenyan father and a white Kansan mother, Obama has seemed to embody a harmonious vision of America's multiracial society. However, recent revelations have thrown up an unexpected twist in the tale.

Obama's ancestors on his white mother's side appear to have been slave owners. William Reitwiesner, an amateur genealogical researcher, has published a history of Obama's mother's family and discovered that her ancestors have a distinctly shadowy past.

Reitwiesner traced Obama's great-great-great-great-grandfather, George Washington Overall, and found that he owned two slaves in Kentucky: a 15-year-old girl and a 25-year-old man. He also found out that Obama's great-great-great-great-great-grandmother, Mary Duvall, also owned a pair of slaves listed in an 1850 census record. They were a 60-year-old man and a 58-year-old woman. In fact, the Duvalls were a wealthy family whose members were descended from a major landowner, Maureen Duvall, whose estate owned at least 18 slaves in the 17th century.

PS: Holy fucking fuck. I was searching for a good picture of Obama when I came across this 2005 post from a right wing blog, with accompanying photoshoppery below. I was only being ironic writing the title, I didn't actually think people would actually attempt to tie Obama with white supremacists.

Hitler Ist Emo.

I should be surprised how many Emo Hitler pics there are, but considering the amount of time I've spent on the internet I really am not.

Failed artist? Check.
Screams in front of cheering crowds? Check.
Hatred of anyone not conforming to his own aesthetic ideal? Check.

The '300' Workout.

How the actors in Frank Miller's '300' got in shape for their roles.

You'll notice they aren't doing any curls or tricep extensions, no machines, no pussy bodybuilding "watch yourself in the mirror exercises" crap. It takes real world strength to flip tires and do pullups and squats and sprints. Essentially, the actors were training for performance - and the look came with it.

The average celebrity trainer would have trained the actors to look like Spartan Warriors - Mark Twight put the actors in 300 through workouts that would create the kind of strength and power they would need to be Spartan Warriors.

A Word From My Primate Brother.

Anderson Silva.

Great highlight of former McDonald's employee(!) turned UFC champion Anderson Silva. Primarily a Muay Thai practitioner known for his flying knees and elbows of death, Silva is also an accomplished ground fighter with a black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

He can dance pretty well too.
