My distant pseudo internet father who probably hates me, Ben Brown, was inspired by Obama’s speech the other night about how the Republicans need to OWN THEIR FAILURE as a result of the past eight years, so he wants all of us to own our failures too.
Check out OwnYourFailure.com and let everyone know what failures you’re taking responsibility for. And then comment back here so I can feel better about my own failure!
What’s my failure? I’m taking responsibility for my huge contribution to global warming by driving over 16,000 miles in just about six months. Whoops? If it’s any less embarrassing, I drive a YARIS! That’s gotta count for somethin’.

In slightly related but totally hilarious news, apparently Gov. Sarah Palin scrubbed clean her own wikipedia entry just hours before her VP nomination was announced. Nice work, Princess!
Here’s a transcript of some of the highlights from NPR for anyone who can’t get the audio.
Just 15 minutes after rumor of her selection broke, a Wikipedia editor discovered something interesting. Yesterday, thirty mostly favorable changes were made to Palin’s Wikipedia biography.
The user making the changes was “Young Trigg.” Trig happens to be the name of Sarah Palin’s son.
The changes, all from a single source, included the addition of a quotation calling Palin “a politician of eye-popping integrity.” The edits diminished a reference to Palin’s participation in a beauty pageant and minimized a section about a controversy over whether Palin used her influence to get her ex-brother-in-law fired.
Haaahaahahha. Good job on creating a username named after your son to FAVORABLY EDIT YOUR OWN WIKIPEDIA PAGE. Too bad the internet doesn’t keep original copies of these kinds of things. OH WAIT — IT TOTALLY DOES!
Nothing spells INTEGRITY more than using the power of the internet to use selective information to spread to your voters.
