Overnight Open Thread

Hello, hello all M&Ms. Welcome to your regularly scheduled CatSaturday night ONT.

The Star Trek-Ke$ha Mashup

Okay I know that Ke$ha seems to drive a lot of people crazy even worse than lady GaGa does but I kinda like her songs. Her videos not so much. But you know what makes everything a little better - some original series Trek is what - so here you go. Who knew the Enterprise crew were such partiers.

Reporters Caught Mocking Sarah Palin's Speech
AP and other news group fought to be able to cover Sarah's fund raising speech at California State University Stanislaus. But when they attended they didn't cover what she actually said and spent more time mocking her. You can listen to what was picked up in the audio in the above link.

Kevin Costner: Hero of the Gulf
BP has bought 32 of his oil/water separators and they really seem to work. Sothe next step is to start deploying them to the gulf. Some vindication for the actor who spent 17 years and $20 million of his own money trying to get the machines approved by the feds. Which starts to make up somewhat for Waterworld and The Postman.

The 100 Americans The Left Hates Most
Glenn Beck is #1, Charles Krauthammer barely beats out Ed Morrissey, and AP beats out Bobby Jindal.

Bionic Kitteh
Oscar the kitteh lost both hind paws in a farming accident in England. But thanks to groundbreaking veterinary surgery prosthetic paws were attached and allow him to run around almost completely normally. Part of the breakthrough was getting the prosthetics, bones, skins and fur to fuse together naturally.

In case you've forgotten...Ted Kennedy Was a Traitorous Bastard

"Tunney told his contacts that Kennedy was very troubled about the decline in U.S -Soviet relations under Reagan," Kengor the Grove City professor said in an interview. "But Kennedy attributed this decline to Reagan, not to the Soviets. In one of the most striking parts of this letter, Kennedy is said to be very impressed with Andropov and other Soviet leaders."

How To Train An Animator By Walt Disney
In this 1935 letter Disney lays out practically an entire training program for aspiring animators as well as his philosophy of how to make cartoons fun.

How To Treat Your Rifle Like A Lady
The comic book guide the Army gave to soldiers in Vietnam to show them how to maintain their M16s. Meet 'maggie' and learn the proper use of negligee. Actually it's a pretty entertaining way to learn even if you're already familiar with the M16 family.

The 5 Most Requested Celebrity Hairstyles in America
Well The Rachel is the number celebrity haircut of all time. But apparently the top most requested haircut this summer is the Gwyneth Paltrow. Really? I don't get it.

What to give when you really care? Why the Human Centipede necklace of course.

The Yahoo AoSHQ group. Bla bla bla. And don't forget about the Job Bank.
