The Chinese are constructing a 13 mile long dragon.

It's good to know that World War IV will be fought amongst giant Armies of One.

Crazy Horse will officiate.

The Temporary (White House Press) Secretary: She's a Lady!

Dana Perino, who is filling in for Tony Snow as White House Press Secretary, might be the best (or at the very least, most attractive) person to come out of 6+ years of Bush.

In her first press conference in the new role, she's already admitting the backwardness of the administration and the inconsistencies of its stance on the fired US Attorneys (fwd. to ~1:30 mark of the video below to skip Olbermann's rant and get to the WHPS hotness):

Read on to find out who the greatest WHPS ever is. Hint: It's not Bill Moyers, Ari Fleischer, Joe Lockhart, or Dee Dee Myers.

Eliot Spitzer: Now with Bigger Guns Than Jim Webb's Aides

In the photo below, taken during NY Governor Eliot Spitzer's budget showdown with the state legislature, Spitzer is presumed to be thinking about whether his heavy-on-education, and including-universal-health-care, with cuts-to-medicaid-spending budget will get passed.

But on further examination, I'm pretty sure he's thinking about eating your children.

David Lynch: Cartoonist

With the upcoming DVD release of David Lynch's three-hour, two+ years in the making Inland Empire, which we once declared was a better film to go see than Mel's Mayan extravaganza or that movie that Leo actually got an Oscar nod for, Cosmodrome would just like to take moment to recognize David Lynch the cartoonist.

Lynch and his work, (especially his non-film art) may be known as creepy, surreal, or just plain fucked up, but most of us here at the 'drome all agree he's pretty mindblowing. And after a recent trip to Paris and checking out a gallery exhibiting many of his early sketches, recent photography, and, um, odd paintings, my new favorite Lynch work just might have to be a series of cartoons he did called Dumbland. I'm pretty sure I could never do it justice in writing, so just check this first episode out:

Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer

This Wikipedia article on Phil Hartman's old SNL character "Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer" is currently my favorite Wikipedia entry.

"Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I'm just a caveman. I fell on some ice and was later thawed by some of your scientists. Your world frightens and confuses me! When I see my image on the security camera at the country club, I wonder, are they stealing my soul? I get so upset, I hop out of my Range Rover, and run across the fairway to the clubhouse, where I get Carlos to make me one of those martinis he's so famous for, to soothe my primitive caveman brain. But whatever world you're from, I do know one thing: in the 20 years from March 22, 1972, when he first ordered that extra nicotine be put into his product, until February 25, 1992, when he issued an interoffice memorandum stopping the addition of that nicotine, my client was legally insane."

Read on for an episode of Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer.
