Excuse me?!

So...wives are so precious that they need to be bubble-wrapped?! WTF!!!!

SNL, Palin and Zardari

The Sarah Palin-Katie Couric interview is all over the net. The interview is hilarious! I almost feel sorry for Palin. The poor thing is so clueless...you just want to pat her and tell her, "Honey, it's okay, you can go back to your moose and hockey games." But the SNL skit just takes the cake! Tina Fey is, as usual, awesome as Palin! If this was a Bollywood script, then Fey would pucca be playing Palin's long lost twin :) Amy Poehler plays Couric.

SNL had earlier come up with yet another winner...with Fey doing her first Palin impression and Poehler reprising her Clinton act.

By the way, Fey supposedly had reservations about doing the Palin impression.

And talking of Sarah Palin, the Great Bong, as usual, comes up with an amazing what-if account of the VP hopeful's rendezvous with Pakistani Premier Asif Ali Zardari. Watching Zardari gush over how gorgeous Palin is (which, according to him, explains why the US is going nuts over the 'lipstick hockey mom'), is like watching a Lollywood villain leching over the nubile, gullible heroine!

Here's a video of the incident.

Palin is such a problematic figure. Thinking of her as a symbol of women's empowerment is a very scary thought, and as a VP candidate, even more scarier. Enough has been said about her...she's super anti-choice (Palin does not support pregnancy termination even in the case of rape and incest victims), believes that creationism should be taught in schools, is against marriage equality and supports a federal gay marriage ban (though she makes it a point to emphasize that she has "gay friends"), she has a terrible track record when it comes to environment issues, and let's not even get into foreign policy. And yet, she's supposedly broken through the glass ceiling, though one wonders whether it's because of her VPILF quotient, or because she avoids Clinton-esque tangerine pant suits!

Here's Matt Damon describing the prospect of Palin becoming a Prez as "a really bad Disney movie"

back from hibernation and Palin

yes...it's been a really really really long time. way too long to even qualify as hibernation! but here i am...and hopefully, i'll be a tad more diligent with posting.

absolutely no time for a post right now. a catnap turned into a three hour sleepathon and now i'm freaking out about tomorrow's presentation. i think i'm being way too fan-ish and not scholarly enough...and i think my argument is not effective/coherent enough :(

and it doesn't help that the paper is about SRK and Chak De! :( i can feel my 'closet SRK fan' take over the grad student me :(

anyways, will be back with more Bollywood stuff soon. as of now, just a link to something that left me completely speechless. i mean, seriously, what the hell do you say to this

and this takes the cake (seriously!)

"If he's insisting, I might hug," Zardari said. Palin smiled politely in response.

I heart Madhavan!

the usual timepass on youtube and i come across some madhavan clips. so now i'm obviously bigtime trippin over Maddy! :D
